Training in Montana

2 miles this morning at the Y; planning to hit Boot Camp at Noon. My legs are sore! Not sure why an extra 2 miles made my calves so sore but they are. This short run was tough. I guess after 2 my legs would have woken up and the rest would be fine, but very interesting.

Noon Boot Camp. Holy sweaty headbands Batman! Great workout covering lots of areas. My butt will be really sore after plie's with 50 lbs of weights. But no tutu.

4 TM miles this morning at home before heading to a morning meeting presenting to the Executive team at work. Nothing like heading into the Shark Tank to motivate some running!

Watched Skyfall while running. This new habit of iPad + Netflix + headphones + TM is a pretty good combination.

4 TM miles at the Y while the outside begins to thaw. Should be a slush fest for the next week. Hopefully will mostly thaw by Saturday, but I doubt it as we've had 16+ inches in the past month and none of it has melted until today. Will make my long run very interesting (and wet and muddy). Highs of 41, 47, 46, 42, 45 forecast. After driving on ice for the past month I'm looking forward to some pavement.

Decent run today but a bit sluggish. Probably the TM blues more than anything. If I were outside I think I would have been able to adjust pace a bit better. Hopefully the worst of our winter is over so I can mostly run outside (but probably not).

Day off from running so I hit the spin class for 25 minutes. I couldn't spare the full hour even though I wanted to, and my legs will thank me later for just a short burst. I need to hit that class more often. Good use of different muscles in the same family.

Thank goodness for treadmills. Did 3 miles outside. I was planning 6 but got started late, then when I hit the main road I took off the spikes because normally the road is clear and the spikes are worthless. Not today. I was slip sliding away so I turned around at 1 1/2 miles and headed back and finished on the treadmill. And you know what? A subway car nearly killed James Bond. Thankfully he got away. What will happen now that he and M are at his family manor in Scotland? Stay tuned.

14 miles outside. Lovely day. Ice melted yesterday from the main road so I just ran. Went up my normal Saturday hill and brought along the spikes but ended up only needing them the first and last 3/4 mile. Felt pretty good throughout. Left hammy a bit tight during and definitely after. Need to roll it more religiously.
