Busy day with family... finally about to get to the gym to run. This weeklong pass at Lifetime Fitness will have been well worth it! I got a whole bunch of new running gear today, which is always great.
Clockwise from upper left: Kinvara 4, Brooks running jacket, 2 x Run N Fun socks, Big Bang print Balaclava (Turtle Fur calls it Big Bang instead of Galaxy, but it still perfectly matches my shorts), Run N Fun running beanie, and running gloves built for a touch screen phone. Fritz would love these. :)
Also of note, I've decided that I need to clean up my diet if I'm going to race as well as possible in 2014, so I'm going to work with Allie on fixing up the way that I eat and I'm excited to see what that does for me!
Run: 10 miles on treadmill. Pretty boring. Forced myself to go easy (exactly 75:00). I was totally going to run outside today, but was doing things with my family all day and didn't get out the door until 9:30. Got to Lifetime Woodbury at 9:45 and slogged away for 75 minutes. New Kinvara 4s felt good.
You know you're bored of running on a treadmill when there's almost no day to day fluctuation in mileage. This week has been 10, 11, 9, 10, 11, 10 so far, with only one day outside (the one in a windchill of -17). I'm going to run something longer outside tomorrow to break up the monotony.
