Today I had yet another track workout. These are so tough but always make me feel so good after. The workout was 3 X 2 mile repeats with 800 recoveries. Luckily, it wasn't too warm when I started my workout, and I felt really good throughout the whole run.
Here are the splits:
1 mile warmup- 8:41
2 mile repeat- 15:51
800 m recovery- 8:53
2 mile repeat- 15:53
800 m recovery- 9:03
2 mile repeat- 16:04
800 m recovery- 8:55
1.5 mile cool down- 12:51
=10 miles total at 8:17 average pace
After I finished the track workout, I drank some water, walked a little bit, and then did 2 sets of bleachers. Bleachers KILL me, but I know how beneficial they are, and the burn feels oh-so-good!

I just want to take a second to appreciate a good sandwich... Seriously, who doesn't love a nice sandwich. They provide protein, carbs, fats, and are very filling. You can even load them with veggies if you want. This one that I had for lunch yesterday was an Italian sandwich (ham, salami, provolone cheese) on whole wheat bread with dijon mustard. It was soooo yummy and it may be a repeat offender today!
I had an amazing dinner last night! I decided to bake a nice spaghetti squash. Once it was cooked, I mixed in pesto and parmesan cheese, and put it back into the oven. I then took it out, removed it from its shell, put some tomato sauce on top, and ta-da! I had a couple pieces of turkey pepperoni (protein, duh), and some garden fresh tomatoes and cukes. Obviously I had a nice hunk of ciabatta bread too, because carbs.
Finally, my sisters are moving into their new condo this week. They got the condo yesterday and now it's all about moving, painting, fixing, more painting, and more moving! They are only about 5 minutes from home, but boy do they have a lot of furniture!! The funnest part about this for me is that I get to bring the dog back and forth! She needs to get used to the new condo, so I bring her over multiple times of days. She has a ball running around, up and down the stairs, all around the rug. She had so much fun yesterday she zonked out on my bed!
Questions to ponder:
What is the hardest track workout for you? What is your favorite type of sandwich? Do you like squash? Have you ever moved?
