Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Easy miles on the lakefront with surprisingly excellent weather. Recovery pace was 9:36 min/mi. Did 15 mins abwork after, then lots of stretching and trigger point self massaging to get things back in order.

6 miles on the treadmill running the beginning of the NYC marathon. My treadmill said 10:00 min/mi pace, my watch said 8:20 min/mi pace. I think it was somewhere in between. Hopped on the elliptical for 20 mins after (I'm adding an extra day of running this week). Then finished up with my killer ab routine that always gets an intense burn.

AM: 2ish mi wu, running form drills, 4x60m strides, then 3x10min tempo w 5 min recoveries, and cd on the way home. The recoveries ended up being walks because it was so hot and humid. Avg 7:39 min/mi for the tempos (7:31, 7:41, 7:46). This was building up tempo time, so a good workout. 

PM: 47 mins weights. 95 lbs deadlifts! I think I could have done more, but a) I was scared, and b) the bar tears up my hands. Did weighted squats, box jumps, weighted lunges/single leg squats and upper body business.
