Whichever, I'm physically feeling it. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, because really, what can you do about either?
My workouts are strong (I don't have the fatigue I had last year when training) but I just can't wait to get into bed every night! There have been a few lifestyle changes for me this year compared to the other years I've trained for a marathon . . .
They are all different, aren't they? Embrace, embrace, embrace.
It was negative-something-degrees again last night. The air so cold that it makes you cough when you take in a deep breath. What that means to me is…treadmill.
7 miles @ 7:47 pace
Today: easy 5 (I can do that)
Saturday: 17 (need to get my head around that one)
The pleasant surprise about running on the treadmill last night was that I was on a machine in front of a window, the screen was positioned low and I could see my foot strike in the reflection.
I've always battled controlling my left foot kicking out which is not efficient and can lead to injuries (basically bad form). I thought I "kicked" the habit, but I saw it happening!
Watching in the window, I had near perfect form for 7 miles.
That's very positive.
And after that, I went home and got in my p.j's !
