I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that.

Gym day. I was going to do all treadmill work but decided I wanted to do 1 more step class before the marathon. I'm glad I did. There was a sub and she was a lot of fun and we didn't jump and turn so much. Great workout though=6.0 miles. Jumped on the old tready after for 2 1/2 miles at 8:34 pace followed by back/biceps/abs. I don't know about everyone else but I think mentally, I'm tapering and know I don't have any huge workouts before the big day, so I have a ton of energy. I'm having a hard time sleeping because of backing off a little. Really, I'm not backing off a ton this week but like I said, mentally I think I am soooo......that was a lot of jibberish, hope you can all figure that one out.

Blue Pearl Izumi's-LOTS of miles. Still feel pretty good though.

Nope, it is just you. The rest of us feel like crud.

Great workout Michelle the machine! You shoulda thrown in 100 push ups for good measure.

I do have to say, I didn't really want to do my weights after all my cardio but still got it in. Tomorrow is pushup day at the stake center:)

Who was the sub?

From Michelle N. on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 15:09:50

Dana. She is really cute and bubbly. And nice.

I've not taken a class from Dana, maybe someday. I've not been to class for over a month anyway.

From Michelle N. on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:26:06

She's cute. She had a baby about 6 months ago and she teaches some 9:00 AM classes and also a couple of evenings. No early morning.

Nice run this morning Michelle! Way to grind it out!
