Much Better
Today I did another running workout and thankfully, I felt much better than last week when I had an alien body invasion.
When I got home from work Roxy and O were still out doing their little jog and since O wanted to do the workout with me, I figured I'd wait for him by laying down on the bed. And then that was that - I was out for 45 minutes even though Roxy attacked me when her and O got home! It felt good to take a quick nap though - these 5 day work weeks tire me out! :)
We finally got going around 4:45 and were running by 5 down at the trail. The workout today was 10 minutes warmup, 5x3 minutes hard with 2 minutes jogging rest and then 9 minutes cooldown for a total of 42 minutes.
I felt much smoother and stronger today than last Saturday. It was still a very hard workout but this time I at least felt like my legs were going in the correct direction! The last one was especially tough but I just tried to maintain form and push as long as I could. I would be interested in knowing what kind of pace I was running on the harder parts. Then again, since it's probably not very fast at all, it might be best left unknown. :)
It's been an absolute beautiful day here in Pittsburgh! It's in the 70s and sunny and the sky is big and blue. I hope the great weather continues through the weekend because tomorrow O and I are attending a bike maintenance class (boy do I need it!) outside which is followed by an actual bike ride. Then on Sunday, Roxy has been invited to a birthday party at an outside dog park. Yes - you read it right - our dog has been invited to a birthday party! I told Roxy (who just got a bath, by the way, for the special occasion) that there would be birthday hats and Frosty Paws and she was all for it. She sure is one spoiled pooch! :)

I love the fact that Roxy is going to a birthday party! I hope you give us the inside scoop on Sunday :) I take my dog to doggy day care on days when I will be gone longer than 6 hours. People laugh at me, but our dogs are our kiddies - we can't help it ;)
