You Guys Are No Help
So it seems from the comments on my post from yesterday, most people remember their elementary teachers' names. Some more than others. But still - one commenter is like me. I agree with Greg though. We all remember things differently. Ask my husband what I said 5 minutes ago and he has no idea. Ask him what his 2nd grade teacher wore on the first day of school, and a full report follows. Weird how our brains work. :)
Anyway, today I did a running workout on the trail near our house. As I started I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I had planned on 3x6 minutes hard w/3 minutes rest but I have been a little fatigued lately and with my 1st tri coming up, I didn't want to push too hard. During my 12 minute warmup I contemplated:
1) just doing 2x6 minutes hard
2) doing 1x6, 2x3, 1x6 hard
3) doing 3x6 hard but with 4 minutes rest
4) just running the whole run easy
5) etc, etc, etc...
In the end however, I just did the original workout 3x6 minutes hard w/3 minutes rest and it was fine. I didn't feel super fresh but I also felt better than I thought I would and I was running faster than I thought. I finished up with 10 minutes cooldown for 46 minutes total. A fine day of running indeed.
Now it's time to eat. But first shower. And then somehow try to figure out my teachers' names for fear of further ridicule... :) Have a great weekend everyone!
