Warmer Weather..
The past two days have been really nice, weather wise. My training has been ok. I have a mini vacation from one job this week. It should feel like an entire vacation but I am still preparing lessons for my night classes and morning tutor sessions. I am also getting caught up on job applications and spring cleaning so my high hopes for lots of training is not really working out.
Yesterday I ran an hour on the golf course. I did half of the run with Mark and one of his friends. We ran a pretty good pace but my quad was pretty sore. I was limping for much of the way. I think my quad was sore from the bike riding I did on Sunday. I ran in shorts and a t-shirt and was hot. It felt really good.
In the afternoon on Monday I met the middle school track team and did the warm up and drills with the team. We then did core body. We then did 4 x 400 at 91, 88, 87, and 81, and finished with a 45 sec. 200. The entire group of six middle level students stayed together for the workout which was great. We then did a cool down and stretched a lot which felt good.
Today I went to the gym in the morning and biked for forty minutes. I then lifted for a half hour. We had middle level practice in the late morning and I was able to run about two miles with the team and do core body. I felt pretty good today. I was hoping to do some mile repeats tonight but got side tracked.
Mark and I went to Burlington today in search of a new car. Mark currently has a jeep. He loves it but knows it will not be very economical to drive across the country. We spent the entire afternoon and evening shopping around and eventually ended up with a new car. Mark had to say good bye to his jeep. We got a brand new Impreza Sport Outback. For me, this is my first brand new car. At the moment we now have this new Impreza and we have a 99 Impreza. We hope to be able to sell my 99 car sometime between now and the end of July when we start our drive to AK.
Shopping for cars made me really tired and I had a hard time thinking about running after being in car dealerships all day. I hate shopping. By the time it was all said and done, I did not have to make a choice, it was dark out and I could not run. Instead Mark and I went to American Flatbread for dinner. This is a great organic pizza shop in Burlington. I love it and not only do they have great pizza but they also have a really delicious house salad. Mm....

So you went with the Impreza and not the Matrix...! :) Nice. The pizza sounds great. Hope break is going well.
