Location: NYSC - LI, Treadmill:(
13 miles, 1:58
Too much snow make the long island streets obnoxious. Had to take it inside today. Went to gym to do long run on the treadmill. Dont have accurate stats on pace today. The particular treadmill I was on stops your workout after an hour and a half and makes you restart if you want to keep going. I had my Nike+ wristband but i havent been able to calibrate it yet. It registered over 15 miles at something like 7:59 pace. I did the first mile at 6.3, then 5 miles at 6.6 (9:05/mile) and then 7 miles at 6.7 (8:57/mile). Incline was 1.0. The workout was intended to be 13 miles at MP +15 seconds, or about 9:00/mile.
And yes, I did say NYSC. They made me an offer I couldnt refuse - a passport membership at half the cost of what i was paying before to go to only the one gym in my home neighborhood. Its a great move bc now i have a gym next to the office, next to my house and next to BFs house on LI. No excuses!
Yesterday went to the same gym, did 30 min of cardio on the elliptical and then lifted. I've actually lifted 3x per week successfully for the last 2 weeks. Crazy sore but glad to be back into a routine with lifting. As I began to get busy in the 2 months before the marathon i had stopped doing in regularly. I justified this at the time as a taper for the race but really i just wasn't making the time, particularly on a weekend day.
My next goal is to make up my racing schedule for this year. Im obvi doing NY if I get in, which i should unless something horrible happens since i did the guaranteed entry thing. I'd really like to do 2 more but i havent gotten serious about figuring out which ones. Off to do some research now...
