Speed Tuesdays! Yay!

This morning was Speed Tuesday.  I am still pretty sore from my long run Sunday and my upper body is pretty sore from my workout yesterday.  I did the Upper Body portion of the workouts on Meghann's site.  It was intense!  Okay on to today's workout: 9X400 with 400 rest.  But I decided I might as well do 10!

The rest was spent walk/jogging, writing down my stats and drinking water. 

I felt okay on this run.  Not easy, not impossible.  The last 400 I ran at 10.0 (6min pace) and I could feel my tummy starting to cramp up but as soon as I stopped I felt fine. Plus, I weighed myself when I got into work and I'm down another pound!  Our Biggest Loser competition ends on April 1st and I want to lose about 3 more pounds to be around my goal weight.  My goal was really to get back in shape and I think I've done that. Speaking of that, I signed up for this race this weekend! A 20 Mile Race that starts in Kittery Maine and ends in Salisbury, MA!  This is also my first 20 miler so I'm excited to see how I feel as I get into the core of my training.  After this race, I have an 18 miler planned next weekend and another 20 planned April 10th.
