Breaking the Routine

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

So, over the past couple of weeks, I've only managed to run about 2 times. Lame, I know. Until this week I was experiencing lack of motivation, and I just discovered the reason: boredom. I've been running basically the same route outside or on the treadmill and I haven't really been mixing it up much with speed intervals, cross training, or strength training. So, I'ma try to stop the monotony.

Yesterday: Distance: 3.25 mi. (run/walk; treadmill - some hill repeats and hill sprints).

Today: I did a stretch, strength and speed interval session that I got from this month's Women's Running. It was pretty challenging and I think I'll work it into my weekly routine for a while.

I'd write more, but I'm sick and tired and should probably go to bed. Here's the getting back on the bandwagon.

P.S. I got new Brooks Adrenalines today that I'll start running in soon, and I'm pretty excited.
