A few of us from my work and gym were supposed to race up our big, scary 1.5 mile long hill today, but they all ended up bailing out. I think they were afraid!! ;-) So, instead, I started out this great day with a 1.5 hr long leg workout--squats, thrusters, lunges with leaps from a step, a combo step up/lunge back thing, frontal plane kicks, frontal plane ballet lifts, clean and jerk, one-leg squats with a side kick, split squats, bridge, and a bunch of other crazy fun things. Then I ran 7 miles. I started out with a nice, easy pace, as I've been doing lately. But then I decided that even though I'm not training, I should at least do some fartlek intervals. That was really fun, although of course, it was very challenging. I was really spent, but in a good way, by the time I was done running and working out this AM. Splits: 9:03, 8:00, 8:35, 8:47, 8:17, 8:34, 7:33
