I have to admit it not being very excited to do my 800 intervals yesterday. All the roads were snowpacked, which of course means not very good traction which is not fun for speed work. I considered skipping it, but I was feeling pretty good after a three mile warm up.
The sun was out and it was a balmy 32 degrees. I was feeling really energetic. I decided to give it a go. The first two averaged 3:45, and the last two were closer to 3:30. Not bad for crappy traction. There were a few spots I would get good traction and I felt so much faster.
I can live with that. I felt great. I have to admit, I feel really good on this Primal diet. I think my body is getting adjusted to the no grains. I have been feeling really energetic the last couple of days.
Winter wonderland pictures from my run yesterday.
Clearly after running in so much snow yesterday morning, I had warmer weather on my mind. I took my daughter to town to run some errands and I ended up with a halter top for $7 way marked down at the Boot Barn and a short sleeve workout shirt from Costco.
Since it is a balmy 22 degrees out right now, I doubt I will be wearing either one of those anywhere today.
Time to logout and go RUN!
I LOVE Costco's workout gear - so cute and so affordable.
ReplyDelete22 sounds so cold!
goodness just looking at your pictures makes me cold!!! love the new shirts though!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the workout! I always like to look at pictures of snow because it is pretty. I just don't like to be out in it. Love the halter top! The color looks great on you. Doesn't Costco have the best workout gear? I am always bummed when there are no size smalls left. I hardly ever find anything, but when I do I usually stock up!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the speedwork in the snow!! I'm impressed. I ran today and the roads were so icy, I felt so speedy when I'd hit parts of the road that had been salted. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteNice work on getting that interval training done in snow. Love the tops to.
ReplyDeleteNice speed in the snow!! Those tops are always great for layers this time of year though :) Great finds!
ReplyDeleteCute top! It's actually 60 degrees right now here in Chicago, so summer is on my mind today...tomorrow will be a different story I'm sure. Can't even wrap my mind around intervals right now! Nice job in that snow, it'll make it that much easier when the footing is clear.
ReplyDeleteI love that green top, it's such a great color and fit on you!
ReplyDeleteLove that green shirt! Super cute and goes great with your skin and hair!

I gave up grains a few weeks ago at the advice of someone who is much more diet savvy than myself and I feel better. So much that I really notice that I don't have that "crash" feeling like I use to.
ReplyDeleteGreen top wins!
Cute shirts!!! Love the winter wonderland. Here it's been this weird mix of cold winds and rain then the clouds go away as soon as it's cold enough to snow....
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your running pictures. It's so fun to see where other people run and yours are always interesting! Cute tops, hope you get to break them out sooner than you think!
ReplyDeleteIt is 70 here in Arkansas today. We are going to get a storm and it is going to drop down to the 50s. :)
ReplyDeleteCute warmer-weather clothes you got there.
You look so cute! I bought that same shirt at Costco in blue and pink! Can't wait to wear it:) Way to go on the speedwork in the snow. Have you ever ran in yaktrax? I wonder if that would help with traction?
ReplyDeleteAh those shirts are so cute and I sure LOVE the colors! nice going on your intervals in the snow and glad to hear you are doing well with your new food plan. I am not missing the grains at all either.
ReplyDeleteCute tops! I get the best workout tanks and tops from Costco. I hope we got those in at our Costco!
ReplyDeleteOh and LOVE the pics and the fact you hammered out 800's in the SNOW. You're an animal!
ReplyDeleteGreat run in the snow! That's crazy fast especially with crazy traction. I love your new tops. Makes me excited for summer!
ReplyDeletei had to admit, i would be so scared to try to do intervals in snow--- i'm not the most graceful. I've seen in a few magazines there are spikes you can attach to running shoes if you live in snowy conditions,kind of interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! Speedwork in the snow is no easy task! I love the shirts. I really need to start checking out the clothes at Costco.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those tops look fabulous!
