Updates...

Thursday was an 80 minute run followed by some weight work.
Friday was my day off!
Saturday morning I ran a speedy 8.5 miles in 70 minutes on the treadmill - fast because I wanted it to end before hell froze over!! I logged another fairly speedy 5k in 20 minutes, 6 hours after the first run. 20 minutes of weight work!

I averaged 8 minute consistent miles on my run at 4.30 this am. Never again am I running on this morning's road again - there was not a single light on and my natural clumsy oaf-ness was way too tempted to rear itself. I should remember that I am a girl...in a bandana...in India. Enough said!

Anyway, a 69 minute 8 miles that left me very happy. I put in obligatory gym time as well. I dont even know if the weights do any good since I take NO breaks and fidget so much; dying to leave!

How life changes - I think its "cool" here these days at 35 degrees. Singapore seems like winter in comparison to this!

Log!

Forever running away....even when its towards something....

Yesterday was an unexpectedly awesome 450 stair repeats, 25 minutes of weights. This morning was a second strong workout in a row - 10 miles in an hour and 29 minutes to the dot. I am strapping on my garmin tomorrow am and will have my mile splits - I dread this since its been so long since I have been logging my runs in this way. I get so carried away with numbers that my obsessive nature takes over; sucking the fun out of what is essentially playing.

Anyway, those in India - enjoy the sporadic rain. If I can get my butt out in this strange city every morning, anyone can. Get out there and run already! (my favorite motivator!!)

So! 2 strong runs since my last post...9 miles and 7 miles respectively. And they both left me happy and completely tired. Today is my day off! And I have earned it :-)
