And We're Back

Last week was a bit of a mess due to a VACATION of a LIFE TIME.
I'm now not very happy with where I live.  I just want to quit everything and move to Maui, but then I'd be poor, fat and sad.  At least I can be finacially secure, fat and sad while in NYC.  hmph.

After returning from Maui, I did some illegal runs to put in some mileage and an attempt to lose some jiggles.  It worked, but now I have to keep it up.

And the training is ON.  Toronto will be here before I know it, and I want to be lighter and faster.

Monday (6/3):  7M on treadmill.  The heat wave from the last two days did not help with already jet lagged sleep.  I'm just sorely missing a solid, out-cold, kind of sleep.

Tuesday (6/4):  Faster Finish Week 1.  I'm now told that this series would be the last with Terry.  So sad...!  But we have 9 more happy weeks with him left!  Week 1 was the now golden standard, Lower Loop Progressive Run.  I SUCK at this.  I jump from 7:53 to 7:34 the second lap, making it near impossible to get any faster towrads the end.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/323112164

In between Tuesday and Wednesday, I have mini-personal crisis, where I hate everything about my life. It's almost a Three Days Grace song, but it's not "you" that I hate.  I blame it on midlife crisis and hormones.

Wednesday (6/5):  We finally have nice weather, which results in me not paying attention and I end up going down Harlem Hill instead of turning East on 102nd Drive.  I do an extra 1 Mile than scheduled, but it sure did feel good and much needed stress reliever. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/323688476

Thursday (6/6): It's an off day, but I manage to do a slow jog to go get my bib for the OAKLEY Mini 10K.  I feel like I have to say the "O" word now.  Amazing what a little PR can do...

Friday (6/7):  I get my period.  Yuck.  But I'm secretly proud of this shake up run.  1 min on, 2 min off, times 10 for a 30 min run.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/324340947  I mean, we're talking SUB SEVEN paces. 

Saturday (6/8):  OAKLEY Mini 10K.  Not much to report, but I go off tangent, losing some precious time.  Overall distance ends up being 6.33 (WTF) but pace is good at 7:22.  In fact this is really good pace for me.  Just need to learn to run faster or run the tangent... http://connect.garmin.com/activity/324835631

Sunday (6/9):  Easy 8miler.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/324835643

I'm now officially done with the FUN part of my training, according to coach.  "Fun's Over." he says.  I'm scared.
