Easy Being Greene

4.18.12

After a crappy day of teaching, I was ready to run… until hubs called to say he was on his way home. It was 4, and I was still doing some cleaning. I just wanted to go home and run, but not really, but I was going to tell myself this so I would actually run.  (I have a “rest day” tomorrow (really, I’m running with a friend) and I like to play the swapsies game ALL THE TIME to talk myself out of running.)

40 min tempo run

Just 40 minutes right? My goal was 5 miles, since, you know, tempo is fast.  Around mile 2, I got lady cramps. SUCK! I stopped (and stopped my timer. stopping is not tempo) dealt with the pain and thought about just taking a shortcut home. BUT I DIDN’T FTW!

Finished 5.2 miles in 40 minutes. 7:41 pace.

Did the whole dinner thing and watched some meme videos. Finally made mine. Then I said I was going to strength exercises, and I did. 

3x

• 15 lunges each leg
• 15 dips
• 15 hypers
• 45 seconds of swimmers (sucked!)

Now I have to secretly make a tres leches cake… maybe I’ll wait until the wee hours of tomorrow morning when I’ll also be doing my lesson planning. We’ll see.
