View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
Oh man I am feeling so much better. Its amazing what 24 hours away from an emotionally draining situation can do for your psyche. I slept pretty damn good. Ive easily consumed my gallon of water. My food intake has been healthy. I had a great session with Superman this morning. Hard to believe but it was better than Monday. He is pushing so hard and I am surviving. We talked a lot about how hard this is for me and how appreciative I am that he is a no-nonsense kind of trainer. I told him that I pushed that damn tractor tire by myself yesterday and as a reward he made me push the next biggest one.
Pure Awesomeness!
My mile run today was even faster than Monday: 12:02! I kept the speed at 6.0 mph for a little longer today. I cant believe how fast I feel like Im running. When I started running on the treadmill regularly 4.0 mph was a difficult pace to keep. Im fluctuating between 4.7 5.0 mph as a regular speed now for the mile runs. Its not a speed I could do for longer durations but 12 minutes non-stop is alright in my book.
17 days until my first 5k.

Your doing great girl!! I'm still calling you speedracer in my head there girl! Those intervals are really going to get you running faster and faster.
Glad that things are looking up for you today and you have a better outlook. We like to see you happy too!

Congrats on the pace! It will move so fast now, just watch
:) And now you know why speed training works! If you can do sprints, they work amazing things for your body too - like on BL where they pump it up to 6.5 or 7.0 for 30 seconds or a minute, then back down to your normal level. You may want to die after 10 minutes though.
