Bad A** reputation.
My husband and I are doing the Goofy in 2013. We (or really I) decided that we should do the Galloway method. When we did the marathon in 2011, I had only gotten up to 15 miles in training and we made a game day decision to try and stay with the 5:30 pace group that did run 5 min, walk 1 min. That worked pretty well for us until we lost them at a restroom stop and never caught up again. I think that if we train that way maybe we could do better but hubbie would rather just do the runs like we have been until we get to the higher miles. We have had a little clashing of the minds over this and for now he is winning! Hopefully this coming weekend when we start doing longer runs as per the plan I can get him to take some walk breaks! We can run 10 miles all the way through with just short breaks for water but it is tough to be committed to a specified walk break.
Snuck in an hour of pilates/yoga tonight. Love it when hubby is home during the week and I can get to the late gym classes.
This morning I ran our town's 5-mile 4th of July race...I didn't know it existed until last year when I was out with the dog and the runners were going right by my house.
It wasn't all bad though...highlights included a sweet family that set up their own water stop between mile 3 and 3.5, people that were in their yards spraying us with hoses, and popsicles at the finish line. I'm sure I'll run the race again next year.
Happy 4th, all!
Yesterday we took a ferry to Fire Island and we all took a LONG walk along the beach and around the town. It was definitely several miles. Does that count as cross-training?
