Worcester Half Marathon: Year 2

I plan to win. NBD.

...that was a joke.

9:42 PM. Decision made.

9:41 PM, Brenna: i think i'm going to try and marathon it this year. thoughts?

9:42 PM, Sister: um?? marathon?? sounds like death to me!

Challenge accepted, dear sister.

Interesting Brenna tidbit of the day:

I shovel lefty, but I am a righty.

What up, ripped left arm?

And on this afternoon's agenda...

Bee-are-bee.

Look at my clavicle! What do you mean, you can't see it?

Plans have changed a bit. I realized that tomorrow the school's fitness center will be closed (they're changing out all of the aerobic equipment for new machines, wee!), so I've got no workout plans. In lieu of this catastrophic news, I decided to forgo shoveling today so I'll have something to do tomorrow, and instead decided to kill it on the treadmill.

I ran two miles at 21:30, did a hill workout on a stationary bike for 12 minutes, and then did 16:30 minutes of interval work back on the old treadmill (one mile of intervals, .4 mile recovery). Intervals were separated by 1:00 @ 4.0, and went as follows: 2:45 @ 5.5, 1:00 @ 6.0, 1:00 @ 6.2, 1:00 @ 6.4, 1:00 @ 6.2, 1:00 @ 6.00, 2:45 @ 5.5. So today was a 3 mile day. Not too shabby. I haven't run that far since the Turkey Trot I did with my sister on Thanksgiving, so I'll take it as a win, even if it has to come in parts. A mile is a mile is a mile.

This is me post-shower:

Ignore the goofy face and peace sign, and look at the index finger pointing to the imaginary clavicle. I've always wanted a clavicle. That would be a nice spot for one. Okay, I know I have one, I just want to be able to see it. I'm touching it in this photo, but you really can't tell. Add that to the list of goals. Goal-related post coming soon.

Plan for the day

1. Get in a few hours at work.
2. Run my little heart out.
3. Shovel out roommate's car so she won't have to do it when she gets back from break.
4. Shower. I smell even before working out.
5. Work on thesis drafts that are due tomorrow (a clear priority...)

In other news, my arms kill from yesterday's 3 hour shoveling debacle. Love it.
