and today ...

is a new day...wednesday mornings are usually core/strength class at the PTC but due to my little bit of a breakdown i decided to skip it...and get some much needed sleep time...j was taking the day off so he didn't need to be up early either...and so we and the cats slept until get this...8.30am...totally unheard of! and man was it great...woke up feeling like i got some good sleep in there...yeah...i even had two cups of coffee...

did some stuff around the house...and some reading...then j took me out to lunch at this little indian place off of riverside...it, as it was the other time we went, was awesome...i love those hole in the wall places...where the food is just amazing...and you would never guess...home again...and j was off to work on some freelance stuff...and i read some more...prepped gumbo and threw it in the crock pot so it would be ready after track practice...

got to track about 40 minutes early...because i needed to get in 2 miles...to the rock and back...before practice started...it was hot!...but the running actually felt ok...i was not optimistic about what was going to happen but i was in good spirits...and i think that is a big part of it...back to the track...for a warm up, drills, strides...then a timed mile...7.06 :)...then 6x400's with a partner...it was me and erin...my repeats hit around 1.45 finishing with a 1.42...ok...that was ok with me...then a timed 800 at 3.39...i was ok with that...cooled down jogging two laps going backwards on the straights...

all in all a much better day than yesterday...not at 100% but waaayyyy better...so that was good...home to a yummy gumbo and biscuits that turned out really well...and an episode of the wire...

Um gumbo? You have a recipe that is good in the crockpot, If so will you email it to me?

Your training is going well, you are tired often it sounds like, I remember those days. You're doing just fine lady.

Rock on
