Slackin again -on the blog

I've been working out just not posting anything. I've been lazy about adding up my mileage and everything. Sometimes I want to just train and not keep track of it. I hate having my running/lifting logs. I have no CrossFit Log as I simply want to use my races as a gauge for my training.

I've mainly been running on my Treadmill. I think it's been a convenience thing plus, I can train in the heat of my Garage. I like using the treadmill to help keep the legs turning over and it is nice to force yourself into a Tempo run at the push of a button. Plus, the kegerator is close by....for water that is.

Tonight I finally went to CrossFit after a week and a half. I simply cannot make it on time and have been just working out/running at home.

After CrossFit, I decided to do a Tabata Run. I love/hate these.

Try them. They are different, and are definitely not fun. At the same time, suck it up and do them sure beats a 5 mile tempo run.

Tabata: 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest, 8 Rounds - which is 4 minutes.

Turn your treadmill up as high as you can stand it, set a clock...and GO!

I have about 2 1/2 weeks left for Dances with Dirt. I am not looking forward to this at all. If I do decide to run the 50 miler, I think it will be used as a training run and not "raced". Those of you that know me, I am not a racer anyway, so...I guess they all are training runs.
