Competition day

As part of the March Challenge ( FB Thing ) its competition day.  Merlin and I are against 2 others basically competing for points running long.   If successful we move on to the next bracket.     Run 1 was done today 6 km on the treadmill on my meal break.   After work in the spirit of the competition I will log a second run. 

Lunch Run

Its Monday , back to work on days logging a 5 km run on my meal break today .

Days off and the weekend

Lifted Thursday lunch ,  Skied Thursday Eve ,  took Friday and Sunday off as rest days and logged a 30 km run at the Y on Saturday. 

More speed Wed.

Did the usual 5 km run but ramped it up to a 5:00 pace for a couple of Ks. 

Tuesday Lunch

5K the usual way this morning on my meal break.   

Speed Monday

I have to admit the treadmill runs are somewhat boring,  mundane routine yawn type stuff.   On the flip side the treadmill runs are what keep me in the game.    Going to work is not only a way to earn an income its also a fitness opportunity ... hurry for the onsite gym!   So that being said it was another 5 km run but this time I threw in 800 m at a 5:00 pace at the 3.5 km mark.    It was nice to run faster ,  a year ago I was doing regular " Heart Runs" which was basically a speed workout once or twice a week.  This also helped to break the routine nature of the treadmill so that being said its time to mix it up a bit.  Soon ,  very soon I hope the long ones will be outside vs the track! 

Its March

10 km on the treadmill on my meal break today,  great way to start off the month!
