Week 2 is off to a good start. Motivation is definitely present. My lsd run on Sunday was a bit challenging and I'm definitely looking forward to be part of a group again but recovery spin class last night was totally enjoyable. I'm not overly keen on intervals and was finding them challenging as I'd be dying in the next workout (speed) but decided a while ago to finally embrace them and make them my friend.
Boy what a difference in results when you decide to go with the flow instead of groaning that you hate something? The frame of mind is totally different and the results are simply awesome. I'm not using uber resistance but just enough to make it challenging. And I pace myself. And I reap the rewards, big time.
So when the next workout comes along, I can do my last race at top pace to the end instead of dying on that bike. What a rush...
Tonight is my last time running with the Rats until after the marathon in September. I need 4 runs to be considered a Rat therefore being invited to the socials, etc... I like the group and there is definitely some amazing runners there. Plus it gives me more opportunities to socialize, because that's what running is all about... socialize!
Tomorrow is 10k tempo. I'll have to set up the program on my watch and will do it from work. I cannot go home, change and go out again, especially if it's hot/humid like it will be tonight. This will most certainly keep me home. If I bring my stuff to work, the motivation to do it is still there at 5 pm :)
