The training plan for today is to either run 2 miles or cross train. Since it was a little cooler in the morning, I decided to go for the 2 mile run. I completed the run with an average pace of 10:15. I thought I would focus on trying to increase my pace on the 2 mile day. Speed work shows up on the intermediate training plan, but since I have only been running since March I don't quite have the experience with running to move up to the intermediate plan. I am following a beginner plan, but I plan to increase the distance on the long run day and do the 2 mile run over the cross training on Thursdays. We shall see how it goes.
Tomorrow is "rest day". Yippee! I'm going shopping with my mom and sister. Should be a fun day. I will do a long run on either Saturday or Sunday each weekend and some form of cross training on the other weekend day. One week from tomorrow and I will turn the big 40! Ugh. Actually, it's not so bad. I think I'm in better shape than at anytime in my 30's. Ran early in the morning then worked in my classroom all day. Now it is time to relax.
