so today, on the spring training schedule, interval training started. one word - UGH. wow. that was H.A.R.D. stuff. i ran 3 miles at a decent pace to the local high school track. i ran straight to the track and did 8x200's. the first one was fun. the second one, i felt done. the added killer ingredient was running against the wind and 5 o'clock sun when i had to sprint. i know i know, i'm SO whining. i said to my man, how in the world am i ever going to get up to what the schedule says by week 10, 11 and 12? i can't let my mind go there right now. the good part about this run, is i could feel the burning - in my quads, booty and lungs. that can only be a good thing.
the best part about today, is that my new shoes came. yeah!!! i wore them for my 5 mile run today and i felt like i was running on a cloud again. it was fun to compare them to my other ones, and i how i truly ran them down. good stuff. (yes, that's salty sweat on my shins - love a good sweat!) i'm keeping an eye on my 2nd toenail on my left foot. i think it may fall off. it's been really hurting the past few days and now it's turning purple. grrr....

Yeah! I love getting new shoes (the only part I don't like is that they seem so WHITE at first!) :) Great pic of your shoes!
Yea for you Kate you got it done! Sounds like you are rockin those intervals! Yea for new shoes, boo for purple toenails! Don't ya just love sweating!
You're so cute. I love you!
I think I may lose the same toenail - thanks to Big Sur. Oh well, they grow back!
You're smart not to worry about what you'll need to run in a few weeks. Sounds like you had a good, hard run!
thanks you all!!! you're sooo encouraging!
tina, do you think the purple toenails are from hills? with all these hill repeats (and i have not run downhills until the past 6 weeks) makes me wonder if that is a contributor?
