new GU 4 me!

yesterday was a cross-training day.  did some speed walking with my man for 3 miles and had fun. today i ran a 4 mile fartlek run.  i don't know what's going on, but i sure like it!  i walked for a minute before starting to run.  i finished the first mile in 9:30 (counting the min. of warm up walking).  the second mile was a few seconds over 9:00!  i was p.s.y.c.h.e.d!  the third mile was 9:30 (even with 45 sec. of walking to bring my heart rate down) and the last mile was 10:00.  ran my hilly route again.  so i can't wait to see how my timing will be on a flat route.  adding weights, fartlek and tempo runs, and hill repeats are really starting to work.  it was soooo humid.  i really do think spring is over now!

so this may be majorly cheesy, but i'm really excited about getting a dozen GU's tonight.  i went to an REI store and found jet blackberry there!  i cannot wait to try it (been wanting to since when i found out in early jan. about the new flavor!)  it's those little things, i tell ya....
