What a Rush!

Day 110

My husband is making fun of me for running til I hurled. I explained that they puke on Biggest Loser all the time. But, he's unphased by my stupidity. Whatev.. I'm proud of my new personal best (a 14:18 minute mile) and if tossing my cookies was part of tonight's bargain, I can live with that.

Interval training will get your attention for sure. I thoroughly enjoy pushing myself just a little harder each interval until I hit that high point. For instance, tonight's intervals went like this:

Interval 1:  3.5 mph, 3.5 mph, 4.2 mph, 4.5 mph, 5.0 mph
Interval 2: 3.5 mph, 3.5 mph, 4.5 mph, 5.0 mph, 5.2 mph
Interval 3: 3.5 mph, 4.5 mph, 5.0 mph, 5.5 mph, 5.8 mph

Each peak gets a little bit higher. It's intense. But, it's worth it. I feel so much better tonight than I did yesterday. It must be the endorphins clearing out the cobwebs in my brain. :)

Please excuse me while I go bask in the glow of my glory....

Cheers!
