Fast Girl

Today was a complete indoor day and it's not because I'm a total cold wimp. I had my daughter Elena this morning. We first took her to cooking class and it started to snow. Not bad considering its only the first of December. Elena was quite excited but I'm sure she'll just get used to snow once we move to DC. After Elena finished making her PBJ scones which were quite tasty, I went over to 24 hour fitness. It was just before 10:30am. I was in shock as the place was totally packed. Almost every treadmill, stair stepper, and elliptical was going. I have never seen it this crowded.

I was thinking about totally baggin the swim this morning but with it super packed I figured I'd check the pool and see if it was crowded. There were only 2 lanes out of the 3 being used. Okay so I'm getting into the pool. My arms are completely dead after the Thursday's hard 200 yard intervals and yesterday's 4x400 yard intervals. I decided to focus on stroke and just cruise til at least 800 yards.

I finished the swim and went out to hit a treadmill for an hour. I felt nice and relaxed on the treadmill at my 1% incline with 7:30 pace. I decided to up the last mile to 7 minute pace. It felt good and I'm excited about that as a nice goal pace for the IM marathon. I got off the treadmill and walked over to the "special" spray that is suppose to kill sweat germs on site. I notice a nice looking blonde girl clipping along on a treadmill. I stole a closer look and she was doing 7 minute pace and was into her run about 13 minutes. I was impressed. This is the fastest girl I've seen on a treadmill in a long time. She looked like it was a piece of cake. Nice!!
