I feel like the weeks are whittling away into the year and it's getting closer and closer to time to train in the Florida summer - slow down 2013!
Join in the Roundup with Meghan, Genna, and I! Remember that you can LINKUP anytime this week, not necessarily today!
Week of 1/28/13
Monday/Wednesday: Crossfit - I'm thinking I'm really digging this crosstraining! I'm getting better with my 50 burpees (100 a week is a ton!) a class and also at my form little by little. I enjoy getting a quick, intense workout in that is challenging while it's also nice to go and cheer on my classmates!
Runs/Speedwork: My breathing feels AWESOME! I'm not totally worried about going faster, but feel that I naturally am. I'm not gasping and think that the regimen I'm on is finally kicking in so that I'm not feeling a tightness in my chest when I pick up the pace. I particularly felt this when I did speedwork Thursday and was about 7 seconds an 800 faster than usual. Hubs also says I'm sleeping much more sound. Take that Asthma!
We also had a BLAST yesterday at the WARRIOR DASH! Recap coming this week!
Today I had a lovely run on Davis Island with P-Funk and Meghan before we dived into breakfast, gotta love new routes and great company! (Meghan saw I was doing my long run today vs Saturday due to our race and offered to join, yay! P did her recovery with us after she also raced the Best Damn Race 10k with Meghan yesterday.)

DeleteI like you week - I'm trying to add my running now that recovery time is over and my knee is better -- still dealing with the hip, but time to start training for the Nike Half in DC. Can't wait to join your link up as soon as I get my post done :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, glad you can linkup!
DeleteI need shoes that are wide in my toe area.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get those shoes! And they are my favorite color!!! And they are my size!! Woot Woot! I think it was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteThe only thing I tried new this week was doing intervals during my 5k race. It was an interesting/different experience, but I would def. try it again!
ReplyDeleteI've grown to love intervals!
DeleteI can't wait to hear about the warrior dash - cute photo! And what a nice giveaway! Totally not my style or size (I'm a structured shoe girl to the max!) of shoe, but I know someone will be very very happy! :)
ReplyDeleteThe dash was messy but super fun!
DeleteI LOVE Brooks shoes! I trade off between Brooks and Mizuno :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great news on the CrossFitting and breathing fronts. :) Can't wait to read about the Warrior Dash!
ReplyDeleteIt's a dirty post, is that ok? ;)
DeleteGreat week of workouts and great giveaway girl! You're killing it! Can't wait for your Warrior Dash review ! :)
ReplyDeleteNice week of workouts sistah! Good work on the burpees - those are killer. I think you'll be surprised at how much the cross fit will help your running too!
ReplyDeleteLove the kicks! xo
ReplyDeleteSOOOO many burpees! We don't do them that much at all! I think it's been a couple weeks since I've done any honestly..
ReplyDeleteGimme!! I want, I want, I want!! Because I'm an over-pronator, my must have feature is stability...Then a wide toe box. Awesome week of workouts, Kat.
ReplyDeleteI am having problems finding a shoe for longer runs and would love to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteTheresa Williamson
A good fit and that they look pretty are some must haves for me :) For once I'm glad I wear a size 10 :)

ReplyDeleteMust have shoe feature is something that is cute yet comfortable, I know I know, that's cliche but it's true. I don't want ugly running shoes but since I run all the time they have to be comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win these for my sister. She is having her first baby next month and is eager to get back to running.
ReplyDeleteI like to have a shoe with maximum cushioning with the least amount of weight. Looks don't matter, I would rather have an uglier shoe so that I only wear it for running. This is awesome, I am a size 10!!!
ReplyDeleteI had Brooks before - right now I run in NB and/or Reeboks. But I miss the minimalist fit. I actually had these in that light blue color - that was all that Dicks Sporting Goods had. I would love a different color this time round!
ReplyDeleteMy must have is extra room in the front of my running shoes. I usually go up a size. :-) Runner up must have would be a pop of color!
ReplyDeleteI must have a low heel to toe drop in my shoes.
ReplyDeleteThey must be comfortable.i usually run in asics would love to try these
ReplyDeleteComfort is number one. Prettiness is number two.
