Tennis Anyone?
Monday- Alright... lets get this thing started! So today I started off
doing a 2.5 mile warm up, had timed runs where the hard intervals were
6 min, 5 min, 4 min, 3 min....all with 2 minutes jog recovery. After
takin a breath once I was finished, I did a 1.3 mile cool down. I felt
pretty good most of the run. My shins and knees were actin up so I made
sure that I ice cupped my shins when I got home. And I'll definitely be
getting back on my glucosamine for my knees... dang genetics haha.
Well... first day went pretty good! Can't wait to get to the rest of
it....
Mileage: 7.3 miles
Tuesday - So just about the end of classes yesterday I
started feeling kind of icky, so I decided to go kind of easy today.
Just did 40 minute run. I was supposed to do some 200's but didn't
wanna push my body too much when I think I might be coming down with a
cold. We'll see how I feel tomorrow!
Mileage: 5 miles
Wednesday - Yeah... so it's official... I'm sick. Teaching
today was just terrible. All I wanna do when I get sick is lay in bed
and stay knocked out. But instead I was in charge of 70+ kiddies. I
made it through though, so at least there's that. I'm completely dead
right now though, so I'm going to use today as my day off... and
hopefully can be back and ready to run by tomorrow... that's not too
much to ask is it?
Sunday - Ok... so I pretty much stayed sick the rest of the week... but
now I think I'm pretty much recovered so I'm going to rewind and start
my training block ALL over again this monday. Hopefully this time I'll
stay healthy!
So some things that happened this week that I think are fun haha. On
Friday it was my roommates birthday, so we went to Atlanta. First we
went to the aquarium because she looooves the fishies. It was soo much
fun though because on Fridays during September they have a live jazz
band. So we had bomb music to listen and dance too while lookin at all
the fishies and animals. After that we went to Atlantic Station for
dinner. We had planned to go to this sushi place, but when we got there
it was a super long wait AND the sushi was slightly pricey. So we ended
up at California Pizza Kitchen... looove their pizzas. My roomie had
heard of this place where they played live music and it was kinda
chill... so after getting lost only once we found our way there. And
let me just say that the way we had to pay for parking was SO bootleg!
They had this thing with all the parking spot numbers, and above the
slots there was a slit. You had to pay your three dollars by folding up
your dollars, one by one, and stuffing them into the slot using the
"pusher" (which hung from a cord)... I had no words. The place we went
to was called Apache Cafe
and they were having an unsigned artist spotlight type thing. It was
sooo awesome. It was the kind of place that you could dance too and not
have to worry about people pushin up on you or harassing you, and there
was almost no smoke. We had planned to leave around midnight (cuz we
had an hour and a half drive home). But we got guilt tripped into
stayin for the final act... which was all they hyped themselves up to
be. Right now I'm totally addicted to their song "Alter Ego".... which
also happens to be the name of their group. Check out their myspace page if ya want.
Then today (Sunday) I had to speak in front of our church... i was so
nervous, but it went pretty good. Then later we went and played some
tennis with the boys, soo much fun. I'm glad we're playin that again. Its sooo much fun!

How is teaching?
How is school? Are you finding a decent balance with teaching and running? I left teaching to run and just wondering how other runner-teachers are doing.
