Negative Split Runs

Hola! I am feeling gooooooooooooood! I went for two runs today - first time running in 3 weeks! When I was in Guatemala, I didn't run unfortunately. The first week of class left me not in the mood to run. Until today. I told myself no more excuses and hiked my butt over to the gym (it's a 3 minute walk at max). As always, the treadmills were taken and the track was packed!!

So my first run was a relaxed one to get me back in the swing of things. It felt good to just back on the track where I belong! My second run was intense. I told myself I has going to do a power mile. For instance, my normal pace is around 7:27 minutes per mile for runs under 4 miles. So for a power mile, I try to run a mile 30 seconds faster than my pace. And I did just that :)  I also ran each lap with negative splits (each lap faster than the previous). The adrenaline rush is identical to beating Amy Thielke that one race. It felt so good!!

Here a few motivational quotes to keep you on your feet and feeling healthy!

Beat that.

I'll choose the sore.

Come on. Challenge me.

Where's yours?

I'll choose to push through.

Will that day ever be today?

Yay for running!

HAHA! This is true! Sorry for kicking ass :)

Losing? No thank you!

Can't catch me? Good!

Who likes liars anyways?

My all time favorite!
