I have to say...my energy has been over the top for the past few weeks...healthy eating, brisk weather, and new relationship - all a very good combo. I highly recommend it, but it makes it very hard to keep on a slow training plan. Woke up, put on my sneakers (with socks this time), turned up the music and...walked on the treadmill. Sigh...
Same routine: Quarter mile walk; quarter mile run; mile walk. I picked up the pace on the last walk, but not too much, because I want to avoid striking too hard on my heels.
On a high energy day, knowing full well this is not an actual "work out" it was so hard to restrict my run to the quarter mile...we're talking just a couple of minutes! Ridiculous! In fact I'm going to stop calling these workouts, I'm going to call this phase "Conditioning" and see if that helps. I really want to get back to this...

This shows not just the feeling, but the mechanics of a good run. Check out the woman's upright posture. She's coming down on her mid-foot and is wearing a much better looking version of the Brooks Pure Connect shoe. Is it possible to envy a picture? I definitely do right now, but taking it slow seems to be my mantra these days, and I'll do my best to stick to it. Wish me luck!
