#poolrunning

Finisher pics from #rocknrollarizona2020 are ready. I’ll have to go through all 30 or so of them and see which shots are truly #instagramworthy. Stay tuned for that. Meanwhile today, it was back to training. I logged 77 minutes of #poolrunning time, including 12 x 3 minute intervals at a hard effort. Thanks to @elizabethclor for the inspiration to try this. I have to say it not only was challenging, but spiced up what frankly can be an exceedingly boring form of #crosstraining. Oftentimes people only do this when injured. I’m not, but still I’m determined to keep it as a part of my regimen through the winter and spring months; I go to the pool once a week and alternate a pool run with a swim workout. So next week I’ll be swimming. It takes a long time to get distance while pool running - all that work today yielded just 2200 yards. Glad my mile pace on land is faster than that! Back outside to run #hillrepeats tomorrow. #runblr #fitblr #10ktraining #swimblr #monumentave10k #cherryblossomtenmiler #mcmillanrunteam #masterstrackathlete (at Fairfax, Virginia)

Sunday afternoon pool time! @breakfastofmarathons26.2 and @manda_k_runs did some aqua jogging (living that #injuredrunner life) while I goofed around in the water like a 6 year old! . . I fully intend to enjoy my two weeks of recovery until MCM and my next mini training cycle begins!! . . #marathonrecovery #inspiringrunners #runningmotivation #runwalkrun #teamintraining #swim #poolrunning #aquajogging (at Reston Community Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7WVvPlw75/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oayhk8svtecb

Rundown on @strava totals for my #yearinsport. No PRs, this year, it was very much a transitional year. But I had some decent races along the way that provide encouragement for next year. This was one of my lowest total running mileage years as I pivoted away from #marathontraining to shorter distances. In place of those missing miles, I upped my #cycling, started #swimming and #poolrunning again, and picked up #indoorrowing. I also rededicated myself to #strengthtraining and need to continue with that. The 2019 total shown omits some “miles” that were logged on the spin bike or in the pool while #aquajogging. Can’t capture everything I guess. In any case, my days of running 1800-2000 miles a year are in the past for sure, but I see no reason why I can’t log a combined #2020in2020. Gotta have #fitnessgoals and #racinggoals. Meanwhile , training for #springracingseason starts in earnest on January 7. #runblr #fitblr #mastersrunner #2020runninggoals #runningoffseason #2019runningwrapup #marathonretiree #bikeblr #swimblr #crosstraining #crosstrainingforrunners #mcmillanrunning #mcmillanrunteam https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tWzIznhzK/?igshid=6wqsdnuiigqo

More new shoes! These aren't for running, though the @hokaoneone Hupana are perfectly capable of doing so. As a perk of working for @lifetime.run I got to pick out a free pair of Hokas. But since I'm well stocked on running shoes right now, I went for these black slip-ons as an everyday work shoe pair. Right out of the box they are amazingly comfortable. And no one will even notice the black shoes I'm wearing to work are actually "sneakers." 😂 In training news, it was a pool day today - 20 minute #aquajog, 10 minutes #lapswimming, 10 minute aquajog cooldown. #runblr #fitblr #lifetimerun #lifetimefairfax #ltemployee #crosstraining #swimblr #aquajogging #poolrunning #offseasonworkouts https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmHYRVhI1H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1prpc5qyvzjpv

52 minutes of pool running today. And the only time it feels like this is when the high school swim teams show up for practice, start lining up on the deck ready to dive in, and you're just trying to get those last few minutes of your workout in. Am I right?

I bought myself #schrunchies 💙 #cscs #changemaker #poolrunner #poolrunning (at Westwood, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgjNgFpyDq/?igshid=i59io9onu24p

I'm back to my pool running and studying 💙☀️ I finally feel normal again. #poolrunning #poolrunner #runner #study #precisionnutrition #coach https://www.instagram.com/p/CBPIY1GFG9T/?igshid=3ljt0brqzn1y
