#tempointervals

Today’s workout was powered by #supercoffee enhanced #nacraftbeer from @athleticbrewing. Pretty good stuff. Then it was time to get outside for 10-10-5-5 minute #tempointervals in some dismal weather conditions. Luckily I dressed well for the weather and was comfortable for the whole distance. 3 weeks until @cucb #cherryblossomtenmiler. I still have some work to do but the progress is there. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz #sauconyendorphinspeed (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptOSBGO_Uo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For the second month in a row I come home to Virginia and get that “we’re not in Arizona anymore” feeling. After 70° temps there, 28° here for tonight’s #goalpace workout. 9 miles with #tempointervals of 2 miles, then 4 x 1 miles. It was a big workout and the volume was a little intimidating, but I got it done and was proud of the effort in difficult conditions - not just the cold but also the Friday night road traffic. I lost count of how many times drivers would stick there carnose out into an intersection looking to turn, right in front of me as I was about to cross. And I had a headlamp! I guess they didn’t expect someone to be #puttinginwork on a Friday night instead of hanging out at a bar. Actually this was a #midweekworkout that I put off due to the business trip. That’s the #consultantlife though - supporting clients on government proposals as a solo business is intense, and the run miles get done when there is time to do them. But they still get done. #runblr #fitblr #workrunbalance #springracingseason #monumentave10k #cherryblossomtenmiler #winterrunning (at Fairfax, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82rrbEnVsV/?igshid=udtfw5b87j48

I got just a little wet on this afternoon’s run. I had decided to get it in after finishing up a coaching session with @steven_dong4 and just as we finished, the rains started pouring down. I threw on my @arcteryx cap and @baleafsportsofficial jacket and headed out anyway for 5 miles. At about 4 miles the rain completely stopped and it started getting very warm again. I was supposed to do a big #tempointervals workout today but after really poor sleep last night I decided to push that back a day. I still did drills after the run - #runningformdrills and #hurdlemobilitydrills. At that point I was already soaked so why not? #runblr #summerrunning #summertraining #nosuchthingasbadweather #keepshowingup (at Lake Barcroft, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkHlUEnEpG/?igshid=7sumz0dktu6g
