Four for Friday..the running, running edition

1.  I have been doing a different kind of speed work the last couple of weeks – 30 second all out bursts with 1 min rest.  It’s fun though I totally feel like I am Phoebe-running.  Tuesday I have a mini-victory where one of the repeats was 3:59/km. Never thought I would see a “3” on my Garmin as far as pace goes …ever….

2.  Last night was round #2 of hill repeats.  We busted out 4 repeats and once again…it was awesome. I am hoping to eat the hills up during the Around the Bay race in March.

3.  Another fun addition to last night’s hill repeats were these puppies: 

Knuckle Lights Chrome Light up your run

Knuckle Lights...way better than having a headlamp on for me.  They are seriously bright.  Another friend has these so you can bet we were doing some Jazz Hands when we passed each other.  We be cool like that.

Funny Encouragement Ecard: It's not enough to speak. You must also use jazz hands. - Shakespeare.

4.  This morning’s run came complete with soaking wet feet from the tons of puddles and a facial from the ice pellets that appeared during the last 3km of the run.  Of course now, it isn’t raining, ice pelletting and no wind.  Figures.

Happy weekend all!  I am ready for it…

i've never seen those knuckle lights, but they seem good also for keeping yourself visible since your hands are moving when you run. very cool find!

The knuckle lights look cool - but do you have to keep your arms still to see where you are going:)?
