Keep on Keepin’ On

2012 has been a ‘win’ thus far.  I feel really strong and my workouts have been awesome.  Of course…we are only 10 days into 2012 but you gotta stick to the positives right?

Sunday’s long run was a blast.  It was 18km..the longest one in almost 2 months so it is easy to let it psych you out a bit.  It was chilly but sun filled so there are no complaints from me.  Since the Around the Bay race is quickly coming up, there was a zillion runners out pounding the route.  Not going to lie..I love seeing so many people out running, walking etc.  I don’t care how fast or ‘deliberate’ you go, just GO.  This so called winter we are having is a win in my books as well. Some cold temps, a small amount of snow that is all gone and more sun that I remember in awhile.

Today I am in our office that is an hr+ commute for me in meetings from 9am-4pm…which enough break to shovel some food in my gob.  Tuesday’s are usually a double workout day of circuit training and a speed work run.  I knew that getting a run in post crazy work day might be a challenge..so I just sucked it up and worked out for 95min starting at 4:30 this morning.  Early? Yes but it was awesome.  How can you not like having a facility like this all to yourself for a good part of your workout?

Now I just need to stay awake for my meetings and drive home. 

COFFEE please!

Most excellent you're off to a strong start! Sounds like you have a very full day--way to kick it off to early with a workout!

Nice start to the year for you! I'm also blasting off with a bang. No long runs for me yet but will start them soon.

I have a feeling this is going to be a great year of running for you :)

Nice start to a great year and long day!

We've had very little snow here too- but I'm not complaining:)

As much as I don't get all worked up about New Year's Eve, I like the fresh start that a new year seems to bring. Good for you for getting your workout in early. 4:30 - Ouch!

Killer start to your day! I can't seem to get up in the mornings at all lately... hopefully I can change that soon. Good work all around!

I like seeing a lot of people out working out but rarely see it! That is one thing I enjoyed when I went to Lake Placid Ironman with Emily. EVERYONE was working out.

Woohoo, let's hope the trend continues and 2012 is an awesome year for you!
