I've been loving doing whatever workout I feel like doing. Monday was fartleks with Thomas. Tuesday was level 3 of Jillian's 30 Day Shred, today was 5k with about 1.5 mile of it uphill. I read in my new Runner's World that once you have been running for awhile, in order to increase speed I need to speed up at the end of my runs. So the last mile I really tried to pick the pace up. Overall I averaged like a 9:15 pace. Yikes, I need to be going like a minute faster than that. But I'll give myself credit, half of it was uphill.
School starts tomorrow!! AHHH!! I already recieved an e-mail from one of my professors with an assignment for the first day. It took me two hours! That stressed me out a little bit. I'm afraid I'm not going to be juggle everything school, working out, work, making dinner, keeping the apartment clean, etc. But the good thing is that I really think I'll enjoy the classes I'll be taking. They are mostly practicum classes which means I'll be doing lots of lessons and even get a chance to be in a classroom doing reading interventions in a local elementary school. And I'm starting my application for student teaching. I'm hoping to do it this spring or next fall in Boise. I was going to post my rough draft of my letter of introduction but I made even more changes and still want to fix it up a bit. Wish me luck!
how fun that you get to apply for student teaching now!! Hope the school year goes better than you hope! :D
ReplyDeletewhat are FARTleks!!??
ReplyDeleteRunning fast at the end of your workout is a fantastic way to teach your body that it can do more. Way to put the pedal to the metal!
