Remember that time I said I hate treadmills? Well … I have a date with a treadmill today. I run an hour to an hour and a half on Saturdays and the last few Saturdays have been pretty crappy outside. I thought I’d take the opportunity to get a good interval workout in since that’s kind of my theme nowadays.

Behold. I wrote another workout. I’ve done this before, except I think it was a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 minute thing instead of a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minute thing. Fun times. My high school boyfriend and I ran this on the cross country course back home when I started running. He was trying to make me get faster.

Note that since you’re running for a longer time that the bursts of speed are a little less speedy. Feel free to adjust if you feel like you could kick it a bit faster.

I went to the Bell Center today to run on a treadmill. I set out to run 45 minutes or 5 miles — whichever came first.

Welll … I ended up running for an hour.  Which was somewhere between 7 and 8 miles (I need to recalibrate my nike+ hardcore).

Anyway, here’s my run:

Notice my playlist is titled \m/ \m/ … that’s for metal.

I spent a good 20 minutes stretching out and LO! I can touch my left toe!!! I haven’t done that in years. Especially since I’ve been injured.

I’m currently enjoying my new favorite post-run treat. A faux-chocolate malt.  I haven’t quite gotten an official recipe down, but this is kinda what I’ve got going …

1-2 frozen bananas (peel/slice before you freeze)
1-2 bananas
5-7 ice cubes
1/4 c milk (you might have to add more towards the end
chocolate milk mix to taste

Toss it in a blender … ice and frozen naners first, add regular bananas and milk. Blend until desired consistency … add chocolate milk mix. Tastes like a chocolate malt!

teh bf awakes…so i’m cutting my LHF post short.

went to LHF a LONG freaking time ago for Meredith’s last weekend in Iowa before she moved to TX. Since none of us brought our cameras except Kelly we all waited forever for her to post pix. FINALLY she did.

Anyway, highlight was the print shop. AND my highlight was the butter churning treadmill. Seriously? yes. Seriously. If only it was attached to an ice cream maker, we’d be in business.

The guy in charge of this station said "normally we don't let adults do this, but you are about the size of a 12-year old..."

Will blog more about this later. right now it’s time to snuggle.
