Workout Wednesday
We thought we would change things up a bit and as we are starting to think about running again we decided to change our Wednesday post to Workout Wednesdays again. Twin 2 bought a book from Runner's World where there are only 3 runs a week but the runs are shorter and harder. We run 3 days a week and cross train (bike) and do strength training 2 days a week. We started the first week of August but got a little side tracked on vacation but now we are back on track. We are starting with the run/walk program as we hadn't ran in quite some time. Our goal is the 5k in October (BLT Fun Run).
W=Walk
R=Run
T=Tempo
E=Easy
H=Hard
ST=Strength Training

W -10 min
R - 2 min/W - 2 min X3

Total = 32 min for 3.31k at 9:41/km
We did this run after an afternoon of tanning around 4pm. Not bad under the circumstances and Twin 1 didn't bring her running clothes to Twin 2's so she had to wear Twin 2's clothes which didn't fit properly but she got tights out of it and seems to wear them everyday.
