Sunshine Day

 

Happy Wednesday! This morning when I woke up the birds were chirping and the sun was already shining! There is no better way to start the day than a sunshine filled walk to the gym! I can feel summer right around the corner and spring is doing it’s best to appear this week!  This is the warmest forecast we’ve had since Fall! imageThis morning’s workout was a tempo run, including some hills and speed to mix things up. Based on my Mini 10k training plan I needed to log 5 miles today. To keep boredom at bay, I switched it up a bit and kept things changing throughout the 5 miles!

Mile 1 6.1-6.3 mph Incline: 1
Mile 2 6.2 mph Incline: 1-8 rolling hills
Mile 3 6.2 mph Incline 2
Mile 4 6.2 Incline: 1-5 rolling hills
Mile 5 6.5-7.0 Incline: 0

While this wasn’t your typical tempo run due to the last mile not being a cool down/recovery, I loved this workout! I was nice and sweaty by the end but I was never bored once!

Our walk home from the gym was more scenic than normal due to all the flowers in Gramercy Park!

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! I’m heading out to tour stores in Long Island today which will definitely be an adventure. I’ve never taken the LIRR alone, nor have I spent time in suburban Long Island!
