So today my plan called for 6 miles with negative splits. You know those runs where you feel like you’re flying, like you could just go forever…that everything’s in sync. Yeah well that was NOT today’s run! “Holy Craptastic Run Batman!” I will get no style points for today’s run – but negative splits were achieved. Runs like this will make me stronger…or at least that’s what I kept muttering to myself during the run.
I’m trying to keep strength training interesting so I’ve been mixing it up where I can. The latest addition is my TRX Rip Trainer class. The Rip Trainer provides a mix of rotational resistance and core stability which I figure will give me a chance to really work my weaker left side, plus get the added core work I need. I haven’t been the most consistent with my strength work as I want to be so I like the idea of the class to help hold me accountable. I’m in for at least the next 6 weeks.
Going for my first run with my son tomorrow! Cannot wait to see how he does!
Hard to beat a run with your kids. Doesn’t happen often for me, but it’s great when it does. Enjoy!
That’s awesome! I wish I could get one of my kids to run 🙁
Good job on finishing a tough run and yes, those ones make you stronger – mentally and physically! Have fun running with your son. That’s awesome! I hope one day I will run with my kids 🙂
I’m way behind in my blog reading! Hope the run with your son went well!
