Running Totals for 10 Nov 09

Today I decided that I would run from the house over to FBC. I should do this more often but sometimes I need to get in a longer run than I would get from running over to the gym and running home. On the "cardio" days it is a good idea because most of our workout is cardio based. The cardio days seem to be Tues, Wed, and Fri. I think I will keep running over there on those days and combine MY cardio with FBC cardio, two birds with one stone so to speak. Today's workout was pretty killer. Our Sasquatch instructor (he is covered with hair from head to toe) had us running the track with medicine balls. My ball of "choice" was a 13.2 pounder and I had no idea how bad it would suck to lug one of those things around a track. One reason is sucked was because it is difficult to run without using your arms, at least for me it is. It totally kills your momentum. Two, that stupid thing is heavy and awkward! Anyways, I powered through it and when everything was said and done we did 3 miles with it in arms. Did I mention and we are to run bleachers with it! Today I got in 7.90 miles, burned 1,485 calories (amazing that yesterday I did 8.1 miles and only burned 900 something calories but today's workout was crazy intense and I burned so much more. I love my Forerunner 405), and my workout took me 1 hour and 44 minutes. It was a good workout. I am hoping that my legs don't hurt too much when I wake up so I can go for a long run before I knock out another 12 hour shift. Happy Running!! Until next time...
