Saturday Run

What a morning...woke up before the alarm that was set for 6:00am. Checked the weather...minus 30 something with a wicked windchill. Guess I am looking for a treadmill today. I had called one of the local gyms yesterday and specifically asked "What time do you open on Saturday mornings?" The answer...5:30am. Perfect. I just wanted to be around people this morning!! Arrive at the gym around 6:45...Sign says, Saturdays open at 8:00am. Frustration!! Thank goodness I had the wits to remember my pass to the office gym cause that is where I did my hour run. BOREDOM! But got it done and in my hr ranges JP prescribed so all was good. Stopped into the Roastery for a coffee...another treat to myself for getting the job done. Had my Friday talk with JP yesterday. He is getting a bit tougher, imo!! I told him it was going to be cold today to do my run and I was looking for maybe a "you can skip this one" or "you don't have to go the whole hour" but NO...I got "Well, I guess you are on the treadmill tomorrow morning. And make sure you are at the top of that HR range" YIKES! And we reviewed the training for next week and he says "I want you tired, beat tired by the end of the week...every workout is as hard as you can next week." Thanks JP!!
