Sore Legs - the Good Kind of Sore

I've forgotten which workouts I did on which days last week, so I will begin with Sunday (yesterday).

Sunday's workout:

2 mile warm-up
2 hours at marathon pace (8:15 min/mile)
2 mile cool-down

This was a killer workout. Even though I couldn't time every mile, I did do the first and last miles on the track to ingrain the pace in my legs. My route took me out to University of Richmond, which is beautiful but very hilly. "I've made a huge mistake," I thought as I chugged up the first of many inclines. Hopefully my pace didn't wane too much. I do know that my legs are feeling those speed bumps today. Ugh. I have to sit down like a pregnant woman.

Today's workout:

3 mile run (this week is low in mileage)

3 x (12 push ups, 15 curls, 15 military presses)
150 crunches and some back stuff

I actually have to admit, I actually miss hills. There is really no challange in flat courses and the "hills" on the treadmill don't really count because the belt does a lot of the work for me :-(.

Tomorrow is going to get up near 50 degrees supposedly so I'm super hoping for the sidewalks, tracks, and streets to be cleared of ice and other dangers so I may go on my 5 miler outdoors :-)!!!

150 crunches... you are so good to yourself. If you get a minute, let me know if you just do straight crunches or do you alternate with different kinds (does that make sense?)?? Are you a ball believer?

Sorry for all the questions ;-)
