Day 5, Week 5: A lame limerick and some learnings.

Lame Limerick:

There once was an app called MyRunPlan
That lets you record just how far that you ran
But the workouts are recorded
With a lady voice that's distorted
I think I shall name her "Roxanne."

Even lamer learnings:

• I have found I like being bossed around by a distorted female robot voice in a running app.  Don't know why; I just do.
• How many pictures of the morning sun can a runner take in one morning run?  The amount in the little video above, that;s how many.
• Large dog was slobbering so badly it was getting on my legs during the run.  There's an FYI for you.
• My left glute was all sore and tight for some reason.  There's a TMI for you.

Tomorrow's workout: mmmmmmmWEIGHTS

A tempo run limerick. With pictures.

There once was a runner named Terie

Who's running partner was all brown, black, and hairy

We went a-running tempo,

Going too fast and not slow

Making Terie so stupid it's scary.

Lame limerick learnings:

• Confession:  I totally had to google the structure of a limerick before writing this.
• So I guess I haven't learned my "let's try and run our tempos at the right damn pace" lesson.  This was supposed to be at marathon pace (9:20).
• I was supposed to do 5 miles at tempo, but, you know, got up 15 minutes late and had to shave off that last mile.  Better some of the run than none.
• Large dog was SO HAPPY it was warm enough for him to run with me that he celebrated by dragging me into many, many ditches.
• Please feel free to express your amazement at my awesome limerick-writing skills in the comments.  

Tomorrow's workout: Total body, baby-I have some new Cathe workouts to try!!
