Running Accomplishments:

Biggest running accomplishment has been to simply start running and love it!  I've always been an athlete, but running was just one of those things done for conditioning because I was compelled to do it :).  My love for running (because I chose it) began in April of 2009 and I haven't stopped since!

Yep that's zero running miles on Wed...felt it was the best thing to do based on how my PF was feeling and the resulting hip soreness from overcompensating for an injury.  That doesn't mean I didn't get a workout in!

Missed 6:30 spin...so I did my own killer workout and combined interval and endurance. 

Weights /core and ab workout
