Last night when I got home I was happily surprised when I checked the mail to see that I had received a gift from a friend over a T Mat Pro. She had sent me a pair of CEP's men's compression sleeves that she had been given. I love coming home and finding surprises in the mail!
I am not a big fan of the compression sleeves or socks with running shorts look, but I will wear them when I train on the treadmill in the garage or while laying around the house. I wore them on my interval run this morning and they felt great. My shins still ache a little, but they are getting better each day.
Today was my interval day. I did 44 minutes on the treadmill.
10 min warp up (10 min mile pace)
6x 1 minute hard (7:30 min mile pace) followed by 3 minutes easy (1 min 3mph, 1 min 5 mph, 1 min 6 mph)
10 minute warm down (10 minute mile pace)
Tonight I am starting to pack for another camping trip. I am doing great with my goal of running a different SoCal trail each weekend during my marathon training. This time I am headed out tent camping in the Mojave desert at the Red Rock Canyon State Park. It's about 160 miles from Orange County. The landscape is amazing.
I am leaving on Saturday morning at 5:30 am and will stay until Monday afternoon. The weather is suppose to be a high 65 and a low of 34...that's cold for a California boy. There are bathrooms on site, but there are no showers. Since I am running 8 miles on Saturday and hiking on Sunday, I am going out by buy a sun shower at lunch today!!
Now it is time to start planning my meals for the weekend.
Have a great day!
Don't forget to get in on my Box O Stuff GIVEAWAY. The drawing is on Thanksgiving. Simply leave a comment here:
Ohhh yeah...I saw this video yesterday and it really bothered me, but it did raise the question..."Are we born with mental toughness or is does it have something to do with how we are raised?". What do you think?
