Training is right on track with the exception of my long run over the weekend – I missed it due to having class all weekend (something I forgot about until the last minute).
Cross training has consisted of “Kettlebell” workouts that prove to be short but intense, 15 to 25 minutes followed by a 10 to 20 minute jog..
If you ever plan to follow Galloway’s run/walk training for long runs I found a great timer that clips onto your shorts (or sweats) and can be set for recurring countdown followed by another period, that all keeps repeating. It’s called the “Gymboss timer” and can be found at http://www.gymboss.com/ for only $19.95. I plan on using it for my long runs as soon as it arrives (for a 4 minute run / 1 minute walk interval).

Running went great in Florida as you can see from the picture; I definitely miss the weather now that I’m back home. I’m continuing to train primarily on the treadmill due to the wind and cold but I’m hoping that this weekend will be warm enough for my 5-6 run (that’s to long and tedious to do on a treadmill).
