Thursday Thoughts (aka 3 Things)

Fear of black ice drove me back to the ‘mill today for my speedwork. This marks my 3rd run on the mill which I consider a big accomplishment in my ongoing effort to overcome ‘millphobia!

After some interesting tweets and some great tips posted by Amanda at Run to The Finish, I was motivated to revisit my ChiRunning DVD. Admittedly, I have this video for a while but with all the ‘mill running I find I’m paying more attention to my form and that combined with my ITB issues, has me more motivated than ever to improve my form to run as injury-free as possible. More on this to come….

I’ve been hesitating about registering for the RnR Half in Providence in August. It will be the inaugural race – I’ve been wanting to run one of the Rock n Roll races and this one is right in my back yard (read no travel expenses). Yet, the thought of 13.1 in August is a little daunting — it would be my 2nd half this year. Decisions, decisions….

  1. Nice millwork! And I don’t mean the wooden kind. 😉
    I ran the RnR half here last August. It was hot and humid. But you really should experience a RnR. I say go for it.

  2. Nice work! Maybe I should revist that ChiRunning book that I never finished. Me and the treadmill still aren’t getting along – although outside still seems fine, but it frustrates me, I want the treadmill option!

  3. Nice speedwork! I still have a love hate relationship with my treadmill. But I am grateful that a least I am running. I say go for it! Run the RnR I ran the Vegas one and it was a blast.

  5. The RnR races sound so great. If you think you can tolerate the heat, I say go for it. Glad you are conquering “millophobia”. Love that word.

  6. I think Chi running is very interesting…let me know what you come up with!
