Progression

I haven't been very good about posting lately. I can see myself posting less and less during the school year (that comes with the territory of the full time job with full time school).

Monday was my easy run. Three miles at a modest pace (I think 8:40/mile).

Tuesday I had off. I didn't run at all, but I played outside a lot!

Today I got out the door at about 7am. I love that time of day (now that it's staying darker later in the morning). Unfortunately, I will have to really get myself used to waking up earlier and just GETTING out the DOOR~~

My progression run felt amazing. I still feel like my lactic acid threshold is low and the last mile of my hard run (mile 6) was torture! Overall, the workout was really great!

Mile one- 8:31
Mile two- 7:43
Mile three- 7:33
Mile four- 7:19
Mile five- 7:15
Mile six- 6:57
Mile seven (cooldown)- 8:31

It's really amazing how EASY 8:31 feels when you've run hard for 5 miles!

Classes start soon! I already have emails from UWC (for my three online classes), as well as confirmation of my 5 credit UWRF course for this fall! I signed up to take my PRAXIS 2 test (I have to pass this to student teach). I'll be taking this test in November! This should be an exciting and BUSY school year! I'm looking forward to graduating college. Even if I don't get a teaching job right away, I love working in the school! Every day is a new adventure, and a chance to reach children with the hope of passing on a love for learning!
