sarcasm wednesday

wednesday night workouts are the best!

our runs on wednesdays are dedicated to practicing form and technique. last night was all about running with short quick strides. or as ramon described it 'tiki tiki tiki' strides. so we had to run for about 7 minutes tiki tiki style and then 2 minutes our normal stride.. now my question is, what is a girl to do if her 'normal' stride IS tiki-tiki?!

we ran back and forth between 87th and 97th on the east side of central park for about 40 minutes. it was cold, and after the heat wave last saturday it seemed even more torturous. i had a taste of spring, and i loved it. the upside to the night was that i ran with the rookie and so we got some quality catching up time in. i felt like i was holding him back, but he assures me that was not the case.

after the workout we had our first official team social at a bar on the UES. i headed over with the rookie and roxie had a pitcher waiting for us! it was a fun night, played some pool, made some new friends and found out that my running shoes are way to heavy for me. i kind of knew i needed new ones, but it's official now. luckily one of my new friends works at urban athletics so i am sure he will steer me in the right direction!

miles: 4ish
beers: 4ish
