Friday was a Gorgeous day for a run and run I did! 7.48 miles in 1:28. Not the best and I had hoped to get 8.5 done but I ran out of time before the hubby had to get the oldest from preschool. Also did my first run in my AWESOME Aspaeris Pivot Shorts ! They usually are a little out of my price range but they had a 1/2 off deal during the month of January and I just couldn’t resist! I looked at Target and Kohls but any longer spandex shorts they had were over $20 and they were no where as well made as my Aspaeris shorts! Sorry I don’t have any pictures before the run. After 6 miles in couldn’t even tell I was wearing them on my legs they are that comfortable! Considering the up and down nature of my town my hip flexors usually are the first things to start to bother me. They only bothered me a bit during the run and even now, 5 hours after my run they are just a little sore! They are definitely worth every penny and I wish that I had gotten a 2nd pair during the sale!
Fast Forward to this morning….I washed the shorts yesterday but didn’t put them in the dryer like it says you can. I don’t have longer shorts to wear to cycle class so I knew these would be a great time to wear them so the seat doesn’t eat my shorts . Let’s just say that the shorts are just as awesome for bike riding (I know that’s not new information)! I don’t feel like my legs got as tired during cycle class today and I felt like I was able to put more pedal to the metal so to speak during the speed portion. Now I do have to clarify that Saturdays cycle class is half cycle half sculpt off the bike, BUT having run 7.5 miles yesterday my legs my legs feel marvelous without the shorts on. My hip flexors are a little sore, but the changes in elevation during the run probably don’t help that.
I am kinda lax on my Twitter checking and noticed that I had been tagged again by a new to me blog http://www.nathanveldhoen.com . I’ve already tagged people once but I am still going to answer the questions because it is fun!
1) Favorite running race? I’ve done more 10k’s than any other distance, but I really enjoyed the Cherry Blossom 10M last year and my 1/2M. 2) What’s your favorite Niel Diamond song? 3) Whos the first person people you text after a race? My hubby! 4) Who makes your favorite race day underwear? I wear Gilligan O’Malley from Target 5) What’s your second favorite Niel Diamond song? 6) Flip flops or sandals? Flip Flops! 7) Favorite vacation spot? umm….haven’t been on a real vacation in centuries (I’m only 34 so that’s a LONG time , but I can’t wait until we get to go back to Myrtle Beach to visit! 8) Favorite Sports athlete? Probably any of the Eagles football players…Love that team! 9) If you had to get a tattoo what would it be? Still trying to figure it out. I want it to have meaning but some things I want are kinda cheesy 10) Swim, bike or Run? Run or Cycle class 11) Favorite day of the week? Any day where I get to run outside or get to spend awesome time with my family!
Now that all of us have had lunch and are content we might hit up Target with everyone else this afternoon. We are getting our youngest a new bed in a month or so and she needs some sheets!
