First last nights run went well. I opted to head indoors to Talisman due to the crazy weather and ran on the treadmill. I figured that I had a better chance of doing my Fartlet on a treadmill where I could force myself to push those faster speeds for a set amount of time. When I've done it in the past on the pathways it usually just turns into a ez or a zone two run. I figured I could leave my HR monitor at home since I didn't have to pay attention to which zone I was in. I felt so totally lost without it! I was trying to figure out if I was warmed up enough to go. The HR on the machine was totally useless, at one point just after I had finished running at level 8.0 with a 2% grade it said my HR was 112!!! I just really don't enjoy the fartlet. The thing I love most about running is the meditative state that you can settle into. 'The Zone' if you will. There is no Zone in a fartlet run.
Drumroll please for the plank times
Front: 3.06 That's right. At various point I started cursing ever knowing you lot! Susi, Greg, Julie, Chuck I'm lookin' at you with your 3+ minutes!!!
Right Side: 1.25
Left Side: 1.45
In slacker news I couldn't sleep last night. Finally falling asleep around 1am and then wide awake at 4am. Staring at the ceiling when my alarm went off for the pool and I thought to myself WWIGD? Given the choice between getting any sleep or getting into the pool, I'm guessing that he would make the same choice as I did, bury myself under the blankets.
The good news about today is that it's Susi's Sushi Friday. Not just sushi but all you can eat sushi.
Run Fatboy Run opens this Friday, how's next weekend for a IG blogosphere trip to the cinema?

mmm Sushi...I grabbed one of my co-workers earlier this week and hit up a local spot in downtown Halifax. I love sushi.
Funny you mentioned the "Zone" while running. I read an article by Mark Allen about what he calls "Zen Running" - same thing Basically its shutting out the world when you are running. You think about nothing, you see nothing but 6ft in front of you - you let yourself go blank. I've been practicing a lot lately on my long runs.
So you are leaving Calgary? Where are you going? My wife and I regret leaving but that is whole other story for another time.
