Jan 5

I had my first "real" run at the dome today. I will be going every Tuesday from now until April 19th. I say it was my first real one because it is only the second time I've been there and I now know a bit more of what I should do. I meet up with a bunch of the guys and we all head out there, some of them have a different routine while there but that's what makes it good to go because even though we are not all at the same level or speed we can still push and encourage each other. The only thing I don't like about the dome is that my Garmin doesn't work as acurately as when I am outside.

I brought my Ipod with me this time and found it really helped to keep me focused. I started with 10 laps of 400m each (4K) for my warm up. It was so hard to start the running and I am glad I did such a long warm up because then I felt good to go. Then we changed direction and ran 10 sets of 100m for some speed intervals (another 4K) until it was time to cool down although I probably should have done another 10 laps I only did 5 laps (2K). I really wanted to see the end of the gold hockey game.

Tomorrow I believe I'll be running 10K outside so it might feel like 20K, we'll have to wait and see how much more snow we will get before then.
