Late night at the gym after a long day at school. Is it really only Running Tuesday!?
I wasn’t all that pumped about working out before I started, but once I got moving, that all changed.
My Running Tuesday, 1/31/12:
- Lean Arms Routine – 1 set
- 1/2 mi. warm-up – indoor track
- HIIT treadmill run
This was awesome! I made it up on the spot; it kept me completely distracted from the reality of $135 parking tickets, research projects and GI trouble for a full 28 minutes… and it left me a sweaty mess!!
- 1/2 mi. sprints – indoor track
- mini kettlebell mix @ 18lb. – lunges, squats, abs.
Well, that’s a wrap for January!
Total Mileage: 148 miles
Running: ~128 // Cycling: ~14 // Walking (‘mill only): ~5
I’ve been training like a fool lately and am excited about racing this Sunday; however, I’m not gonna lie… I’m ready to turn it down a notch.
Tomorrow’s a NEW month – hooray!!

I agree with your tweet there! All of the running I am doing makes me super hungry. Especially in the mornings. When I wake up, I’m like, I NEED breakfast!
I love that lean arm workout! :)
I agree with the never ending hunger and am ready to cut back my training as well…in just about 2 weeks!
Loved this HIIT treadmill run! I saw it before I left for the gym and decided to give it a try. I will definitely be doing it again! Thanks :-)
That’s a great mileage for January lady! Good job :)
I hate parking tickets, I usually get about 4 a semester. The ‘perks’ of living in a bigger city.
Just did the HIIT workout — it was awesome, thanks!! Those 30 second recoveries seemed so short ha! I am a sweaty mess and SO excited to make some breakfast.
Yay! I’m definitely going to do it again. It was a tough one! Nice job :)
Awesome workout! You’re so speedy. I love doing intervals on the treadmill, but I always get bad shin splints afterwards or some other sort of ache/pain. Any advice? Am I not easing into it slow enough?
Hmmm… good question. Knock on wood, I’ve had very little trouble with shin splints. I tend to think that treadmills are softer than most terrain outside, and therefore, would be easier on your muscles and joints.
