Activity: Core (Wii Fit)
Time: 30:00
Notes:
I tried out our new Wii Fit yesterday and it's actually pretty cool and a real workout. It's primarily yoga, pilates and strength exercises with a few games thrown in. I'm even a little sore today!

I missed my mileage marks for last week so I made sure to get some time in today even though it's not my normal running day. I'm glad I did as I felt less tired afterwards.

This was a true multi-tasking run as I stopped at the post office, picked up a birthday gift for my dad, and got ingredients for dinner while pushing the kids in the stroller. Yet another day in the life of a running mommy...

Log: 2008.11.02 - TIME TRIAL
Activity: Running
Distance: 4.67m
Time: 40:00
Notes:
1m warmup; 5K Time Trial; remainder cool down;
All at 1% incline
Splits: 7:40, 7:02, 6:53
5K Time: 22:14 (7:10 pace)
As I've noted in previous blog entries, I felt my training pace was too slow. I have been following Daniel's Running Formula which had me at a VDOT of 39 based on my recent half. So I decided to test the wheels out today and see what I could do.
I did even better than I expected and improved my VDOT to 44. A 3:15 marathon tracks to a VDOT of 49 so I am well on my way. I felt like I had more in the tank and looking at my splits shows I could have easily dropped 30s or more off the first mile. Very encouraging!
I'll do another time trial in December and see where things stand.
