Then I found out I had to escort my new coworker to another building for her 1 pm meeting. That gave me exactly 45 mins to change and run. Probably meaning I would be delivering her in my running clothes. Talk about speedwork incentive.
So I fired up the Tabata timer with Katie's Run Spice workout and hit the road. 10 min warm up and then 8 - 15 second run/jog intervals and a cooldown. In no time I was speeding along Elbow drive, knocking off the speed demons one by one.
The thaw this week meant my route was almost entirely ice free. NICE! I just had one stretch in the last km that was super snowy and I had to walk over it rather than risk killing myself.
I skidded back into the building in exactly 27 mins and just in time to get my coworker to the other office.
and dripping sweat as I walked her over in my dripping running clothes.
Trust me - in real life I looked much more drippy...
Here's what Nike+ had to say about the whole affair (btw - I HATE the "inspirational" crap at the end of the run. Anybody know how to turn that off? I'd love to shut Tim Tebow up so he'll stop congratulating me while I stretch)
