3 Miler Galloway Method

Well, I was unable to make it to swim class today, because I subbed up at Hutto Baptist, I guess I could have gone to the 5:30am class, but that would have meant Brian would work a longer day, and get home later so I opted out.   Excuses, huh?? Lately I have been taking the Monday and Wednesday RPM/SPIN classes, but today it was a toss up between the opportunity to run outside or the RPM class.  I chose to run outside.  Let me tell you how nice it is to have Kace back, one of the many perks is having a trusted babysitter.   I know, I know  it's selfish of me, but it's true.
So having Kace back, gave me the opportunity to run outside this afternoon around 3:30ish.  It was a beautiful day, may I add. Blue, Blue, Blue skies. Not just one shade of blue, but multiple shades I have to say.  At one point in my run, I was running east on Carl Stern, the sky gave off the illusion of mountains.  I was convinced I was running towards the mountains, then I was rudely awakened by the honk of a car, LMAO!!  It sure was pretty. Weather was nice, too. I actually was able to run in shorts, and a long sleeved polyester type of running hoodie, I'll just call it.  
Well, back to the run. It started off kinda rough, my legs felt like lead,right from the start,  so I thought I would take this opportunity and use the Galloway method to make comparison.  I will say that my pace wasn't all that off.  I was kinda impressed with the Galloway method.   Now, I'm not all that fast, well now I'm NOT, when I was running consistently I had a better pace, but now I'm like a tuuuurtle, LMAO, I have lost all that I gained endurance wise except for may be just weeeee bit, LMAO!!!Yeah, that's me, SEXY, HuH!!!! LoL!

Getting back to my comparison, I looked through my other 3 mile runs, and I had just about the same pace running 3 minutes and walking 1 minute, then I did just running straight.  I found that to be really really interesting.  I did notice though that my shins bothered me more this run then on other past runs where I was straight running,I am assuming because of the faster pace during the 3 minute interval.   Today, was a tough but good run!!!  The best part of running is the finish line! LoL.  I will give the Galloway method a THUMBS UPPERS!!!!
