This morning marked the start of operation: get my running speed back!
My friend Sokphal and I took our standing Tuesday a.m. run date to the track. We ran the 1.75ish miles to get there, and once there, we decided to do a 2 mile workout. For 8 laps, we jogged the curves and ran hard on the straights. I love this track workout – it’s one I used to do in grad school at UNC on their baby blue track. It’s nice because you can chat on the curves, too, so it still feels like a fun social outing. 🙂 We probably did about 7:30 min/miles on the straights and 9 on the curves? Felt good to pick up the pace!
We ended up covering about 5.5 miles total, including the 2 mile track workout. Our splits:
I’m a huge fan of Target® in general (essentially half of my wardrobe is from Target® – I may or may not have also bought a dress while I was at the store getting this workout gear), but I also really love their activewear, so I was excited when they reached out to me about this review! Back in 2005 after college when I was just getting more into running, I bought a TON of Target® workout clothes to get myself started and still have most of them to this day. Their stuff is super affordable, durable, and really cute, too. I also love their sports bras!
This morning I was rocking the Women’s Run Short with Knit Waistband in navy blue ($16.99) and the Women’s Sporty Layered Run Tank in navy blue/light pink ($22.99).
They have the tank and the shorts in all sorts of colors. I would totally buy both of these items with my own money – two big thumbs up. Cheap, cute, functional, and fit well! Win.
When I got home, I hit our apartment gym to stretch out and to do this 5-minute shoulder workout. It was great – try it yourself! Also, I realized the instructor is wearing the exact same outfit as me. She clearly has excellent taste with color combos. 😉
And now, coffee. Have a great day, friends!
Do you own any Target® C9 activewear?
