I'm updating you on my training sooner than I thought because I made myself a training log and (for some dumb reason) I designed it to go from Monday – Sunday. Anyhoo … .aAmazing amazing week. I feel like I really hit what I wanted. Hope I can keep it up.
The one goal I'd set that I didn't accomplish was running outdoors again. Considering the weather we've had to contend with and everything else I've accomplished, I will let it slide.
What have I done since last Tuesday?
Wednesday: I went for a 50 min swim. I wanted to do 60, but I was running late.
Thursday: After our disasterous Weds night (Tabby throwing up), I could not get up and took this day off
Friday: Ran for like 30 or 40 min (honestly can't remember)
Saturday: Did 2 miles at my top speed with a 3 min break between miles, then lifted weights … and then did a 60 min step class. This was admittedly a bit crazy, but I hardly ever get this kind of time to myself and I over did it. Advil and I were bossom buddies Sunday.
Sunday: the training schedule said 70 min run (oops, it actually said 60, but I can't read apparently), and I was sort of doubtful after yesterday, but I am super proud to say that I did it!!!!! and I ran (basically) the race distance as well, so yea … awesome week.
And you better believe I took today off. I'm training … I'm not suicidal. This week I plan to keep it up and get an outdoors workout in. Unfortunately the weather looks as abysmal as the past week (if not more so), but it's a goal, right? Plus I want to get one more strength workout in. Continue reading “Training Update: X Training”
