This was a good training week for me! Considering how busy life is and it being January, I really felt like I got out there and crushed it and am proud of myself. I've spent a lot of time reflecting this weekend on the marathon. I know I said I'd never go there again... but I think I'm ready to after taking nearly a year off. More on that later...
Monday: I work late on Mondays but managed to head to the gym for a rowing session (5k, 28:12) and for a lower body lift (30 minutes). It sucks and it's hard but I KNOW it's paying off!
Tuesday: Had a sneezing attack at work! Really wasn't feeling well and plus I hadn't been sleeping much. I'm on call this week and can really get calls at any point, day or night. I really did not want to work out but I know I've never regretted one so.. I ran 2 mi (18:00) and then lifted arms/back/shoulders.
Wednesday: Off; girl's night!
Thursday: 2400m rowing in the AM (10 min), 3.5 mi trail run in the afternoon (30:10--8:37/mi) and then lower body + supersets in the evening (20 min). Clearly I was feeling a little bit better after two solid night's sleeps!
Friday: 3.1 mi (28:35--9:13/mi)
Saturday: 4.5 progressive miles, 1.7 cool down, so 6.2 total mi! It was beautiful outside. I started at a 9:50 pace and finished my progression at 6:58. I realized how much better I do when I'm running at a conservative pace rather than trying to hit 8:3x or 8:2x for a long period of time. Something to work towards, however.
Sunday: 6 mi in 57:40. Much slower than yesterday but I am proud of my mileage for the weekend! I like back-to-back medium length runs. Now to make Sunday's run longer...
20.8 miles for the week plus 3 weight sessions and 2 cross training!
Tonight is cross-training and lifting! And I can't wait. Just 11 hours of work stand in my way!
