I upped my mileage by 10% this week and I plan to do the same next week! If i can keep it up and consistently run 30-35 miles a week I should be able to get back to racing weight and set myself up for a half marathon PR this year!
I've eyed up a few more races and am tentatively thinking of signing up for 11 more races! I need to find out what's going on with my husband's job though first! I figure if a race every other week or once a month keeps me motivated and healthy than it is worth it! oh and of course a new pair of running shoes now and again...
Monday: 1.43 mile hike to keep my legs fresh after a lot of miles last weekend! It was a beautiful day and I had to really keep myself from running because I had a hard workout planned for ...
Tuesday: 35 min tempo with a warm up and cool down made for 7.10 total miles on my favorite trail! It was such a beautiful day and this run made me feel fit and strong :-)
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: 6 X 400m with a warm-up and cool-down made for 4.5 miles total for this beautiful snowy run! After dinner I got a shoulder/back workout in and felt great.
Friday: 2.5 miles before work.. I really meant to run more but my new book (about women's mood swings and hormones and how we need to be affirmed as women to be successful in this crazy world!) took precedence at 6am! haha
Saturday & Sunday: OFF due to a quick trip to my hometown! I was planning on getting in a run Sunday morning but being on our feet 8 hours (standing, walking, dancing at the Bruce Springsteen concert (!!)) on Saturday made me just sleeeep in and do a little sight-seeing on Sunday. Here's hoping for a solid 25 miles this upcoming week!
11 MORE RACES???? you're a machine!!!
