I didn’t quite make it to 60 miles last week; I only ran 58. My mileage throughout the week was a bit low due to the weather (I took Wednesday off from running, being content to shovel snow for an hour or so) – this weekend I got about 13 miles in on the trails on Saturday, and then ran a fast 12 miles (followed by another 4 miles cool down) on Sunday.
My mid-week speed session (hill repeats) wasn’t all that speedy given the lack of folks showing up and the slickness of the road following the ice storm the day before. This week I’d like to get at least one quality speed workout in during the week, and then over the weekend either get in a 20 miler or a 1 mile race, depending upon whether I visit my folks and decide to compete in a local USATF indoor track meet.
Last week, I missed 2 days for getting my fiber in. Tuesday, when I had some sort of stomach bug and was not keeping any food down, and yesterday. Yesterday, I went out to dinner, and splurged a bunch of points on some fried cheese sticks! Yummy. Didn’t go over points, but didn’t have a lot left over to squish my fiber options in there. Will try harder this week.
This week, I’m setting my goals to do my new workout video (which has 5 10-minute segments in it, instead of being divided into 3 ‘circuits’ and warm up and cool down.)
My plan is to do the warm up from my old dvd, then do 3 of the segments of the new vid, plus the cool down from the old, which will push my workout from 30 minutes to 40 minutes. My intent is to do this 3 times this week.
3 Runner-Core DVD workouts in one week. Last week I got 2.
Way to go, Blaine. Just shy by two isn’t bad at all. Good luck on your weekend plans.
Great Job, Lynn. Your goal is clearly defined and planned out. I look forward to hearing how things go.
Excellent job, Rachel. With your focus, you’re gonna get those workouts in!
I’m here! I’ve just been busy. I got my two cardio workouts in last week but not the yoga session.
This week I will go back to one cardio and one yoga, particularly since I have a cold. Ugh!
Ug. Thursday check in. The new workout video had too many jumps in it, which I am having trouble with because of an old injury to my ankle. Instead, I’ve continued to do my old workout, and I’ve spent 2 days doing 20 minutes on my dad’s elliptical trainer. Wow, that’s tough!
