Week 7: When to Run, Feb. 10-16th

By Cindy | February 19, 2008

The running schedule is challenging. I haven’t effectively reached the 4 days of running that I need to complete in the week. I was happy to get 6 miles, but I was short 6. The weather hasn’t been a factor. I need to make running a priority over cross-training and strength training. Regardless, this was a good week in which I stayed focused on working out in some capacity.

Sunday: 10 minute cardio routine. Stretch and Strengthen using dumbbells and stability ball at home. The full body workout consisted of 3 sets/12 repetitions of 10 exercises.

Monday: 10 minute cardio routine. 2 mile run on the treadmill.

Tuesday: 10 minute carido routine. Rest

Wednesday: I completed the Biggest Loser 2 DVD workouts consisting of Warm up, Boot Camp, High-Intensity Cardio for women, and cool down.

Thursday: 20 minute cardio routine. Valentine’s Day Workout. We had fun running around the house and being silly.

Friday: 4 mile run in the neighborhood.

Saturday: 10 minute cardio routine. Light strength training routine completed with dumbbells at home.

My eating habits are improving. I’m drinking more water, eating more salads, and snacking less in the evenings.

Week 3 of the Half-Marathon Training doesn’t increase the mileage by much, so I’m going to push forward and see how I feel by the end of the week. My goal is to complete a minimum 3 (of 4) running workouts and the strength, cross training routines.

I am not even close to what you achieve in a week but I suppose I’m just too lazy.
If I don’t push myself aggressively I can’t live in a focused schedule. I can appreciate people that are more goal oriented than I am but it seems extreme at times.

yay on the improved eating habits!!! While you may not be getting all your miles done, it is good that you are still keeping up with your cardio.
