Believe it or not, people actually like to see ( and asked to see) my weekly recap. So, here ya go. I do take requests. 🙂
It just happened to be a solid week of training for me. Even if my mileage was a little less than I hoped for. I am just happy I didn’t take 3 days off from activity this week. I also got to run next to Mary on the treadmill. Who cares if we didn’t talk. I was able to spend some quality time sweating with my girl. 😉 It’s the little victories….
And your eyes are not deceiving you. I ran outside. First time since the end of October. I know. I suck. So does this Polar Vortex crap. It makes people ( not me) bitchy. Who cares that I planned on running at 8am and actually ran at 2 pm? Who cares!?!?!? Not me. The sun was out and it was glorious. I am hoping this was just the start of the END of my hibernation. Can it be? Who knows. 🙂
I will try to include my Sunday Set- Up. This is just my plan for the week, and next Sunday I will let you know what I actually did.
Monday– Spin instruction ( 2 classes)
Tuesday– Run to include hill sprints ( 7-9 mile goal). Full body weights
Wednesday– Spin instruction and yoga ( whaaaaat?)
Thursday- Run – to include tempo intervals ( 7-9 mile goal). Body Combat class or Full body weights.
Friday– Easy cardio ( not running) for 45-60 minutes.
Saturday- Run 16 miles
Wish me luck!
Question: Do you plan your whole week in advance?
Song choice of the day: Do it by Pitbull.
It’s on my running playlist. I just like the beat. It’s just one of those songs that makes me smile- while running. That’s not easy. And I like Pitbull. He looks nice in a suit.
I am thrilled to discover your blog after finding you on FB 🙂 – really love reading your training recaps and especially love the new music enables. 😉 I’m a huge Pitbull fan so not sure how I missed this one – but adding stat. 😉
I am hoping to meet you in person at Gazelle 🙂 – you are super inspiring! This will be my first time running this one, and my first half for this year. 🙂
Thanks so much AnnaMarie!! How nice of you to say that. 🙂
Congratulations on choosing to run a half marathon. You will absolutely LOVE the Gazelle Girl!!
I am at the store a few times a week…it would be great to meet you. We can talk about running, half marathons and Pitbull. Or we can just talk about Pitbull. 😉
Marcia, I wish I lived closer to you – I’m out by the Ann Arbor area though or I would most definitely take you up on that offer to meet up at the store! 🙂 And talk all things running – or umm yeah even just about Pitbull. 😉 This is my 5th half and the first one for this year… looking forward to being in Grand Rapids in April! 🙂 I’m going to be coaching GOTR for the first time this spring too, so being part of Gazelle will be even more special for me. 🙂
Maybe we can connect at the Expo or afterwards…I’ll be there with a friend also doing the half. 😉 Thanks for replying! 🙂
