Monday
2.07 mile walk
Tuesday
2.04 mile walk
3-4 mile run - 3.37 miles
This was my first run on my new training plan. The plan has me running 5 times a week, with mileage ranges for each day. Each run, I aim to run the higher end of the mileage range, but sometimes, it just doesn't work out. I am using run/walk intervals (2:30 run/:30 walk) until my legs gain strength and my breathing comes easier.
Wednesday
2.25 mile walk
2-3 mile run - 2.48 miles
I pushed myself with this run, working on speed. Even though I am taking walking breaks, I am very happy with my pace.
Thursday
2.36 mile walk
3-4 mile run - My legs were DEAD so I chose to forgo the run, and stretched a lot instead.
My legs were so tired and sore that I just couldn't make myself run!
Friday
REST
Legs were still really tired so I took a true rest day, and didn't do any activity other than stretching.
Saturday
1.58 mile hike
1.72 mile hike
2-3 mile run - 2.08 miles
We went camping with my family this weekend at a small campground. The trails were pretty short, so I did a double hike to get some extra activity in. First, I went with Nick and the dogs, and then my nephew wanted to go so I took another loop with him. It was a rather humid and steamy day, and I put off running for the longest time. I almost didn't go at all, but finally talked myself into it. I did the same hiking loop, with some added road running to get at least 2 miles. Trail running is difficult, but a lot of fun! The varying terrain helps focus my mind on the trail and my form rather than how tired I am.
Sunday
4-5 mile long run - 5.18
Everything about this run felt good! I would have liked to see faster mile times, but I wanted to go with an easy pace so I could cover some good mileage. Overall, very happy with how this run went!
This past week, I completed a total of 10 workouts. Per my rewards system, I banked $20 (10 workouts X $2 each) for my shopping spree fund! After work, I need to go grocery shopping so I'm going to take $20 out at an ATM to stash away in a safe place at home.
This weeks training plan looks like this:
Monday

I will walk the dogs, and I plan on doing upper and lower strength training circuits.
Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday
