Another recovery week for me last week. I feel like I just had a recovery week which I did. Two weeks ago when I was on vacation I didn't run at all. I've also realized this week that a 24 week training program is a long time. Although the race is coming up in about 8 weeks, I have been training for 16 weeks. When choosing this training program, I knew 24 weeks would start to feel very long, but I really wanted a plan that only had 3 days of running.
I still have a long way to go--including two 20 milers. But I am starting to feel more ready for the race.
February 25-March 3.
- Monday - 75 min yoga
- Tuesday - Rest (there was a snowstorm)
- Wednesday - 55 min spin class with hills, 6 mile run
- Thursday - 6 mile w/ 4 @ 9:05 and .5% incline
- Friday - Rest
- Saturday - Rest
- Sunday - 10.5 miles
- Total - 22.5 mi running + 75 min yoga + 55 min spin
Is a snowstorm a good excuse for not getting a run in? My boss let us leave work early on Tuesday because we were getting 6+ inches of snow. In the end, the roads weren't that terrible, but I was thankful to get a head start on traffic. When I was leaving work, I thought about going straight to the gym, but I went home instead. I certainly didn't want to go back outside once I was all cozy inside so I doubled up my Wednesday workouts.
Saturday's run got put off until Sunday again. I need to plan something for Saturday that makes me get off my butt because I end up just spending most of the day lounging around. Sunday morning I got right out of bed and grabbed a quick snack before heading out for my run. I wanted to do 13 miles, but I ran out of time. Book club was Sunday afternoon and my dish still wasn't made! The run went okay. I am still on the hunt for places shoveled sidewalks.
