This was a week of redemption for me following the awful experience of week 9 training.
Week 10 began strong, and also gave my legs some time to recover. I knew that it was important for me to give myself some rest, and listen to my body.
I went on a little weekend trip to Louisville, KY this week to visit my family that lives there. That definitely offered some relaxation and fun to get my mind off training. I threw in some photos below for your viewing pleasure 🙂
Monday – Off
Tuesday – 8 miles at 8:00 pace. Ran 3 minutes hard for 6 of the miles. Overall, this was a really good run and offered a break from the track and mile repeats (which can be mentally exhausting).
Wednesday – 4 miles at 9:15 pace. Great run with Diana following her big marathon!
Thursday – 10 miles at 8:40 pace. Great run with Stacy and Emily! Picked it up for 2 mins 5 times. Probably should’ve done my pick up 10 times, but was giving myself a “break”…
Friday – 2.3 miles on the elliptical. I haven’t been on an elliptical and years, but I really enjoyed this 30 minute workout!! It offered me something different and gave me the chance to catch up on Grey’s Anatomy!!
Saturday – 16 miles at 8:37 pace. Good run in Louisville with Ramsey by my side on his bike! Hilly run but overall pretty good. Hit my 1,000 mile mark for the year on the run!
Sunday – Off
Total Miles: 40.3 miles
Betting on some horses at Keeneland!
Mom and I at Keeneland.
Aunt Holly and I at Woodford Reserve tasting some Bourbon!
One of my biggest running cheerleaders! What a trooper to ride his bike next to me for 2.5 hours while I ran!!!
Ridin’ a Wild Turkey!!
