Week two of Boston Marathon training went well!
I have been trying not to follow any kind of schedule in an effort to avoid burnt out. I have been running when I feel like running, and getting in my long runs as I should.
I have also been cross training a TON. Spin, body pump and the stairmaster are my new best friends. I love changing it up and trying new things. And I hope that this cross training will help with my speed and body tone.
Total miles for the week clocked in at 36, which is not too shabby when I think about the fact that I didn’t focus on running too much. Cross training workouts for the week stood at 6 total. 3 body pump classes, 1 spin class and 2 turns on the stairmaster.
- 36 miles
- 06:04 hours
- 3687 calories
- 12 workouts
This week’s long run was at the trail, and way too early following my company’s annual party. I refused to not have fun at the party and enjoy myself. So I prepared myself in advance for a tough Saturday morning run.
The theme was speakeasy, aka flapper era.
I dressed up, Ramsey did not.
Rockin my fake hair. I love that stuff.
The party was a BLAST!! And I should really consider all the dancing as another workout. The people I work with are amazing!!!
6:30 am came WAY too early on Saturday morning, but I wanted to get the run done so I could go back to sleep.
I met the girls at 7:15 and we started our run. I forgot my Garmin, so I actually have no idea what our pace was or how fast we ran. And I love that. NYC training had me obsessed with pace and checking my watch, but on Saturday I got to enjoy the run and chat with my friends.
Feetsies.
I hope for another successful week of marathon training the next 7 days.
And I am really excited to try some new recipes and incorporate healthier foods into my diet as well! If I come across anything good – I will share it with you!
