Holy cow, we are already done with 3 weeks of training! WOOHOO and a big *happy dance*!
This week it doesn’t look like my mileage was that awesome, but I did get in some good cross training.
- 27 miles
- 06:40 time
- 2999 calories
- 8 workouts
During this week. I completed 2 spin workouts, 1 body pump class, and 1 CX works (core) class. I also busted out a mile on the stairmaster.
I ate SUPER healthy too!!
Hard runs included hills on Tuesday, where my legs were so sore from the Monday spin/run workouts that I basically had to waddle my way up. At the end, I was nearly crawling. But since this training is low key and no stress, I didn’t even freak out like I normally would over a bad workout in training! I am really loving this approach.
Thursday morning we decided that a treadmill run was necessary since it was negative 20 (exxageration) outside and I am not tough. Stacy, Diana and I got on mills next to one another and did 6 sets of tempo with a 1 minute off. Mine looked like this:
- 2 mins hard, one min easy
- 2.5 mins hard, one min easy
- 2 mins hard, one min easy
- 2.5 mins hard, one min easy
- 2 mins hard, one min easy
- 3 mins hard, and cooldown
Total milege was a tad over 5, at an 8:35 pace (my tempo pace was low 7’s). Then I jumped on the stairmaster for further torture.
Following the treadmill torture.
Saturday morning we did a 10 mile long run (9:11 pace), which was pretty hard. I have got to stop partying like a rock star the night before long runs. Especially this week, seeing that we have 16 miles on the schedule.

A super delicious drink I had called “Shoot the Runner”
Wedding fun (after a gazillion drinks).
We had our own SuperBowl party, where commercial breaks were used for 8 minute abs.
