Another week of pain free running in the books! I have been trying something different this week that I wanted to share. I have been setting up all of my runs in Garmin Connect and then transferring them to my Garmin 620 because it really helps me hit my target paces and I don't have to keep staring at my watch. I seem to do much better with the help of Garmin beeping and screaming at me when I am running too fast or too slow. It also stops me from throwing in the towel and just going for a run versus finishing the planned workout!
Here is a recap of Week Eleven:
Monday: Strength Training: I love squats..they are my favorite!
Tuesday: 5.5 Mile Threshold Run: I went to the track at my regular time but noticed that it is starting to get dark a little earlier. I try to get there as late as possible to avoid the heat so a break from the heat is much needed if I am going to have to start getting there a little earlier.
Wednesday: Muscle Imbalance Strength Training: Buster kept me company while I squatted my life away. I am getting better with the Bosu Ball so I am excited to see some progress here.
Thursday: 4.35 Miles: I took this run to the track because I didn't feel like dealing with all of the traffic lights and extra stops. My runs seems to go a lot better without all of the unnecessary stops.
Friday: REST DAY: This was a working Friday for me so it was nice to come home from work to relax and prepare for my long run in the morning.
Saturday: 20.15 Miles: This was a tough one because of the heat. The last three miles were really ugly and I took way too many breaks! It started out great but at the temperature rose I wasn't feeling so great. I have not been feeling too positive about my long runs lately.
Sunday: Strength Training: My legs were feeling great after my 20 mile run so I decided to go ahead with my strength training. I was finally able to handle some 45's on the leg press so I was pretty happy about that!
TOTAL MILES: 30
2015 MILES: 865
You rock - I'm so excited to see your progress at your next race. Goooo Sandyyyy!!

ReplyDeleteYay!!
ReplyDeleteKick-ass, girl!!
What yoo should be preparing for, though,
is extraordinary Seventh-Heaven:
'We cannot be neutral in our lifelong demise precisely because Jesus WILL NOT be neutral at our Divine Judgement' -blessed holy socks
Ya better live withat fact, pal; ya better conform your indelible soul to that axiom, earthling: once this finite existence is finished, Jesus shall kick-you-out of Seventh-Heaven if you're lukewarm.
This aint no joke, pal;
what we do in our lifetimes
has eternal consequences:
Jesus sez...
FEW SHALL ENTER SEVENTH-HEAVEN.
Howd'ya literally N figuratively
WISEABOVE?? Pray the Stations. Go to Mass at least Sunday. Lissen. Pray the Rosary to kick-Satan's-ass. Carry your cross - literally and/or figuratively. Goto the Adoration Chapel located inside every Catholic choirch. Pray, pray, pray. Offer your whole day N night to the Trinity. Read your Bible. DO IT! We dont have long before our LastPage.
Withe filthy, whorizontal piss-ants which swiftly crawl like lemmings to their scorecard destruction seeing who can git a lower place in Hellfire, dont you think your lifetime is EXTREMELY vital to the planet? Thus, to love the lives of others is to love your own: spread the Gospel of Jesus.
trustNjesus.
ALWAYS.
God bless your indelible soul.
Yes, earthling, Im an NDE.
