Back to Weekly Workout Logs

It's getting harder to write blogs that I feel are worth publishing .... So for the time being, I'll start back with the weekly workout logs.

Monday: 60 minutes on the elliptical. Made it just under 6 miles. I found it interesting that I get much farther on the elliptical at my apartment than on the one at the gym, despite the same perceived effort.

Tuesday: Running group speedwork day. We warmed up with an 11 minute jog, then 20/40 striders. The workout began with a 12 minute jog in the sand, followed by drills and another jog in the sand back to the pavement. Then, a 1 mile tempo at half marathon pace and 1X1 fartleks to finish the workout.
It was brutal, but I made it through!

Wednesday: A much needed rest day.

Thursday: HIIT workout, followed by a few sun salutations to keep the muscles in tune. It feels good to get back to the short, intense workouts, and to still have time to take Jeff to the dog park.

Friday: an easy 4 miles. I ran/walked miles 1 & 4 and ran all of 2 & 3! Part of mile 4 was also some running/soccer drills on the tennis courts by my building. I can already tell the speed work is helping!

Saturday: 30 minutes on the arc trainer and 30 minutes of lifting.

Sunday: 11 mile long run. While it was a cool morning, it was so humid, I was sweating as if I were running in 90* weather instead of 72* degree weather. Humidity aside, it was a lovely run, and felt as wonderful as ever.
