Workouts - January 18, 2016
Here is an expression that sums up the past week:
Anyway! I'm away from home again, and running in extremely hilly terrain, so the workouts have been sort of hang-on-for-dear-life type stuff. I also canned the idea of an early spring marathon (I think? Still not discounting a longer trail race, though.), after faking my way through several long runs, not recovering properly from multiple illnesses, unforeseen family stuff, travel, etc. It's been freeing. Without that anxiety, I am actually running faster, and doing more workouts how I "feel," rather than how I "should." If that makes sense.
Okay...here are the workouts!
Monday - 8 @ 8:43 on the treadmill. Getting started on this one was mentally taxing, but I made it happen.
Tuesday - 5.3 @ 8:16 on my favorite local loop. I didn't intend to run this one so fast, and didn't really realize what had happened until I downloaded my watch data.
Wednesday - 70-minute yoga class in the early morning. Then, I stayed in my yoga pants for the work day (I KNOW). On my way home, I had to stop at Target, which just so happens to be riiiiiiight next to the entrance to a local trail system. I did a quick 4 @ 8:09 and it barely added any extra time to my commute.
Thursday - 6.1 @ 9:09 on the dirt trails at Veteran's Park.
Friday - Rest, for travel.
Saturday - 6 @ 8:48 on extremely hilly paved roads. Traffic was challenging. Not in the good way.
Sunday - 5.2 @ 8:29 on the same damn hills. Only I made more of an effort to avoid more trafficked roads.
Totals - 35 miles of running, one yoga class, several injury prevention sessions that I didn't log. I think I also did a bench press workout but I can't remember :(
Have a great week!
