This Weeks Workout

I actually didn't work out as much as I wanted this week. I took two days off since my husband who has been working like a mad man and had a break. So here is what I accomplished this week.

Oh and I start my workout week on Saturdays. :)

 

Saturday, August 3

12 miles completed in 2:03. I felt awesome up till the last 20 minutes and I got a cramp and goose bumped. I ran the entire way minus the killer hill at the very end.

Can you see where I had to walk?

 

 

 

Average 10:15 mile which is AWESOME for me. My average pace has been 12:45.

So there is improvement.

Reflections

Overall all I'm happy with my workout this

week. I wish I got one more day in. I really expected to get several miles in on Monday but my body told me no and I listened.

 I ran on some beat shoes and they really pained my shins.  I am hoping to start building my mileage back in the next week or so after I seriously baby them. I'm taking it easy right now..

 

Next week, since I'm only doing short runs, I think I'm gong to try and extend my "fast time" by 30 seconds so I will walk 1 minute at a 15 minute pace and then run at a 7:30 pace for a minute and a half. I really, really have enjoyed doing these intervals and I feel like it is really making my heart strong. I am not getting winded up on street runs.

 

I also need to invest in more weights. The only set I have is 5lbs. 5 libs is not going to help me real my goal.

 

 

Little by little I'm seeing changes.
