Weekly Recap: July 28th – Aug 2nd


Monday Gym: 4 miles (34:50 – 8:42 pace).  I did a 0.50 mile warm up, then did 0.50 speed (8:00 pace) and 0.25 recovery (9:40 pace) and the last 0.50 at a comfortable pace.  I felt really strong in this workout, like I could have done a couple more repeats.  Afterwards a few planks for good measure. 

Tuesday – Gym: 20 minutes of spin and Body Pump!

Wednesday – Lunch 2.5 miles.  Today was the first day I had to try and find my new running route for lunch breaks.  I found one that didn’t work.  Another that took me through a shit ton of bees.  But I think I have a way figured out.  Going to try it tomorrow and see if I can figure out my 0.25 mile markers.

Evening: Group Run 4 miles

Thursday – Lunch: Ran 2.5 miles.  Still perfecting the route, didn’t quite get it right today, but I have it figured out for next time!  Then it was out for 3 volleyball matches, where I played pretty well.  I had a few good hits and a couple of almost blocks.  I had my timing down and got my hands on the ball, just wasn’t far enough over the net. 

Friday – Off Day

Saturday – Melon 5K and Little’s Alzheimer’s Tournament.  The Melon Dash went really well except for my watch being dead when I got there, even though I had charged it the night before.  I think it was powered on when charging, so when I took it off the charger, it was on and drained the battery.  Either way, it was a good thing because I just ran based on feel and had no concept of pace and I did way better than I expected. (25:47 - 8:19 pace).  After that I raced home to grab Mark & Jack to get out to the Little’s volleyball tournament.  I played really good, my team lost in the championship – to Mark’s team.  But I definitely had the highlight of the day with my huge block!  And that will be talked about for a long time!!!!

Sunday – 3.5 miles.  For some reason I thought I was at 17 miles before today and only needed 3 miles to hit 20 for the week….oh well.
