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.
Weekly Mileage: 19.6 running miles and 2 days
of sand volleyball.
