Sunday's training run was one of the most fun I've had in a while.
At 6:30am, June, Sarah, Cassie and I met at the Tennis Court. I was to do 10, and the others wanted to get in 13. Off we went and we actually kept the same pace until mile 5, in which I branched off and started back. They went for another mile and then followed. The first 5 miles was a 12:45-13 minute mile pace (not stopping the watch for water and gu breaks). The second 5 miles (solo) were slower, which is fine with me. I'm concentrating on getting my miles back up to 30 a week, so speed isn't my goal at present. I'll work on speed in a month or so, once I'm running consistently again. I only managed two days of running last week, but 16 miles is better than the 5 and 6 I did when the weather was horrific!
This week's training (tentative, of course):
Today: Tae-bo Boot Camp (for abs, glutes and quads)
Tomorrow: 6 miles (maybe upper body at gym also)
Wednesday: Tae-bo Boot Camp (for abs, glutes and quads)
Thursday: 6 miles (maybe upper body at gym also)
Friday: 4 miles (or if I feel crappy, I'll just use the elliptical machine at the gym)
Saturday:rest
Sunday: 10 miles (and upper body at gym)
Tentative weekly mileage: 22-26, which is a big jump.
The good news is that my Achilles tendon hasn't been acting up!
Cheers!
