Weekly Workout Schedule – 8.12.13
Now that I’m officially training for my fall half marathon, I figured I’d start my weekly workout schedules again. I feel like they are a good way to re-cap my workouts and keep track of my miles. Last week’s schedule Monday – 60 min body pump Tuesday – 3 mi run + 19 mi bike ride Wednesday – Rest Thursday – 2.8 mi run + 2 mile walk Friday – Rest Saturday – 7 mi run + 2 mi walk Sunday – 20.5 mi bike ride Saturday I went on another long run, which was supposed to be around 6 miles. I was just going to run for an hour,…

Future Running Plans
It’s been awhile since I’ve discussed running. That is mostly because it’s been over six weeks since I last ran. Here’s a quick update. My foot has gotten SO MUCH BETTER. I’ve been wearing a pair of trail running shoes with my orthotics around the office and even though they don’t look great with my outfits, they are so comfortable. Even though its been six weeks, I don’t miss running that much. This is because its just been too darn hot and I feel thankful that I don’t have to run in it. Plus, I think I was getting burnt out after marathon training for what seemed like ages. I’m…

When Things Don’t Go As Planned
I’m feeling pretty down about marathon training lately. Right now I’m supposed to be deep in training, running 30+ miles a week, running strong and getting faster. Instead, I’m behind on my long runs and struggling to get through my week day runs. Lately my left calf has been bothering me. I’m assuming its because since my right foot has been fighting PF, my left leg is making up for it. I attempted a run last night but instead of struggling through five miles, I stopped after a half a mile and opted for a stretch session of a warm vinyasa yoga class, which was probably a really great decision.…
