Plan for the Week

Last week was kind of not great in terms of cross training: 1 day of zumba and one day of yoga. The lure of the couch after work is strong. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, when get home head straight to workout clothes.

Even so I ran 28.5 miles last week including my fastest mile in a long time 8:46. #RWStreakExtreme is going strong.

On the Agenda for this week:
Mon: 1 mile plus xtrain of some kind (maybe strength)
Tues: 4 miles easy and yoga
Wed: 7 hilly miles and yoga
Thurs: 1 mile and xtrain
Friday: 6 miles with 2 at a faster tempo
Saturday: Breeze in the Trees 5K sub 30 minute attempt. Woot Woot
Sunday: LSD 13 miles + napping


Fun Fact: D bought me an iphone. Whooeeee


I immediately had to obtain an otterbox case because it is not if but when will I drop it. So this is what I will be doing with my free time. 

Yesterday D and I celebrated our Anniversary by going to The Melting Pot
where I ignored D and played with my new iphone (I had to check in on foursquare, hello). Just kidding but I did annoy him by taking some pictures


The restaurant put an anniversary card at our table. So cute. But that is it for photos because I was way too busy stuffing my face to take other pictures. A really great anniversary day and thank you to all the well wishers for thinking of us!

    Happy anniversary! I love all that yoga in your plan, and where did you get that awesome otter box cover??? I run with my phone in my bra, and I can only do that because of otter box. It still gets a little water in it sometimes, but not as bad as it would. I'm on otter box #2 because my twins destroyed the first one.

      I am impressed by your twins. They should be the test for all things claiming to be indestructible. I ordered it off their website. I think they might be new http://www.otterbox.com/apple-iphone-4s-cases/apple-iphone-4s-cases,default,sc.html

      Check out http://www.otterbox.com/apple-iphone-4s-cases/apple-iphone-4s-cases,default,sc.html for the case. The running streak is pretty awesome, b/c I wake up and I know it is go time for at least one mile. Plus I fear your wrath. J/K but it is motivating to know other people are doing it as well!

Training Week 10/9/2017-10/15/2017....or lack of...

Image
....not to give the ending away but this week was a bit of a bust. Last weekend I felt under the weather and by Monday- bam- felt like death. And that freakin cold was a stage 5 clinger and really lingered. SO. MUCH. COUGHING. Monday: Nothing but naps, and couch time. Luckily this guy was around to keep me company. Tuesday: A light weight workout at home. Skipped my scheduled run due to lack of ability to breath without hacking up a lung. Wednesday: Tried to get back on the wagon. Did 2 miles on the treadmill with 8 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds recovery thrown in. Coughed so hard I almost puked. Got off treadmill and laid on floor. Did manage to lift weights during lunch. Bonus points for me. Thursday: After a night of coughing, reset my alarm and slept in until 7. Ran 3 miles outside in the evening with 3 minute run/ 1 minute walk. Felt good until the last mile and then that walk break began to creep up in time as the coughing and snot production increased. But it got don...

Wisconsin Marathon Race Review

Image
First things first- I loved the Wisconsin marathon. It was a great race and I had a ton of fun. I achieved my goal of finishing in under 5 hours and I guess have a new marathon PR by about 43 minutes.....even though this one is seven years after my first marathon. Most importantly there never came a time when I was running the marathon where I regretted my decision to run one. Miles toward the end got tough and uncomfortable but as one lady I ran with exclaimed "hey we are running a marathon today! This is awesome!" It was awesome and I am super excited for my next attempt at 26.2 miles. To the details! Packet Pick-up: packet pick-up was low key at the Best Western in Kenosha the day before the race. In and out in about five minutes with number, t-shirt, cheese samples and a bag full of flyers for other races. This race has two other packet pick-ups on different days near Chicago and one near Milwaukee. They make it easy to get your number. I love the design of the ra...

The forever taper

Image
The weird thing about running all of the marathons and half marathons in a month and a half's time is that it really throws off the normal schedule of working out. I haven't been lifting cause I don't want to hurt myself and because I need all the power my under trained body can muster to finish the next two marathons on the schedule. Getting burnt out on lifting seems not smart right now.  I also haven't been running very much unless it involves a finish line and a medal because I am worried about doing too much and my tendinitis coming back and frankly I have just been tired and sore from doing a marathon and then a half back to back. I did three miles this morning and it took forever and I was just not interested in running at all. Completing three miles took all of my willpower. Not doing anything physical has left me with some extra time on my hands which I have used to catch up on some reading. This book is dark but as I read on I liked it more and ...
