This was a tough week. Getting back into regular exercise means that I am kind of a nightmare in some respects for two weeks. My emotions resemble roller coasters and I had a meltdown of epic proportions followed by a run on Monday. All told. It was a decent week in most respects and I am putting things in motion to make next week even smoother.
This week I started my first week of coached running in over a week and I am so glad Coach Runacious (www.facebook.com/runacious) stuck with me, after I got the time wrong and appeared late two weeks ago. Kudos to her - she is nice, calm, and pushes me without adding extra stress.
My paces are pretty consistent at this point and they are not where I know they could be. Right - I am building the base and trusting my coach to help the speed return. Apparently, I am healthy enough to add back in mileage and not crash. I think the trick was cutting out dairy. :) Stay Tuned.
Monday - 2.78 miles and myrtl
Tuesday - 3.03 miles and strides (I am pretty sure I messed up the stride length, but it felt good to do some speed work!)
Wednesday - 3.33 on a stationary bike, since the Elliptical was occupied. Looking back on it, this was probably a better choice for where I am training wise.
Thursday - 3.27 mile + PiYo (eek - lunges get me all the time)
Friday - Rest (I was feeling the PiYo)
Saturday - 5 miles + myrtl
I may or may not do some cross training tomorrow. If I can work out the soreness from PiYo, then I will for sure.
Nope - this post does not have a bunch of pictures, but I will leave you with this Instagram Sunset photo from Tuesday. Next week - I will try to post a bit more, but my focus is on getting in the training, recovery, and sleep. Instagram will be active, though, and I will post at least once a week here!
Happy Saturday :)
