So it looks like with all of the craziness of RnRAZ, I missed Week 10 Recap. In a nutshell:
Week 10
Sunday, 1/12–Cross Training Day, 12 miles on the bike
Monday, 1/13–Rest Day
Tuesday, 1/14–Tempo 5 miler
Wednesday, 1/15–Typically, this is my speed day but my husband had to work late. I did 4 miles when he got home at a faster pace than usual for this distance. 8:30/mile pace. It was hard!
Thursday, 1/6–Cross Training Day, 10 miles on the bike
Friday, 1/17–Rest Day
Saturday, 1/18–Warm up 2 miler for #megsmiles
Week 11
Sunday, 1/19–RnR Arizona 1/2 Marathon!! Read all about it here 🙂
Monday, 1/20–Rest day. My husband went out of town this day for the rest of the week so I knew I wouldn’t be able to run. It worked out because I was forced to let myself recover from the half. I needed it. I knew that if he was here, I would have been back out running and not giving myself the rest I needed.
Tuesday-Thursday, 1/21-23–I did several Blogilates videos at home when the kids were in bed.
Friday, 1/24–Husband came home!! I immediately handed the kids over and went for a 2 mile run. When I got back, my daughter was saying, “Out!” So, I put her in the jogger and went for a 1 mile jog with her for a total of 3 miles. Boy, it felt good to be back out there.
Saturday, 1/25–18 MILES!!! I was worried about this long run all week. It was on my training plan, but I was concerned that since I hadn’t run all week (since the 1/2 on Sunday) I wouldn’t be able to make the full 18 miles or that I would really struggle. Luckily, a girl in my run club also had an 18 miler in her plan so we made a date to run together. It made the run sooo much easier and even though our times weren’t the best, we had a blast chatting it up and enjoying our beautiful Arizona weather.
I hope everyone had a great week!!
–How was your running week?
–Did you have a Saturday long run?
–Do you like running with a buddy or are you a solo runner? (I typically run by myself but this long run needed a partner 🙂 )
It’s always great to run with someone else! I very rarely get to do that but when I do I really enjoy it. I had a great running week, though it was all inside on my treadmill, I still managed to squeek out 16km!
How are you liking your new treadmill? 🙂
Loving it!!!! (thanks)
Way to go! I’m still resting, but I did get in a 5 miler yesterday since we had nice weather in Texas this weekend. Afterwards I promptly got a fever and a cold. So I guess my body is telling me to rest a little longer!
Hope you feel better soon!!
I did my longest run on a treadmill this weekend, 13 miles!
You are kicking so much butt! I love it!
I am usually a lone wolf when I run, but yesterday I actually spent a bit of time running near people and exchanging a few words. It was a nice change!
And no Saturday long run for me. I was getting ready for yesterday. 🙂
