Mile Training: Week 2/6

Week-beginning Thoughts:
I'm home alone with the kids all week. Let's see how this goes.

Monday
Did: Lift4 W7 legs, 4.3mi @ 8:59/mi avg
Good start to the week- leg workout in the morning with my kiddo and a surprisingly fast run while he was at a karate class.

Tuesday

Scheduled: 10KTuesday + 4x30s hill repeats
Did: as scheduled = 6.83mi @ 9:47/mi avg
10KT buddy watched the kids so I could run with the rest of the group-- <3 <3 <3

Also, legs = SO SORE

Wednesday

Scheduled: rest
Did: 2mi hike

Whelp, today's the day things went south. I took my oldest for a hike and the 27th time he slipped and fell, I went down with him... and injured my back, shoulders, and wrist. It was a not so fun trip to urgent care....

It's not broken, though, so that's a relief

Thursday

Scheduled: a real workout
Did: 3.1mi on treadmill @ 6.2mph avg (Friday's workout)
Made something happen, but didn't feel great about it.

Friday

Scheduled: 3-5mi easy
Did: nada

Nope.

Saturday

Scheduled: 10-12mi flat run 

Did: nothing

Could've made something happen, but just didn't feel like forcing it. Made French toast instead.

Sunday

Scheduled: 2mi WU, 2mi @ 5k pace, 5min jog, 4x30s HARD/90s recovery, 2mi CD

Did: as scheduled...kinda = 7.11mi @ 9:51/mi avg (lots of walking in CD)

Eating eggs for breakfast less than an hour before a hard workout was a REALLY bad decision. I felt good for the warm-up, and even alright for the first half mile of the 5K pace work... but then things got ROUGH. My second 5K pace mile was disgustingly slow that I wouldn't even call it "tempo" work, and I had to literally stop instead of the jog to determine whether or not I was going to puke. 

After a few minutes of sitting on a park bench debating, I continued the workout, with really slow jogging/recovery blocks and modest effort on the 30s bursts. The cooldown was a mix of walking and jogging ,but it got done.

And, on the bright side, my wrist injury doesn't prevent me from running. 

2mi: 7:58, 8:25

30s: 6:25/mi, 7:19/mi, 7:18/mi, 7:28/mi 

Total Weekly Mileage: 21.3

Week-ending Thoughts:
What's it like to go through multiple weeks in a row without injuries or stress? Ugh.
