1 Week 'til Peachtree

 Week-Beginning Thoughts:

Based on last week, focusing on improving speed is NOT what I should be doing. This week will be focused on fitness, cross-training, and mild cardio. 

Monday
Planned: 30min core workout, one-arm lifting, 30min walk

Did: 20min lifting, 20min HIIT, 50 sit-ups

Tuesday

Planned: easyish 10K Tuesday

Did: as scheduled, 6.22mi @ 9:45/mi avg

Wednesday

Planned: 30-40min core/lifting or 3-4mi easy

Did: 20min lifting, 1hr walk

Thursday

Planned: 800m WU, 8x1min hard/1min easy, 800m CD

Did: 1mi WU, 10x1min hard/1min easy, 1mi CD = 4.85mi @ 9:09/mi avg

Not tapering for the race, I opted for a slightly longer workout today. No pace plans, just "go by feel". Evidently, my "feel" is a bit miscalibrated, because I wound up with "hard" paces around 7:00 and easy around 8:45-9:30/mi. 

Fortunately, no ill effects from this one. Perhaps this is the way for me to get a better time at Ptree, if I want to... 

Friday

Planned: 3mi easy

Did: 5.01mi @ 9:57/mi avg

Opted to run today and really enjoy the holiday weekend with family, including sleeping in and partaking in delicious coffee and breakfast moments. 

Saturday

Planned: 3-4mi easy

Did: rest

Sunday

Planned: walking and lifting

Did: bit of walking forPeachtree Junior and some light lifting

Weekly Mileage: 16.1

Week-Ending Thoughts:

Hoping for a good Peachtree tomorrow...
