Not Training for Anything Week 1/3

Week-beginning Thoughts:

Three weeks 'til the half marathon I signed up for last year. I wrote myself a training plan, but just don't have the motivation to execute or try. I think I'm just working on progressing too many things right now to want to work at marathoning or training. 

Monday

Did: MBFW1 Upper

Crazy hungry today, and ate so many granola bars from work :P 

Legs are soo sore from yesterday's lifting. This makes me happy. 

Had a crazy day, but still hit up the weights for my upper body after putdown. 

Tuesday

DId: 6.3mi @ 9:39/mi avg

Easy 10K with the crew

Wednesday

Did: 1mi WU, 3mi tempo, 1mi CD = 5.18mi @ 8:41/mi avg

I'm starting to get into a routine for my off Wednesdays and have a route to run after daycare drop-off, which is great. 

Miles felt so easy. It's nice to feel confident again: 9:08/ 8:37/ 8:20/ 8:06 /9:06

Thursday

Did: 2mi WU, 4x400, 2x200, 1.66mi CD = 6.36mi @ 8:52/mi avg

Today was the first arm sleeves day of the season. Hooray, cooler weather. I opted for a shorter track workout, thinking I'd do 4x400.

1:38- felt easy? 

1:43- didn't feel slower than the first lap, but was by a good bit

1:40

1:43

Not the greatest splits, but I also had 9:22 as my slowest "recovery" 400 pace, so obviously this weather is impacting me a lot. I'm sure I could've done them faster if I'd actually recovered.

I didn't feel like I'd reached a point where the workout pushed me into productive mode, so I tacked on 2x200 at the end (46 and 47s, respectively), which made me feel proud and accomplished for the day. 

Friday

Did: MBF Core

Saturday

Did: 10.22mi @ 9:43/mi avg

Nice run with my TP. 

Sunday

Did: 4.08mi @ 9:08/mi avg

OMG, today was just ideal running weather. So much joy in these miles today.

Total Weekly Mileage: 32,1
