Galloway Half Training: Week 5/12

Week-Beginning Thoughts:
I feel like I'm so out of touch with training due to that vacation... Oh well. I'm still running well enough, healthy, and feeling proud. Maybe this is the week I'll turn that around and get back on the plan? 

Week 5

Monday
Plan: rest/yoga
Did: nada

Tuesday

Plan: 1mi WU, 20min of 200m hill, 20min of 400m hill, 1mi CD

Did: 6.33mi @ 9:53/mi avg

Rainy, colder, and celebrated TP's birthday instead of doing hills today. 

Wednesday

Plan: LIIFTMore

Did: LIIFTMore Quads/Hams

Thursday

Plan: 1.5mi WU, 4x400, 1.5mi CD

Did: as scheduled = 5.12mi @ 9:25/mi avg

This was just what I needed to get back in the right head space-- just a bit of structure, and no time to hit. Splits worked out really nicely, though:

1:51.9 / 1:48.7 / 1:44.9 / 1:42.1

I was just hoping for under 2:00. 

Friday

Plan: 4-5mi easy
Did: 4.21mi @ 9:23/mi avg

So glad I got up and ran this morning :) 

Saturday

Plan: 10mi easy
Did: 12.15mi @ 9:48/mi avg

Long run today :) 

Sunday

Plan: solid effort 5.5 with stroller

Did: 3.19mi @ 10:00/mi avg

Too cold/windy for a comfortable stroller run, but went out for 2mi with my older kid, and then a 1mi "tempo". 

Total Weekly Mileage: 31
