Some Sort of 5K Training: Week Who-knows-what/Who-knows-what

 Week-Beginning Thoughts:

Not sure what I'm going to do this week. I kinda wanna push myself a bit to see if it's worth signing up for a 3/9 race, but I've been feeling just a little "off" the past few days. 

Monday
Plan: rest/yoga
Did: 3.2mi @ 9:52/mi avg, Zoo walk
Felt alright on this run, but it got a bit harder at the end and I saw a HR in the 190s, so I'm not sure what's up... 

Tuesday

Plan: 10KT  easy, push last 2

Did: 4.22mi @ 8:53/mi avg + 2.02mi with stroller @ 10:27/mi avg

Woke up to my 10KTuesday alarm with a headache and decided to skip the group run this morning. Felt better throughout the day and opted to make the hashtag happen between work, kids, and chorus. I got a nice solo 4+ in before grabbing a kiddo and doing some stroller miles on the greenway. 

Wednesday

Plan: LIIFTMore

Did: LIIFTMore and 4.03mi @ 8:56/m avg

Afternoon run = so much faster than AM... 

Thursday

Plan: I don't think I really had one

Did: random triceps lifting during Jeopardy!

It's hard to run without a training partner in town. Opted to sleep in after a late night out for work and that was good. 

Friday

Plan: 4-5mi easy
Did: LIIFTMore Back/Triceps + 2.07mi @ 8:48/mi avg

Morning lifting followed by a quick run. I think I run SO much faster after my legs have been warmed up through the day or by lifting early... 

Saturday

Plan: nope
Did:  LIIFTMore Shoulders, JMYB, Chorus

Slept in after a date night, did a workout with my husband, then had 8 hours of show chorus rehearsal.  

Sunday

Plan: solid effort 5.5 with stroller

Did: 5.25mi @ 10:00/mi avg with stroller

Woke up after a not great night of sleep and finally got out for some mileage with my littlest in the stroller (hasn't happened in FOREVER). It wasn't a super fast run, but it was fun despite the gravel trail. 

Total Weekly Mileage: 20.79 (not bad for being solo most of it)

Week-Ending Thoughts:
I'm struggling hard with trying to do too much and having the things I care about happen at the same times... Definitely not interested in a hard 5K next weekend.
