Running Recap Finally!

Hi everyone!

Trying to get back to semi-frequent posting about my running progress, so here is a recap of last week! Being down the cape was really fun, but getting back to my normal routine was necessary after a week of indulgences so I decided to hit it hard.

Recap:

Monday: 5 miles outside before work (nice spring of the moment decision to skip the gym and run!)

Tuesday: 5.2 miles outside again

Wednesday: 3.1 HIIT in the gym and a lift! (check out my friend/EnergyBits ambassador Morganne's Tank Top Arm Circuit!)

Thursday: 4.5 miles outside

Friday: day off (food poisoning fun!)

Saturday: 2.35 miles in the gym!

Total: 20 miles!!

I was pretty damn pumped I must say. That is the most I've ever done in one week.

So now I'm on vacation again! Down in Florida then heading to the Bahamas on Monday until Saturday. Hoping to get in some workouts while I'm on the ship!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Father's Day Running Update

I totally forget what week I am since I have completely abandoned that schedule...oh well!

Anyways I feel as if I haven't done a workout recap in a few weeks so here we go! Lately, I have been working out with Marisa and this week wasn't too run heavy, but still super hard!

Monday: 1.75 miles + bike + arms

Tuesday: 3 fast miles w/ HIIT +abs

Wednesday: 15 minutes arc trainer/15 minutes bike+lift

Thursday: 1 mile run + legs/abs

Friday: Rest

Saturday: 3x1600 on the track + lift

=ran about 8.75 miles this week definitely the lowest total mileage in a while, but that's okay I think my body needed the rest from running!

Picking it back up hard this week with hopefully a long run mixed in since it finally doesn't seem like it's going to rain everyday.

Also I got new spandex so that's exciting:

Sports Authority had a sale

Hope everyone's weekend is going great and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD! :)

Week 5 Recap

Hi I can't believe it has been 5 weeks since I started this blog/running plan! 

So I'm supposed to of hit 8 miles by yesterday, and it still hasn't happened. I get nervous thinking that I can't do it so I haven't yet, but it's coming soon. I realized that I think I'm just going to loosely follow the training plan and not worry about running specific days, but running at least 2-3x a week with a long run as well. Anyways here is how last week broke down:

Sunday: 1 mile to the gym, Treadmill Run/Walk 1 mile , Track workout: 5x320m sprints with a 160m walk in between

Monday: 4 miles outside finally!

Tuesday: 1 mile to the gym, then hard lift 

Wednesday: off (packing fun!)

Thursday: 3 miles HIIT on the treadmill

Friday: 10k (6.2 miles) on the treadmill

Saturday: off (worked 9 hours)

Total: 17.2 miles 

Not too bad for mileage this week. Gotta hit up a longer run though soon! In the meantime have a great week everyone :)

Runnin' and week 2 recapin'

This was a emotional week and the only thing I could think of doing was running. Almost everyday. I couldn't fathom doing any other type of cardio. So this week was run heavy (even though most were short and broken up) #RunForBoston

Sunday: Ran a mile to the gym. The foot still hurt a bit so I didn't do as much

Monday: 2 miles on the indoor track

Tuesday: 2 miles on the treadmill, one on the indoor track

Wednesday: 2.7 miles to Big Y, rest, and another mile home

Thursday: 1 mile to the gym, 2.62 on the treadmill with some walking

Friday: Rest [Group Meetings all day woo]

Saturday: 5 miles turned into 6 when I got lost at Amherst College.

Total: 18 miles

Here is a really attractive picture of me before my run today:

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
