Saturday
Long run day! 8 miles done.
As you can see from these splits, this run was all over the place. The run started out okay, but as it went on I really started to struggle. There were several walk breaks thrown in, especially during the last mile when I developed a stitch in my left side (this on top of my hips feeling tight. Yay fun). Still, 8 miles with most of it a sub-10 minute pace is nothing to sneeze at so I’m not beating myself up (too much).
Also on Saturday – 75 minutes mixed level yoga and a 2:10.9 plank.
Sunday
Rest Day
Plank a day: 2:16.1
The Good: Made all scheduled runs (at the prescribed distance, of course), plank every day. Also took rest/skipped planned workouts when my body was telling me to instead of when the training plan said to.
The Bad Not As Good: Slacked off a bit on the stretching and only made two yoga classes instead of three (too sore Wednesday night, plus the weather was crappy and I didn’t feel like going back out).
What’s Next?: 4 running days (1 speed workout, 1 long run, 2 regular runs), 3 yoga classes (2 Power Sessions, one other class), 1 weights workout and hopefully a spin class. Stretch, foam roll, repeat.
Now it’s your turn! How was your week in workouts? Any big accomplishments or setbacks?

Wow! You are my hero! I’ve been negotiating with myself pretty much every day and will admit to having tweaked my training program this week. Well, tomorrow starts another week to get it right. Thanks for the inspiration!
