This week was another good stepping stone towards getting back to where I was fitness wise. I upped the mileage slightly from last week, and got out for runs on my own almost everyday which is good. The weather is a huge factor in training at this time of the year and I'm really starting to hate everything about winter. But I know that once summer comes I'll be complaining about the heat so whatever just gotta suck it up and stop complaining. Between running, classes, going to the gym, and work most of my time is accounted for during the week which is good because it keeps me in a routine. Anyway heres how my week of training ended up:
Sunday: I went 6.5 miles in 44:30 this day, The roads were pretty icy and I actually slipped and fell on some ice at one point. Got a couple scrapes but not a big deal. Also did 9miles on the bike and some core
Monday: Went 5.5 miles today in 37 minutes. Did a town loop plus I added on a bit, was trying to get to 6 but ended up being less. I'm happy with the effort today though. Ran on the elliptical later on for 30minutes
Tuesday: Today was one of those days that brings your confidence way up only to let you down. I felt extremely good and smooth the whole run. Ran the same loop as yesterday a minute faster. Did the bike again later on for 9miles plus core
Wednesday: Today I paid for feeling good yesterday. Felt really crappy so I only lasted 5miles in 35min.
Thursday: Today was another good day. Ran 6.5miles in 45minutes. Had to hold myself back from really pounding the run out and having another day like yesterday tomorrow.
Friday: Ran 6miles in 41minutes. Did the run before class so I was a little tired but ended up being fine after a few miles.
Saturday: Today I finally got a reprieve from running on my own and ran with the high school team. They were only doing 4 so I added on with matt borowski. Ended up doing 6 in 41minutes
Week Total: 41miles
I'm very happy with this week, besides Tuesday I didn't get ahead of myself. I just have to be content with gradually increasing my mileage and pace and eventually I'll be back into good form. Plus once the weather gets better and I have people to run with I'll benefit from all these cold runs on my own.
