Well it has been a good week. Life is continuing. With kind of a crazy end of summer we're moving into a pretty good fall. I don't have any complaints.
Monday = Rest
Tuesday = Ran 6 miles with an average pace of 9:39
I was so proud I got out by 5 AM and got six miles in. I got into work at a decent time.
Wednesday = Ran 4 miles (Intervals in the park)
I ran in the afternoon. I love running one afternoon a week--one less morning I have to get up super early. I ran a warm up at a slower pace. Then I did 4 x 2 laps at the park with a one lap recovery in between. The weather was perfect. I did not swim because my swim friends are out of town and the lockers rooms and bathrooms are closed.
Thursday = Weights at the gym. I got there close to 5:15 and got in a workout in. Again made it to work on time.
Friday = Rest. I wanted to run or go to the gym. Thursday evening was kind of rough and I did not sleep very well. I woke up a little emotional and not feeling the greatest.
Saturday = Stationary Bike for 35 minutes in the afternoon
Sunday = 12 miles! Yay I made 12 miles! My average pace was around 9:40--probably slight slower at the end. It was hard at times. My stamina was not great. I was very nervous because I have not run this far since the marathon in 2015. For the past three years anytime I go over nine miles I have major knee issues. I end up reducing my mileage. Actually I have never stuck with a training plan for this long since I did the Minneapolis Marathon in 2015. I am thrilled my knee is holding up fine. The PT exercises are making a difference.
