My saddest running week yet. My husband arrived home last night from an overseas business trip. He'd been gone since last weekend....which cut into two weekends worth of runs. I hired a sitter last Sunday (to get my run in), again on Monday (for spinning class), and yet again on Wednesday (for my track workout). Since the babysitter is already walking around with $50 that I could have spent on winter running pants, I hoped to squeeze my Sat. run in after the Hubby got home.
Well, that was a mistake. I hadn't seen him in over a week. His plane was delayed and it was already dark when he got home....and anyway... wild horses couldn't have dragged me away from him.
So here it is Coach D....... This week's miles......only 7.
Goal | Actual | |
Mon | 1hr Spin Class | 1 hr Spin Class |
Tues | Weights at Gym | |
Wed | Track Workout | Track Workout (3miles) |
Thur | Treadmill (45min) | no run - nursed my knee |
Fri | Rest | |
Sat | 3 miles | no run - poor planning |
Sun | 4 miles | 4 miles |
My miles seem to be going in the wrong direction. Here are my weeks' totals so far.
Week 1......10 miles
Week 2......12 miles
Week 3......10 miles
Week 4.......9 miles
This week...7 miles
I realize I've got to be more consistant than this. I will try not to have another week like this one. For weeks 3 through 5 I have fallen short of running 4 days/wk. My focus for the next few weeks will be to do all 4 runs, every week. I'm going to forget about trying to get in a weight workout for now. I don't seem to be fitting it in anyway. Spinning class...I'm going to stick with because I love it.
My goal for week 6:
Mon: 1hr Spinning Class
Tues: Treadmill (45 minutes)
Wed: Track Workout
Thur: "rain day" for Tuesday's Run
Friday: Rest
Sat: 3 miles
Sun: 4 miles
$50 for winter running pants? Yikes! Try the New Balance factory in Lawrence rather than some online company. There are always good deals out there.
Keep working on getting up to 4 runs per week. It'll get easier as it becomes part of your life....
