This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

M2T W4 Results

I had a much better week!  I didn't follow the plan exactly, but I felt like I was back on track.  I'm really enjoying riding my bike a couple times a week on easy days.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Result:  Walked 4.41 miles in 1:19:09, 15:44 pace.  I realized that I am not a fast walker, I have a hard time staying focused on moving fast when I walk.

Monday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result:  Rode 10.06 miles on the trail in 1:05:38, 9.2 mph

Tuesday:  5 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Result:  5.03 miles on the trail, in 57:54, 11:30 pace

Wednesday:  Time Trial
Result:  Rested.  I hadn't taken a day off since last Friday and my feet were a little sore from the trail.

Thursday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result:  Rode 8.77 miles easy in 43:33, 12.1 mph

Friday:  4 Miles Easy (pace 10:04)
Result: 10.00 miles in 1:50:46, 11:04 pace.
I knew I couldn't do my long run on Saturday, so I switched it to Friday this week.
I feel like I'm repeating myself, but my left leg is still not completely healed from that silly cartwheel!  I was okay for the first 5 miles or so, then my left leg, from the glute to my calf, got really tight and painful.  I stopped to stretched several times and that helped some.


Saturday:  10 Miles LSD  (pace 10:04-11:04)
Result:  Rested.  I have to be on the road before 7:00, so switching my long run to yesterday was the best option.

Total planned miles:  30
Running/Walking:   19.44
Cycling:  18.83
Total miles:  38.27
