Somebody please stop this roller coaster!! Another week, another seven days as the hormone hostage. Yes it's bad. My blood pressure has sky rocketed (as in 162/90!) and it has wiped me out. I've cut way back on my salt intake, am eating a banana every morning, and trying to find ways to eliminate stress. When I get myself out the door to run or ride, I feel SO much better. It's the getting out the door part that I failed at greatly this week. Here's to a better week next week!
Sunday: Rest Day
Result: Rested
Monday: 4 Miles Easy w/4 Strides (pace 9:58 pace)
Result: Walked 4.7 miles in 1:18:28, 16:42 pace. I had nothing!
Tuesday: 7 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Result: Rested
Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: 4 Miles w/2 Miles @ MP (marathon pace = 9:09)
Result: Rode 12.57 miles in 1:27:50, 8.6 mph
Friday: 4 Miles Easy (pace 9:58)

Saturday: 16 Miles LSD (pace 10:04-11:04)

I was determined to get my long run in this week. I started out slow, feeling very sluggish, but I just kept moving. Almost every mile was in the 10:50-11:20 pace range with one exception that was all uphill.
My blood pressure when I got home? 102/61! Yes, exercise is a must!
Total planned miles: 35
Walking: 4.7
Cycling: 12.57
Running: 16.0
Totals miles 33.27
I feel your pain sis! Hope it gets better soon.
