Weekly Workout 04/01/2019

Good morning all...

This is Taper Week for me...

Monday-still dealing with a leg pain so I took today off

Tuesday-Going to run only 3 miles

Wednesday-Swam 1 mile but was really slow..ughh..48:45

Thurs/Friday--thinking about just going to the gym and sitting in the steam room or using the warm pool to do scissor kicks

Saturday-Andrew Jackson Half Marathon

Sunday-3 or 4 mile recovery run

Best of luck on your half this coming weekend - my hubby ran one Sunday. I have endless admiration for runners - I hate running.

Down to brass tacks here - I fly to Salt Lake for my next national even on 4/12 so I'm in the throes of beating myself to death with training.

Monday - lesson and fence 3 hours

Tuesday - Pilates 1 hour and Cross fit 1 hour

Wednesday - fence 2.5 hours

Thursday - Personal trainer - upper body work 1 hour plus 1 hour cross fit

Friday - Pilates 1 hour

Saturday - Cross fit - 1 hour

Sunday - small tournament - warm up for nationals fence 3 hours

Really wishing the east coast would pick a season - it was 75 on Saturday and 20 with the windchill this morning.

Have a great week all!

Finally had a run where I didn't hate myself, this weekend. Gonna try to keep that going.

Monday-gym and indoor row, 3 mile walk

Tuesday-5 mile run (the rest of the week is basically determined by how this goes)

Wednesday- gym, 4 mile run

Thursday-5 mile run?

Friday-gym

Saturday-hoping to get two hours on trails

Sunday-hoping to not be in pain.

Well not sure what my work out will be since i am recovery from my 30k race and the last 8 was murder for me. This was my 7 time doing this race and never had such a bad race. Started out nice and strong. Worked at my stride and i see in pictures my stride was good but at 21 i think with the cold and the strong winds my legs said enough. I went to 5 and 1 and by the time i got to 5k i could not run. I could not feel my legs or my feet. i walked it. I had not been able to fuel the days before not well and did not eat well the morning of the race 2 bananas just don't do it Learned how important fueling the body is

Monday walking

Tue more walk

wed light work out in the gym

Thursday easy spin

Friday barre class

sat nice long walk

sunday rest

How cold was it?

we woke up to snow on the ground. Not sure of the temp. but that was not the reason i could not feel my legs. they were done. at one point i tried to run and i put my foot down and my leg started to go out from under me.

Wow..thats scary..

it is a lesson on how important fueling is leading up to a race and fueling the morning of the race. 2 bananas 2 and half hour before the race and that is it will not carry you through a 30k race

I typically dont eat anything before the race. I eat my Carmalitos during with a Salt Tab if its hot...I do drink lots of water and carb load a few days before.

So, I've been MIA for a while. Super busy getting ready for Nationals for my dogs, still a month away but I've seem to hit my stride for training with them. Shoulder is almost 100%, still doing lighter workouts and have managed to lose a pound! WOOT!!

Monday- Walked over 6 miles, drank 116oz of water, strength training for 30 minutes plus worked the dogs

Tuesday- Walked over 6 miles, drank 127oz of water plus worked the dogs

Wednesday- Walked over 5.5 miles, drank 116oz of water, strength training for 30 minutes plus worked the dogs

Thursday- Walked over 5 miles, drank 96oz of water, plus worked the dogs

Friday- Walked over 6 miles, drank 120oz of water plus worked the dogs

Saturday- Walked over 5 miles, drank 112oz of water, plus worked the dogs

Sunday- Walked 4 plus miles, drank 84 oz (kinda low for me), only worked 1 dog today, no bike ride due to back stain...

Lots of time spent working and running dogs in agility, tracking plus other stuff.
