- 40 minutes strength training DVD
- 4 easy TM miles, 1% incline @ 9:50 AP
- abs with 3x1 min planks
The DVD goes through various strengthening exercises using a medicine ball. Well, they're more like dynamic stretching than static movements and it was just what I needed! I had weird aches in my back and right quad/hamstring and they were all gone by time the video was over. The run felt great. I continued with my Once Upon A Time series while running on the TM. I only let myself watch it if I'm on the TM to make it more more appealing...it works! | |

- 1 hour recorded spin session in the spinning room
- abs with 2 x 1 min plank
- foam rolling, concentrating on keeping the calves loose (no more achilles injuries here EVER)
I prefer the live classes, but it's so nice to have this option! The best part is I don't have to fight for the huge ceiling fan in the corner.
I want to try for 25 miles this week, so if my legs will allow it, I'll shoot for a 2-3 mile TM run later today. | |

- 4 miles, 1400 south and back, AP 9:58
- abs with 2x1 min planks
- foam rolling
This run has a steady incline for 1 mile and then a decline for 1 mile and then I turn around and do the exact route back. I try to keep the ups and downs the same pace or better on the way back. The last time I did this run, my AP was 10:10 so I was glad to end with a sub 10 AP today, although I did not like the effort it took! Feels like it should have been a lot lower. My legs are either still tired from the week or I'm still really out of shape...probably both! But, dang it, I'm going to keep putting these slow AP's on this blog even if it kills me so I can see how far I've come! ;) 8 weeks postpartum today. But really, I haven't been in good running shape since Dec 2010 because of an achilles injury and then nursing school got intense there at the end with full-time work at the same time and then I got pregnant....(yada yada yada)...it's nice to be getting somewhere now! As of today I'm 4 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight (145) and 24 lbs from what has been my best racing weight so far (125). So I basically gained 20 pounds in a matter of months, I'm not even joking. The last 2 semesters of nursing school while not being able to run to keep sane was a personal you know what that pretty much did me in! I need my running!
Oh, I decided to not do the 2-3 miles yesterday so I could try doing an almost long run tomorrow (8 miles). I'll cut it to 6 if it's not working. Excited for my Saturday "long" run on the boulevard!

| 3 miles on pure fumes. I've bonked before, but this was a BONK! About 0.2 miles into the run (that ended in a walk) I started mentally scanning our entire fridge and pantry. After I came to the conclusion that nothing would satiate, I spent the remaining crawl to the car daydreaming about which restaurant we would go to for breakfast after I got home to drag James out of bed. CLEARLY I was hungry. I should have known better...we had a fun BBQ with friends last night and although the food was delicious (juicy cobobs, fresh fruit, crisp cabbage salad...yummy!!) this lactating runner needs more than a couple flecks of meat. Great, now no one on this blog is going to invite us to dinner for fear of dissapointing, but if you do... I beg of you, give me a huge slab of chicken breast or something!! | |
