My Story

3.5 miles on the treadmill today. Struggled wth my run today. It was a strength train and 3 mile run according to my training plan. I started beach body's 21 day fix today. I think it was the total body circuit, and then came home to do my run. I definitely need to start the day with my run as that is my actual priority.  I was just totally fatigued and slow for the run, didn't feel strong at any point today. 3.0 miles in 27:35. I only did 1.31 at 3% grade and had to finish out at 2%. I did run my second to last lap at 7.3 and last lap at an 8. But had to stop and rest before I could do my cool down. I decided to do a half mile cool down because I was hoping to work out some of the soreness I am anticipating for tomorrow. First cool down lap at a 3.7 walk and last lap at a 5 mph to work out some of the acid. Feeling committed to the program right now. Hope to keep it up!

XT day. 90 minutes of volleyball. 4:4. Better play this week. Felt more like a work out. It was good to help my legs work out a bit of the serious soreness I am feeling from yesterday. Definitely will be feeling this 21 day fix. 

3 treadmill miles. Felt amazing today. Felt strong, improved my time a little bit and didn't hate every step! 26:10 for 3 miles at 3% incline. So grateful for the treadmill, outside weather was decent to run but just so much easier to let the girls play instead of pushing them in the stroller. :)

21 day fix of upper focus today. I did not use weights but still feel a little sore. Did feel energized today rather than just exhausted. Such a great feeling. 

Rest day, but did 33 minute 21 day fix Pilates. Great core workout!

Woohoo!!! 5 miles on the treadmill. So excited!! Slower pace but felt great and honestly felt like I could keep going. Such a great feeling! Did take a 3 minute break right after the first mile at 3% incline and 6.5 mph. My daughter woke up, so I just got a pacifier and put her my bed and she went right back to sleep (thank heavens!!). Ran last 4 at 6.4 mph and 2% incline.  Put in a good push the last .5 mile. Finished in 46:30. .25 cool down to keep legs going. Sorry, but it was just a good running day. I know I am still not competitve endurance or speed wise, but still.... It just felt so dang good. 

Also lower leg fix from 21 Day Fix  wow... My legs are feeling about like lead weights, but feeling pretty good about these one ton ers  haha   

2 mile recovery run. Actually ran second as a threshold mile. 8:57 first mile then 7:40 for second mile. Felt great. Ready for a rest day tomorrow.
