5.5 miles 7:30 pace Lifted weights yesterday for the first time in months and it felt great! I was pretty sore this morning though so I just did an easy run. My plan is to gradually build up my weekly mileage to 50-60 mpw after years of only doing 0-25 mpw. The past 5.5 years have been pretty pitiful running wise because I chose not to run during my 3 pregnancies. I've gotten so sick during pregnancy and its hard for me to gain weight so my midwife advises me to save my calories for the baby. And when I have a newborn and its pretty hard for me to get motivated to run a lot due to sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, and just being busy. The only time in the past 5 years that I've run a lot was two years ago when I ran 40-45 mpw for a few months to train for the Ogden Marathon. I used to run 45-55 mpw in college and was able to stay pretty injury free at that mileage, so I'm hoping to be able to work up to 60 mpw without injury in taining for TOU. I will also start lifting a couple of times a week. I did "planks" or stability workout this morning for the first time in months and felt pretty weak. I guess I know I have room for improvement!
