Walt Wednesday

Some people do a "Wordless Wednesday" post, where they simply share a photo or image, but I thought I'd make a little series out of my Wednesdays. And since I love alliteration so much, why not go with Walt Wednesdays (obviously everyone can use a little break from the seriousness, scariness and sassiness of life - and what better way to help put a smile on your face than with a cute wiener dog picture, am I right?!)... So, without further ado...

WALT WEDNESDAY!

When life gets overwhelming, how do you de-stress?

Workout Recap - Week 34

Sunday, August 14th – 3 mile run with the hubby

Monday, August 15th – 5 mile run

Tuesday, August 16th – Rest Day

Wednesday, August 17th – 8 mile run

Thursday, August 18th –  Rest Day

Friday, August 19th – 4.25 mile run with the hubby

Saturday, August 20th – Rest Day

The hubby, pup and I went camping at June Lake this week (Wednesday evening through Sunday), so I swapped my runs around a bit (my "long run" of 8 mile was technically supposed to be Sunday, but I wasn't sure after a long weekend away and then being in the car for 7+ hours how I'd feel about doing it, so I did it before we left). Technically I "missed" a three mile run and a cross-training day in there, but we did a ton of paddle boarding on the lakes, so I'm going to consider that my cross-training ;) Definitely need to start incorporating speedwork into the routine now that CIM is only 100 days away.

How were your workouts this past week?

Workout Recap - Week 33

Sunday, August 7th – 5 mile run with the hubby

Monday, August 8th – Rest Day

Tuesday, August 9th – 3 mile run

Wednesday, August 10th – 5 mile run

Thursday, August 11th –  3 mile progression run

Friday, August 12th – 5 mile run

Saturday, August 13th – 11 mile run

I switched around my runs a bit this week because next week the hubby and I will be going camping for our anniversary so I thought I'd shift things up so I could get my long run done before we leave next week. Instead of a cross training day on Monday, I moved my rest day from Friday to Monday and then moved up my Saturday and Sunday runs to Friday and Saturday. I know, I know, you shouldn't get rid of a rest day, but I think at this point in my training (only two weeks into the 16 week plan) it's okay. Also, right now I am still doing very easy paced runs (trying to ease back into everything after being off for four weeks prior to my 100-miler due to a broken rib and then taking off two complete weeks after my race).

Workout Recap - Week 32

Sunday, July 31st – 6.46 mile run

Monday, August 1st – 80 minutes on the bike

Tuesday, August 2nd – 3 mile run

Wednesday, August 3rd – 5 mile run

Thursday, August 4th –  3 mile run

Friday, August 5th – Rest Day

Saturday, August 6th – 10 mile run

Don't call it a comeback... call it a slow and steady build-up. Monday technically started my training plan for CIM in December (I also have the New York City Marathon in November, but I plan on using that "just as a training run" because the point of that race is to soak up every single sight and sound that I can - I will NOT be running that one for a fast time). I have been going slow and long for the last two-ish years, so seeing some speedwork on my schedule may have me a bit intimidated, but I keep telling myself that if I want to run with my best friend come December I need to put in the work or he will leave me in his dust.(We have a goal time in mind, but are planning to reassess come the end of August to see if we think that it will be a reality with how everything is going at that point. #WishMeLuck #AndSpeedyLegs)
