Today marks one week without running. I can't wait to get back. I have to miss at least another 2 weeks. This is going to be torture! If I am allowed to run again after my next doctors appointment, I will be 60 miles behind schedule! Frightening deficit to make up and I have no guarantee that it will only be 3 weeks of now running. Anyone do the 1,000 mile challenge and have get behind? How did you make up for the missed miles?

Week 11 officially started with my 17 mile run (described in week 10). It also included all 3 resistance BBG workouts. I completed 3 out of 4 marathon training runs. I was really proud of my progress. I'm honestly surprised how much faster I've gotten. Some days I looked at the intervals and thought I'd never be able to do it. And then I do! It's been great. Well, unfortunately it hasn't all been rainbows and butterflies. My shin has been bothering me since at least the 9th. I've kept working through it but it has gotten to the point that I'm in pain throughout my workout, limping after my workout, and by Friday, limping constantly. I've hasnt helped and kinesiology tape hasn't helped. So I took Friday and Saturday off. It's really torture. I feel like I finally started to make drastic progress and now I have to stop. I only needed 4.1 miles to be at 60 for the month. But, I couldn't do it. So, now I have to wait until Wednesday and see what is going on. Please send positive vibes that it isn't a stress fracture! Since running is out of the question, I will be doing modified BBG week 12, so it is low impact. So, totals: Week 11: 30.3 - 9:36 pace Year to date total: 219 or 22% Week 10 was wild! I got behind on BBG, so I had to do two workouts per day Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. A total of 5 resistance workouts. Very tough & I think 5 resistance workouts was too much. My body is just exhausted! Running this week included a lot of intervals (which I love)! The treadmill is actually great for these because it forces me to stick at the recomended pace. I'm really looking forward to racing this year. I think I'm going to see a big drop in my times! Technically, my Sunday run was week 10 but my running app records it as week 11 so it is not included in my mileage for the week but I wanted to write about it. First, I got a new pair of running shoes! Hoka One One Cliftons and I am in LOVE! I ran my longest training run ever. It was also the fastest pace I had for 12-17 miles. I know I beat my 1/2 marathon time too, but because my app crashed (again) at the end of the run, I don't know by exactly how much. My average pace was 9:51, so I know I beat my 1/2 time by at least 4 minutes. I was going faster the first 13 miles to see if I could beat my time. I am so sad that my app crashed and didn't record the finaly results but I was able to get a screen shot before the app crashed, so at least I know pace and distance. So, totals (as of 3/14/15) 10.6 miles, 9:51 pace Month to date: 25.5 Year to date: 188 miles 💪 Keep pushing! Week 9 has come and gone! I completed all four of my marathon training runs for the week but my bikini body guide week 9 workouts carried into week 10. This morning I did week 9 abs & after work I did week 9 legs to finish out the week. My legs are puddy! I had to modify a few exercises because I only had one bench. But wow. Really hard day! Bring on week 10! Running has been going better than expected! The interval runs are very challanging but I feel so accomplished when I finish. This week is going to include some new running shoe shopping! My poor Pumas are almost dead but I'm hoping to keep them around for short races because I love the two color shoes in one pair. In week 9, I ran only 14.9 miles but my pace was much faster than usual - 8:49! 178 miles or about 18% to my goal of 1,000 miles for the year! I can't believe month 2 is over! One month left of the bikini body guide 1.0... Interested to see how difficult 2.0 is! Now for running... The building up phase is complete and the general phase has begun. This phase is preparing me for the main phase, which is the most difficult part. I'm really enjoying the interval training and can't believe I'm able to survive running 7:30 intervals for 3 minutes. Even with a missed long run, I am still on pace for 1,000 miles! Week mileage: 26.3 - average pace: 9:40 Month: 68.9 miles - average pace: 9:51 Miles in 2015: 163.3 My favorite Puma shoes are almost at the 300 mile mark... Looking into new shoes to rotate. I'm thinking Hoka One Cliftons. Anyone ever use those? I've heard good things and it has great reviews. |
