1,000 miles in 2015 has officially begun and here is a quick a recap of my first week at it… I’m still sick. This stubborn head cold / sinus infection won’t seem to let up but I had to push through and run anyway! As a note – I’m not just running to reach my miles; I’m following the Gipis marathon training program to prevent over use and increase speed and endurance. The week called for three 55 minute runs and a 1 hour and 5 minute run. I ran Monday (see previous blog post), tried to run on the dread-mill Tuesday and failed miserably. I didn’t even reach the mile mark before I called it quits, more running Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a total of 22.9 miles. In addition, I re-started the bikini body guide and did the 2 required circuits Tuesday and Saturday. The hardest run by far was Monday, I was very sick and breathing was hard but I pushed through and managed to get the run done.
This week is going to be a very difficult week. I’m actually exhausted just planning the workouts. The week plan includes three 1 hour and 5 minute runs, a 1 hour and 20 minute run, and 3 bikini body guide workouts. The plan is to rest today. My body is exhausted after the weekend. Morning workout of the bikini body guide circuits: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and after work runs: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. This will allow a rest day on Friday so I can complete the 1 hour and 20 minute run on Saturday or Sunday. The following week will be much easier. The runs decrease to three 25 minutes and an hour and 55 minute run. Looking forward to that break! So, to sum it up: 22.9 miles completed 10:32 average pace 977.1 miles left or 2.29% complete
