total mileage for yesterday 6.6
I ran 3.5 yesterday morning at an 8:16 pace. Then I ran 3.1 with Amanda - running between at 7:45 and an 8:15 pace for 2 minutes, then doing either planks, plank jackes, crab walk, dips, total body dips, for one minute! It was awesome and I am nicely sore!!
Today I swim during my break at the pool!
7.1 miles, gymnastics, 2.5 miles, sick... again
That is how you can sum up from Saturday through to today.
I am hoping I can get some kind of something in either tonight or tomorrow… but I feel pretty awful (sore throat/cough/aches). I think it might be my body telling me to rest.
1650 yard swim
yeah… that totally happened during lunch today!
The chipotle happened…
It’s been a good day!
swam last night...
1200 un-interesting yards in 20 minutes. Would have done more but my foot cramped up like crazy!!!
Trying to decide if I should swim, run or both tonight!

5 weeks to baseline half marathon
Each year I run the (used to be National, is now Rock ‘n’ Roll) half marathon in DC in mid March. I used it as my baseline for my running year ahead. The first time I ran it, it was my very first half marathon. I had no other goals than to compete it in under 2 hours. I did - 1:57:48. Which was pretty impressive because my training had really fallen by the wayside during swim and dive...
