Legs of Steel...

I can't believe how quickly the weeks of training are going by and how well I've been doing. Today I'll finish my week 4 plan with a five-mile run that was on schedule for yesterday. I spend the weekend at the beach so I wasn't too concerned with fitting it in, especially since it was cut-back week and I'm on vacation this week so it's easy to fit it in today.

Week three went well - was two miles short of goal because of shuffling around the Thursday and Friday runs. I still felt that the week was good because I did my 8-mile long run.

Week 3 looked like:
Goal - 19
Tuesday - 3 Easy - Treadmill - Was very easy
Friday - 3 Tempo - Treadmill - Not great but still made it. The 3-miles of tempo pace run was supposed to be flanked by 1 mile easy which I bailed on. I did the elliptical but was not feeling it.
Saturday - 3 Easy - Treadmill - Considering that I'd run my 3-miles of tempo less than 24 hours before I felt great for this run. I even did spin class afterward which also felt great.
Sunday - 8 LONG - West End/Rose Garden - 6:40am! This run was rough at first but once I made it past 3 miles I fell into the groove of things.
Total - 17 miles
Pretty crazy to think that between Friday at 6pm and Sunday at 8 am I ran 14 miles, and did a spinning class... LEGS OF STEEL....

Week 4 is...
Goal - 15
Tuesday - 5 Easy - Treadmill - Was very easy
Thursday - 5 Easy - Treadmill - Another run that went by easy peasy
Did spin class Wednesday night which felt awesome.
My last 5 miles of the week will be today. Then week 5 will pick up tomorrow!
UPDATE: 7/28... 5 MILES on Monday went well

I'm soooooo glad to be on vacation this week and only really have tentative plans. Certain things are on my mind to do and there is a birthday party to go to but I'm really winging it this week. I think a trip to NYC on Friday is very likely but we'll see.
