FRIDAY July 30th

Ran a few times on our vacay to California & Utah...mostly in the heat, so it was rough. Since I've been home (July 20th) - I've run at 2pm most days and felt miserable. So, as of Tuesday, July 27th I have been running at my 7am time slot and it has been much better!

Started my 12 week Half Marathon (Intermediate) training this week!

Monday: Stretch (Yoga) and Strengthen (weights)
Tuesday: 3 miles
Wed: 5 x 400
Thurs: 3 miles w/ Strength (weights)

And today will be REST but instead (shame on us) we will do some yoga and walk.
Tomorrow is 5 miles.

Tuesday, July 6th

This month is already speeding by and it just started. Crazy.

Hollyn and I set up our 'circuit' training and then did a giant loop 1x1 (run/walk) in prep for our workout.

75 x jumprope x 3
75 x situps x 3
20 shuttle run x 3

Cool-down run afterwards for a good 45 min or so total work out.

Hot, muggy, sunny, buggy.

4th of July and 5th of July

So funny to see the leftover shrapnal from last night's fireworks this morning (5th of July) on my 7am run. Our street was covered in cardboard tubes, bottle rocket sticks, pink and blue stained sidewalks from smoke bombs, etc. I only did a lemay/seas/upper paragon loop - 22 mins...but it was brisk.

Ran an interval workout on the 4th at 8:30am. 30+ mins of 4x3.

Tues, Wed, Thurs, Friday

Tuesday I set up 3 'stations' for us to do in the open space:

Yoga mat for sit-ups
Jump rope
Bases for shuttle run

We warmed up with a 12 min tempo run

Then 3 rotations of each station.
50 situps
50 jumps
5x5x2 shuttle runs

10 minute warm down run. GREAT workout!

Wednesday: 32 minute run doing 4x3 (4 fast, 3 recovery) for intervals. Felt awesome.

Thursday: Went to breakfast!

Friday: FAST 30 minute run w/ added stair running (1x1, 2x2, 3x3 etc. up to 10th step x 10 and then back down the same way for ONE HUNDRED AND TEN stair reps) holy thighs.
