Monday- off.... rest day :)
Tuesday: treadmill 3.25 miles... ran 3 miles in 32:40 .... it is raining hard out today! feeling good! knee feels good. i am back on track this week with the schedule my trainer / hubby gave me :) glad of that!
Wed: took the morning off,,, four miles tonight. :) haha... i was a bit tired and not in good spirits this morning... since i need to run some night time /afternoon time runs, I figured i would take advantage.
Well, at lunch time I told my darling husband that i would be running right after work! he was surprised. haha... So at 4:00 pm est... I ran my four miles in 44:34. I have to admit my time is slowly getting better, but I am still not happy. This was a tough afternoon race. Ugh.
I felt good after and iced my knee and took an aleave. that helped :)
Thursday: went to the gym and actually got there the earlist yet! 4:45am! heavens. haha. I have a heard time leaving the house once i am fully awake. I am thinking of switching gyms. there is one opening up in my town that is opened 24/7 :) I can just roll out of bed and go! that would be much better! anyway, I did do 20 min on the eliptical (2miles, i did force myself to get in the two miles in the twenty min) then, squats, stretching, leg workout, upper body. i need to start writing this down...
Friday: nothing this morning, I had Rian and I let my DD#2 borrow my car.... walked one mile from the Boys/Girls club to Dad's and he drove me to work.... after i picked up my coffee.... 3rd of the day! oooohhhh my...
I am supposed to run 3 miles today... we will see... :)
Saturday: 3.1 miles 34 min felt okay
Sunday: long run 8.22 miles 2 hours 11 min 43 sec. - first mile i felt pretty stiff.... i did bring water with me. so i sipped it during the run.... my lower back hurt while running too... this is not the first time. (that means new sneakers!) anyway, the second and third mile my legs and lower back did not seem to warm up, at 4 miles i stopped and stretched... walked and ran the fifth mile, stopping again to do further stretching, ran / walked but in pain with the back. walked mostly, and ran little during the last 3 miles. a bad run, but i needed that, i needed to have one bad run to see how much i need to do so i have a great run for the half :) always the optimistic. ....
20.47 miles this week :) includes the eliptical miles, i am okay with that.
