Half Marathon Training Week 3
This week has been great for running! I was nervous about the 5 day running week but so far, it has turned out fine! I had an especially awesome run today that we will get to in a minute. Here is what I ran this week:
Monday: strength training/ walking
Tuesday: 7 miles
Wednesday: 3 miles recovery
Thursday: 4 miles speed work, 4X800 plus warm-up and cool down
Friday: 3 miles
Saturday: strength training
Sunday: 4 miles
Total: 21 miles
Today’s run was really good! I was only supposed to do 3 miles but I was feeling good so I decided to change it to 4 miles instead. I ran this 4 miler faster than I have in years!! Here’s my stats:
Time: 37:39
Avg pace: 9:24 min/ mile!!
Mile 1: 9:58
Mile 2: 9:30
Mile 3: 9:24
Mile 4: 8:44 !!
Ya’ll, I can’t believe I ran this fast for 4 miles! I just really keep impressing myself with these fast runs!! I would say my training is going great!!
Jaime and I are having a great time together!! We have done a lot of shopping, eating, and girl talk! I am so glad she will be here for another 2 days!! And on Tuesday, we are going Wedding Dress shopping! I am SUPER excited! This is the thing that I have been looking forward to the most! There will be more wedding related questions coming tomorrow! Hope ya’ll have a wonderful Labor Day!
