Here is what I set out to do this week:
Tuesday: 1/3 - XT: 30min, Ab Routine: 15min
Wednesday: 1/4 - Run: 45min, Upper: 20min
Thursday: 1/5 - XT: 30min, Ab Routine: 15min
Friday: 1/6 - Run: 45min, Lower: 20min
Saturday:1/7 - Rest
Sunday: 1/8 - Run: 60min
Here is what I accomplished:
Tuesday: 1/3 - Did an easy 1.5mile walk; that wasn't an easy as I thought it would have been. I just felt tired, but it could have been the time of night.
Thursday: 1/5 - took advantage of the mild January weather we are experiencing and headed out for a run after work. I ended up going just shy of 2.5 miles, and made it home two minutes faster than the last time I did the same route!
Saturday: 1/7 - Again, couldn't let the opportunity to run outside in January pass me by. I did another route that I haven't done since late fall, and again finished two minutes faster than I had recorded previously. Finished with 2.8 miles in 38 minutes.
Sunday: 1/8 - Another mid-thirties day. :) These mild temperatures are going to make me cringe when winter really does arrive. I wanted to up my mileage today so planned a route that ended up being 4 miles long. I finished it in 53 minutes.
Weekly Positives:
.no matter where or when I ran, I manged to maintain a consistent pace. Starting out consistent will make it easier to gradually pick up the pace.
.on week 1 of a new training plan, I exceeded my running goals.
.being able to run outside in January? Blissful!
Things To Work On:
.getting up to my alarm and doing some cross training and strength work.
.meeting time goals, not just distance goals. While I had 45minutes planned, I picked routes that took less time.
