Here is what week one of training looked like.
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 40 minute kettle bells class; although we used other equipment tonight, too. We used the step for warm-up, running up and down it, but having to do a burpee every time the phrase "thunder" came on during an AC/DC song. I know, I'm lame. I can't even remember the title, and it had to do with thunder! Then we used a medicine ball, which is something we haven't used before. There was a lot going on in the class, but it was a good workout as always.
Wednesday: planned was an hour of cardio - either cycle box, the elliptical, or a run. I left work late, and wasn't home much of the nights earlier in the week either. So, I put it off knowing I was going to get some extra time in on Thursday.
Thursday: I made plans with a co-worker to go cross country skiing after work. It was the first time in a long time I left right at 3:45/4:00! We were able to get just under an hour in, did a lot of talking, and the skiing felt good, too. Then after Ava's dance class, I went to kettle bells as usual. We did a sort of AMRAP workout for 28 minutes. For 2 minutes we did as many rounds of 5 pushups, 10 swings, and 15 goblet squats as we could, then did 2 minutes off jump rope pushing to get as many reps as possible. It got a little repetitive, but it felt good. I don't know if I did as many rounds as possible, but I was consistent through each round.
Friday: rest - Girls Night Out!
Saturday: I intended to go running (I would rather do my long run on Saturday so Sunday I can either do a shorter run or a class at the Y). However, Ava had a dance show in the morning and a play date in the afternoon, so I just never felt like I had the time to go. Chalk up a rest day!
Sunday: On a beautiful January afternoon, I headed out for my first long run of the training plan, and my longest run since October! The training plan called for 8 miles, I used Map My Fitness (used to be Map My Run) to plan out a route that said it would be 7.7 miles. It ended up being only 7.4, which was a little disappointing. The first mile was slow and the third mile was slow (ice patches and slushy transitions between train and sidewalk to deal with), but other than that my paces were fairly consistent. My ultimate goal is to get back to 12:00 minute miles or faster, but I am okay easing into it for now. I wish I would have gone a little longer, since really I felt good and I am taking that as a good sign for heading into training!
