Sunday RUNDAY

I woke up and ran 12 miles this morning, my last long run before the half marathon on Saturday. D and I participated in the Cyclones 5k last night and I thought it might be a little rough, but I was wrong. I had another great run (the third time this week!) Let's just hope I haven't used them all up!! Here's the plan for the rest of the week:


Monday: Stretch + Strength
Tuesday: 4 mile run
Wednesday: 30 minute tempo run
Thursday: 2 mile run
Friday: Rest
Saturday: RACE!


Now time for a nice pasta dinner with D!! Happy SundayRunday!!

Training Plan

Let the count down begin, 12 days until my next half marathon!! I'm really excited to go to Indy!! I feel like I’m in pretty good shape, but I have been slacking a little with my training. Here is the plan for this week:

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: 45 minute tempo run + strength

Wednesday: 3 miles      

Thursday: 5 miles + strength

Friday: Rest

Saturday: Cyclones 5k

Sunday; 12 mile run

Race Time!!

Over the next 3 weekends I am signed up for 3 races! I'm really pretty pumped about all the running in my near future! This weekend I am doing Morgan's Little Miami Triathlon with a partner. My partner did this race last year, but I am a triathlon virgin!! This race is a 6 mile canoe, a 5.5 mile run and an 18 mile bike. The thought of swimming intimidates me, A LOT, so I figured this would be a good way for me to get a taste of triathlons without taking the big plunge (haha get it? Swimming, plunge?) Any way I'm really excited about it!

So, onto the training plan for this week:

Sunday: 10 mile run

Monday: REST

Tuesday: Strength + bike ride with D

Wednesday: 10x 400 on the track

Thursday: Strength + 5 mile run

Friday: 3 mile run

Saturday: REST

Sunday: Little Miami Triathlon

And what will we eat???

Monday: Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

Tuesday: Italian Chicken and baked pastina

Wednesday: Hearty Chipotle Chicken Soup

Thursday: Dinner &  Movie

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: ??

Sunday: ??
