T.I.R.E.D

Oh my goodness.  I am tired!  The train I need to take to get to work leaves at 6:25AM.  This means that I need to wake up at around 5:00 and leave the house by 6:00, so that I can walk to the train station in time to catch the train. An adjustment for sure!

Here was my running week:
  • Monday: 2.1 miles running, 30 minutes of core and light weights in the gym at the new apartment
  • Tuesday: 2.1 miles running on treadmill at office, 20 minutes of core and ankle stability exercises
  • Wednesday: 3 miles, very easy because I was not feeling well
  • Thursday: 4 miles running around the new apartment’s neighborhood.  Foam roller was a friend to me and Phill on Thursday (NOT!)
  • Friday: Day off
  • Saturday: 3.1 miles, easy around Santa Clara University. Foam roller and stick.
  • Sunday: 4.8 miles, easy. Foam roller and stick. 
Most of the weekend was spent organizing the house. We are almost all unpacked and organized.  I really hope this is the last move for at least another two years! 

My running plans this week

Monday: Day off from running.  Elliptical or stationary bike, and core. Stretch.
Tuesday: 3 miles, easy. Stretch.
Wednesday: 5 miles total - 6 x 2 on, 2 off @ what I would imagine10K pace feels like with warm up and cool downs. Stretch.
Thursday: 3 miles, easy, and core. Stretch.
Friday: 2 miles, easy. Stretch.
Saturday: 3 miles, easy to moderate. Strides. Stretch.
Sunday: 6 miles, east to moderate.  Maybe some hills. Stretch.

I can’t believe we are in the second week of February!  In just 3 weeks, we will be in Napa running the 5K.  Time crept up.  I just need to stick with my plan of trying to have a good time during the run.  I’ve never been to Napa, so I’m going to treat this like a Vacation more than a race.    

This week's goals: 

  • Continue to read my book (The Social Conquest of Earth)
  • Stick to running plan
  • Brainstorm another project for work (I finished my last project...)
