Take my Poll!

Hi All!  I put a poll at the bottom of my Blog, so feel free to respond to it just for Fun! :)

Last week's running went pretty well, as I pretty much stuck to my plan.  I ran a little longer than planned a few of the days, but I felt good doing it. 

On Friday, my friend and old cross country teammate, Anne, got together for a run and some dinner.  We ran about 3+ miles at Quarry Lakes in Fremont and then we ate at this new restaurant in Niles called the Vine.  I miss running at Quarry Lakes on a regular basis.  It's perfect for all lengths of runs as it has a lot of loops, hills, and is all on dirt.  the Vine is a cool little additional to Niles!  I would have been out on their patio every Friday had it been open when I lived in Fremont.  I was happy with my Vegan sandwich and my Campfire Stout

I was also super happy to hang out with Anne for the evening!  It's funny - we saw each other in January, but had already forgotten about what we told each other! Haha. I miss running with Anne!  

Anyways, here is this week's workout plan

Monday: Day Off from running; roll, stretch, light core
Tuesday: 2 miles easy, dynamic warm up, upper body strength and core
Wednesday: 3 miles moderate, dynamic warm up, lower body strength and core
Thursday: 2.5 miles easy, dynamic warm up, upper body strength and core
Friday: 2 miles easy, dynamic warm up,
Saturday: 3 miles easy, dynamic warm up,
Sunday: 3 miles easy, dynamic warm up, drills, 2 strides

Depending how this week goes, I plan to slowly ramp up my mileage again. I will continue to do all the extras as well, so my increase in running miles will be slow so I don't hurt myself. 

My next goal - To run at West Valley Joggers and Striders (WVJS)  track race days.  On June 20th, WVJS is running an 800 / 1500 / 3000. On June 27th, WVJS is also have a One Mile on the Track. They are having another One Mile on the Track on August 1st. 

I'm not 100% sure what I will run on June 20th yet - I think it is dependent on the kind of workouts I can manage in May.  I will be in Ireland in May, but I already plan to get a good amount of running in while I am there. 

Phill made this delicious dip this weekend...it was awesome: 


Well, I don't have much else to say today...my weekend was pretty low key, so I have nothing else to report. 

Happy Monday, all!
