Yeh, I know I haven't posted in a while...I've been busy wrapping things up at Stanford (I do really hope that I did an OK job transitioning things to the DLS team), running, helping my Mom, and...now...starting a new job at Genentech!
My time trial on Saturday went very well. I ran 20 seconds faster than I expected, and it felt pretty easy. My last lap was strong, and I had a strong sense of focus which I don't think I have felt before during a race-like setting. The Yoga is not only helping me physically, but it seems to be helping me mentally as well. In total, I ran about 4 miles on Saturday. Phill and I also performed the Pre Run Yoga video before we left the house to go to West Valley College.
Sunday Phill and I ran an easy 2 miles and walked about a half mile. And on Monday we did the same, but we also performed the Essentials Yoga video also. This morning, Phill and I do the Pre-Yoga video and we are taking the day off from running.
Here is the next 10 day running plan:
Wednesday: 3 miles, strides, Essentials Yoga
Thursday: 2 miles, easy, Recovery Run Yoga
Friday: 2 miles, easy, Pre-Run Yoga
Saturday: Pre-run Yoga before leaving the house, 2 mile warm up, "Mile on the Track" at WVJS, and a one mile warm down
Sunday: 4 miles, easy, Pre-Run Yoga
Monday: 2 miles, easy
Tuesday: 2 miles, easy, Power Yoga
Wednesday: 3 miles, easy, Pre-Run Yoga
Thursday: 2 miles, easy, Recovery Yoga
Friday: 2 miles, easy
After this Saturday, I will need to find a new mini-goal to work up to while maintaining the ultimate goal of staying healthy and getting stronger.
The first two days of the job were pretty great. New Hire Orientation wasn't a blast, but I did learn a lot about Genentech's history and also their drugs and basic premise of how they develop their drugs and diagnostics. Today, I spent the day reading out Genentech's Leave processes and I'll probably spend the next couple weeks doing that as well. I did get to sit in a meeting, and also have a conversation with my Manager about cases and what the next 6 months look like. I am very excited!
Well, that's it for now...I'll try to post more frequently this week.
