Can I even call this a training week??
My attempts at sticking to this schedule were pitiful.
Monday, 7/25: my 10 mile LONG run from the previous week's schedule. 10:12-11:23 pace, but mostly around an 11:00 pace. =10.25 miles
Tuesday 7/26: drove for 1.5 hours, sat for 9.5 hours at conference.
View of Atlantic City from the AC Expressway
Walked briefly on my lunch break, walked around the outlets at the end of the conference and
I could see the ocean from the lobby of my conference area!
The sights on my lunch break
Drove home through blueberry fields!
If your blueberries come from Hammonton, NJ, this is where they come from.
I did do arm stuff when I got home:
- 8 real pushups
- 2x8 pushups on knees
with 5# weights
- 3x12 bicep curl to shoulder press*
- 3x12 front raises & lateral raises (hard toward end of 3rd set!)*
- 2x12 tricep kickbacks
- 2x12 bent over row to rear fly (rear fly...really hard, so I switched to 3#)*
Wednesday 7/27: Drove for 1.5 hours, sat for 8.5 hours at conference. Walked around the outlets at the end of the day before driving 1.5 hrs home.
Outlets conveniently placed right outside the casinos so you can spend all your winnings.
Thursday 7/28: 1 mi Easy/2 mi Fartlek including 6x[1 min fast, 1 min recovery], 1 mi Easy. Another run from last week's schedule. (I'm a little behind here, see the trend?) While only one minute bursts, I'm still proud of my faster times over very short distances.
Friday 7/29: 5.68 mile bike ride.
Saturday 7/30: 2 mile dog walk. I didn't run because I thought we might go for a hike. By the time we decided not to hike until Sunday, it was way too hot to run.
Sunday 7/31: 5 mile hike.
Followed by 45 minutes of Wii Sports. I'm counting it because my right bicep hurt later that day from tennis, baseball, and bowling. Seriously.
Because we hiked Sunday, I ran my long run on Monday. Wayyy behind schedule now.
Total Miles Run: 14.42
Total Miles Biked: 5.68
Total Miles Hiked: 5

Wow, they couldn't have sprung for a hotel room for you? That's rough. Not every week can be a winner. I'd call it a recovery week. Your fartleks were super fast though!
ReplyDeleteHehehe...fartleks.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alyssa, driving 3 hours round trip sounds awful and they should have gotten you a hotel room!
I went to Atlantic City about 4 years ago. It was fun! I really enjoyed it. I've only been out to the east coast twice in my whole life, can you believe it!?
ReplyDeleteI love your greyhound--such sweet furbabies!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had the LONGEST day ever for that conference--geez!!!
Training can be adaptable--as long as you are making an effort (and you totally are) you'll be good to go!! Some weeks are harder than others and thats ok!!
