This week, I got to get in all my intended workouts unimpeded. So I got back up to my goal of working out 6 days last week. I already covered last Sunday in my last post, so here's how the rest of the week looked:
Monday: Biking, 5.28 miles, ~30 minutes
I don't remember if it was Monday or Wednesday, but I saw papa turkey last week. He looked a bit confused as to whether he wanted to cross the road or not. He stayed on one side of the road as I passed by on my bike. Those turklets/turklings had to come from somewhere ;-)
Tuesday: Running, 2.48 miles, 30 minutes
So I decided to go to running for 30 minutes on the weekdays. Running for 40 minutes plus the time it took me to change clothes then change back left very little time for eating my lunch. Plus, it's still been pretty hot, so I didn't want to overdo it.
Wednesday: Biking, 5.31 miles, ~30 minutes
Feeling a little worn out this day, but I pushed through. I do enjoy the sense of accomplishment once I'm done.
Thursday: Running, 2.51 miles, 30 minutes
I'm trying to better my pace. So I did some intervals in the beginning of my run where I would run harder for one minute then at a easier pace for two minutes. I didn't carry it out throughout the whole workout as the hills were not being helpful. I think I might shorten the intervals a little bit, like my former 30 second run/1 minute walk intervals of yore.
Friday: Biking, 5.28 miles, ~30 minutes
I wouldn't mind bettering my biking pace, also. I'm trying to keep up a steady cadence as I ride. I don't want to take all day on the MS ride for the 35 and 25 miles. But I'm also not going to push it hard either. I'm going to try to strike a balance between keeping a decent pace and having an enjoyable ride.
Saturday: Rest day
Saturday was my pre-determined rest day.
Sunday: Long run, 4.78 miles, 1 hour
It was decently cool (comparatively) this morning for my run. Still humid. But it didn't feel oppressive. So I felt pretty good for my run.
This week should be another uninterrupted week.
