100 Pounds!

I can’t decide if I like to be this busy or not. Saturday I went from a run to lifting to seeing family to work and being home for approximately an hour. I know that I am so lucky to be able to do all of these things so I’m not going to complain that I don’t have time to sit at home and do nothing! 

Here’s the run-down on running last week. (I thought that was pretty clever;)

Monday

In the rain:

1.25 mile warm up + dynamic warm up

3 x 800m (2:58, 2:58, 2:54) with 400 jog between

4 x 200m (37, 41, 41, 39) with 200 jog between

cooldown for 5 total

Tuesday

1.25 mile warm up + dynamic warm up

easy run to get to 6 miles @ 8:01 avg

core

Wednesday

1 mile warm up

• 2 x 10 135# box squat
• 2 x 10 65# bench press
• 2 x 5 75# powerclean
• 2 x 10 60# leg extension + curls
• hyperextensions holding a 15# weight
• arm stuff, core

1 mile cool down

2 miles total

Thursday

Meet day!

1 mile warm up

3200 relay: 2:43 (2nd)
1600: 5:52 (1st)
800: 2:43 (1st)
3200: 12:43 (1st)

I would guess 6 miles total!

Friday

1.25 mile warm up + dynamic warm up

We did .75 miles but about every quarter threw in jumping lunges, bleachers, frog squats, I don’t remember what else.

1 mile cooldown

3 total (and work from 5-8!)

Saturday

8 miles @ 8:01 avg

Started out feeling sluggish and slow but by the end I felt great. It always takes a few miles to warm up:) Mostly negatives splits and my last mile was a 7:16!

Some cooldown exercises barefoot on the BEAUTIFUL beach. My backyard. How is this real life?

Lifting:

• 2 x 10 100#(!!!) parallel squat
  First time squatting 100 pounds! I know it’s not too high but since I’m so new to lifting I feel so accomplished. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be in just a few months, not to mention years from now. I can feel such a difference in my running.
• 2 x 10 70# bench press
• 2 x 5 100# hex bar dead lift + shoulder shrugs
• all the other usuals
• core
• work from 5-10!

Sunday

rest

Total miles: 30

I’ve got meets on Tuesday and Friday this week. Then it’s going to be MAY. Like how? I’ve never felt time go by so fast. There are just so many things going on right now and I am so overwhelmed with how many blessings I have. I’m anxious to share everything but I’m focusing on living and enjoying them rather than making blogging them a first priority.

Talk to you guys soon!
