Workout update

Life has been a little interesting recently, but fortunately my workouts have been consistent and are helping me get through all the ups and downs. I do have an amazing hubby who is super supportive. Love you GAH!

On to the review...

Sunday, June 19^th – well deserved off-day

Monday, June 20^th – Regular boot camp and then advanced boot camp. It was hard and fun.

32 push-ups in 2min

5 min plank

1mile run – my watch said 6:49, but it was shorter than what Stephanie said the course was. Love how accurate GPS watches can be!

Tuesday, June 21^st – Running -> 4miles, 6 pick-ups, easy run to make it 5.01miles.

It was a hilly course, so the times are not great.

Splits –

Mile 1 -8:57

Mile 2 – 9:29 – hilly!!

Mile 3 – 8:50

Mile 4 – 8:46

PU 1 – 0.08 with pace of 6:59

PU 2 – 0.08 with pace of 6:41

PU 3 – 0.07 with pace of 7:27

PU 4 – 0.06 with pace of 8:38 – hilly!

PU 5 – 0.07 with pace of 7:39

PU 6 – 0.08 with pace of 6:46 – flat!

Finish with 0.40miles with pace of 8:37.

I listen to audio books while I run and just started Dracula. If you are a Twilight fan, you should read/listen to this book! Also, check out The Historian.

Wednesday, June 22^nd – Boot camp. I meet Stephanie early to figure out a new running course, so I actually ran 1.89 miles that day. I only did 22 push-ups since I was playing with a different form. I did do plank for 5min. The rest of class was bands.

Thursday, June 23^rd – Was going to run in the morning, but decided to sleep in! 6am is so much better and 5am!

Friday, June 24^th – You know I can’t get myself motivated to work out on Fridays!

Saturday, June 25^th – 13.1 miles with Stephanie. My goal was to finish. Time wasn’t important. I felt tired, but good.

Splits – 13.1 in 1:57.02

Mile 1 – 9:30

Mile 2 – 8:49

Mile 3 – 9:04

Mile 4 – 9:07

Mile 5 – 8:52

Mile 6 – 8:45

Mile 6.55 was at a pace of 8:39

Stopped at the half-way point to eat some sports bean and get some water. I hit the split button, which reset the mile tracking.

Mile 7.55 – 8:45

Mile 8.55 – 8:55

Mile 9:55 – 8:57

Mile 10.55 – 9:08

Mile 11.55 – 8:47

Mile 12.55 – 8:41

Mile 13.1 was at a pace of 8:40

Very happy this run. Starting to build a good base and hopefully speed will come. I do have a 10k race coming up with 50,000 of my closest friends! I am in seeded group B, which behind elite men, elite women, and A group. Pretty fancy!

Enjoy!
