I did take Molly for a 1.05mile walk in the PM – had to collect a poop sample for the vet! Fun times!

Tues, March 27^th – The alarm went off and I reset it for another hr of sleep! I figured my body needed it. I had PT in the evening (lots of dry needling, electrostimulation/heating pad, and working on my balance – looks like I have weak ankles!) and I did my MABS - 135 sit-ups and 40 push-ups.

Wed, March 28^th – Took Molly for a 2.0mile walk in the morning – it was nice walking her when all the kids are rushing to school and the flowers are blooming!

A group of us at work are running a 5k in a few weeks and they want to train with me. So we went for a 3mile run at 5:30pm (HOT!) and then did 8 pick-ups. The run was easy and the pick-ups were killer! I skipped MABS because I was meeting a friend for dinner and enjoyed a little too much vino. I’ll make it up!

Splits – 3.01 miles in 29:29

1mile @ 10:06 – I was letting them set the pace.

1mile @ 9:43

1mile @ 9:21

Walk break before starting the PUs and run back to the lab – 1.19 miles – they worked me hard on the sprints!

#1 – forgot to start my watch L

#2 – 0.07miles @ 6:34

#3 – 0.07miles @ 6:36

#4 – 0.08miles @ 5:56

#5 – 0.08miles @ 6:06

#6 – 0.09miles @ 5:44

#7 – 0.08miles @ 6:03

#8 – 0.07miles @ 7:08 – tired!

My legs were definitely tired at the end. It was a great workout!

Thurs, March 29^th – Run morning! I really enjoy running in the morning. I can’t wait till the sun decided to come up sooner than 7:30am. Running in the dark at 7am isn’t that much fun. My legs could tell that I had run the night before and were really tired the first part of the workout. I did push through and felt great at the end. I ended up doing Wednesday’s MABS -135 sit-ups and 40 push-ups before my run and Thursday’s MABS 140 sit-ups and 42 push-ups after the run. It is probably a good idea to wash my yoga mat!

Sat, March 31^st – Off/rest day!

Sun, April 1^st – Race Day!! I am doing the Carlsbad 5000 – All Day 25k. Yes, just a little crazy! A bestie did it last year and had fun, so I thought it would be fun. Plus who hates Cali??!! I don’t really have any time goals, except to be consistent, strong at the end, and hopefully get into the top 250 in my age group to get a metal!

Enjoy!
