Due to the cold and stuff I had a lazy week of running last week. I only got in 4 runs and totaled about 16 or so miles. Nothing to write home about or anything. However, I did get in 3 30 Day Shred Workouts. I’ve also lost another pound, so I’m not sweating my lack of running. We’ll just say I was still recovering from my half. Works for me.
This week it looks like the weather will see a significant improvement and I’m ready to get back to work. I guess I just needed a bit of down time. I’m thinking of doing something that looks a bit like this:
M – Shred
T – 5m
W – 4 miles Fartlek (1 minute hard/1 minute rest) – SHRED
Th – 5m
F – Shred
S – 4m
S – 8-10m
Total – 26 – 30m depending on how I’m feeling. I’m not going to cry if it’s a bit less, either.
I was going to just run randomly, but I find that I need to have some mileage goals or some sort of loose framework. Otherwise I have a week like last week. It was unorganized and I ran out of days to get my runs in. I’m pretty much in a loose mileage building stage. Buidling mileage for what? Hopefully a fall marathon. That’s why I’m not really sweating this too much right now. I just want to get up to about 40 miles per week.
Outside of running, things are going well. I’m super busy these days and possibly in a bit of trouble with school. My midterms sneaked up on me again and I’m in no way prepared. This week will be spent doing tons of academic reading and writing as well as preparing for my Spanish midterm. I have to hit both of these midterms out of the park to save my semester, so I’ll be busy, busy busy.
Finally, some have asked about the guy that’s taking up a bit of my time. In a nutshell, I’ve met a cute, vegan cyclist. He writes in complete sentences and is the same age as me. (Those that do the internet dating thing know that it’s usually just overrun with 50 year olds trying to get into your pants. Pathetic.) The only issue is that he lives up in WPB which is about 45 minutes from me. So, there’s that. For right now, I’m just enjoying the company. No stress.
What have you guys been up to??
