Hi Leslie, thanks for starting us up. Where'd you get the quote?
Mon... UB/LB + abs ---> done this morning instead of a 3K recovery run. Mondays will be my designated day for UB. Don't do enough of it.
Tue.... 60min progressive run ---> 10.1K not so easy run. Legs felt tired and I needed two painkillers cause I woke up with a bad headache and didn't want to miss out on my run.
Wed... 60min easy run + abs --->3rd day in a row I woke up with a headache. I gave it a miss.
Thu.... 75min easy run ---> 12.4K easy run. We went early, but it was really warm all the same.
Fri..... 30 min tempo run + 30 min LB + abs (Fridays will be my designated LB days) ---> 5K easy run + 30min LB and a 13K bike commute
Sat.... 40min easy run ---> 7K easy run, 2 hours of errands, 4 hours of gardening, pruning mostly, in my totally neglected garden. It looks better now, but it'll take a lot more work before it looks good again. But if I keep chipping away at it, I might be able to put bulbs in the ground by fall and I'll have the prettiest garden ever in Spring
Sun.... 2h45 long run --->almost 22.3K in 2:44:36 I was slow as molasses today. Plus I took a walk break and a sip of water/ sports drink at every 3rd beep of my Polar HRM (think that's 2.5 kilometers).
Total mileage:56.8 kilometers
UB: 1x
LB:2x
Abs:2x
DutchieRun the day, or the day runs you.
I'm not sure what's on tap for this week because I'm recovering... from the race, the trip, DH's surgery, yadda yadda yadda... But I have a mile track race scheduled for Thursday, so I know I'll run at least one mile
Monday: Dead tired today and DH had knee surgery: no run or anything else
Tuesday: 3.5 hilly miles, 9:00 pace; .4 mile walk c/d
Wednesday: 5.5 miles, .6 mile walk c/d
Thursday: 1 mile race, 1.2 mile warm up and 2.3 mile c/d (4.5 total)
Friday: Rest day... lots of garden work (wore out my legs!)
Saturday: 8.6 hilly miles, 8:30 pace; .35 mile walk c/d
Sunday: 12.2 miles, 8:30 avg pace; .8 mile walk c/d
Totals: 34.3 miles run, 2.15 miles walked, lots of garden/yard work
Thanks Leslie....

Hi, everyone!
Monday . . . . . plan: rest . . . . . actual: kayaked a little over an hour and helped a friend rig and sail a boat for about an hour - beautiful day here at the Jersey shore
Tuesday . . . . plan: run 3 . . . ran 3.1 to make it an even # for the month; walked 1.0; it was ugly because I slept in and it was HOT, but I got it done
Wednesday . . . plan: run 5 . . . . ran 5, walked 1, whaddya know, I'm right on schedule
Thursday . . . . . .plan: run 3 . . . . . . slept in today, so will do the 3 (or maybe the LR) tomorrow; kayaked 2 hours, about 3/4 actually paddling and 1/4 floating and communing with the shorebirds; lot o' stretching this evening
Friday . . . . . plan: rest . . . . out and about all day picking up my new (used) sailboat and bringing it from its former home
Saturday . . . . plan: run 8 (to celebrate the 4th twice?!?!?) . . . yeah, right; struggled mightily through 4.5; walked 1.0; think I may have a sinus infection and/or UTI - yuck
Sunday . . . . . plan: bike . . . . ran 3.2, walked 1.0; kayaked about 1-1/4 hours later
Summary: ran 15.2 (I think I did the math right!); walked 4.0; kayaked 3 times; sailed once (an unexpected treat); and became a boat owner - a pretty darn good week.
Have a greta week!

Hi ya folks! Another week already?
OK, I really liked the table function when I used it last week, so here we go again!
Total: 25 min yoga, 20 min strength/stretching, 20 min slide boarding, ran 22 mi. I had other stretch/strengthening drills scheduled on W & F, and was completely disinterested in doing them. Not lack of time, just not interested. So they got skipped.
