Monday - Spinning (10 miles in 40 minutes), 2.01 mile run at 11:23 pace Wednesday - 3.02 miles of hills on the dreadmill at a 11:15 pace Thursday - 4.46 mile run at a 10:38 pace Saturday - 9.81 mile run at a 10:50 pace, PiYo core Running Totals - 19.29 miles at an average 11:01 pace Monday, the weather was perfect to try out my new YakTrax (i.e. the weather was not perfect), so I went for a short run after spin class. It's been very cold, snowy, and windy, so I ended up on the treadmill Wednesday which was perfect because it was hill work day and there aren't many good hills around me. I felt slow this week! I'm happy we have some better weather coming in the next few days :)

This week's exercise: Monday - 4.05 miles at a 10:47 pace Tuesday - 1.01 miles at a 10:45 pace Thursday - 4.78 miles at a 10:23 pace Saturday - 8.51 miles at a 10:32 pace Sunday - PiYo core Total distance: 18.35 miles at an average pace of 10:34. I'm proud of myself for doing all of my runs outside last week! It was snowy and cold but I'm trying to avoid training exclusively on the treadmill like I did last winter. Tuesday night I took Charlie to the trails right after work but it was already too dark to run. I gave up mentally on my long run Saturday; I even stopped to walk for a few minutes, which I rarely do. The cold really got to me! I've been meaning to start adding PiYo into my weekly routine, so I'm glad I finally started getting back into that. I also did yoga three days. :)
I'm a whole 2 weeks into marathon training! I only ran three days last week since I raced last Sunday, and I was feeling kind of antsy on my rest days. I did manage to get my steps on Fitbit every day. I made up for my rest days by taking Charlie for long walks. Anyway, my runs for the week :) Tuesday - 4.17 Miles at a 10:26 pace Thursday - 2.08 Mile run with my friend Bri at a 9:54 pace Saturday - 8.11 Miles at a 10:09 pace Totals - 14.36 Miles at an average of 10:10 pace Yay for being fast last week! I felt great on my long run and I'm ready to start adding more distance. I also did yoga I think 4 or 5 days last week.
I have officially completed my first week of marathon training! Only 173 more days until my first 26.2. My training runs this week: Tuesday - 3.21 Mile tempo run at 9:51 pace Wednesday - 4.05 Mile run at 11:36 pace Friday - 2.50 Mile run at 11:12 pace Sunday - 6.05 Mile race at 10:49 pace Total - 15.81 at an average 10:52 pace It's been cold, rainy, and windy all week but I still managed to get out to do all of my runs. I also did yoga most days. I'm right on track! Thank you to my friends who helped me put together a training plan :)
Since I raced this morning, I'm relaxing the rest of the day. I'm enjoying watching the New York Marathon on tv and cheering on my friend Jeff who is now at mile eight!!! |
Hello, my name is Alyssa!I'm a momma to Emerson Lilly and two fur babies, a distance runner, and just a girl full of sparkle and quirks. I love traveling to races and exploring new places to run! I started this blog in 2014 as more of a journal to keep track of training for my first marathon, and I've continued to post about training, races, and other things happening in my life. Also, I'd like to be your best friend. :) Categories
