Week 2... Failure

Week 2...

What to say? Well, one thing I have figured out is that if I don't get up early and get the work in, it doesn't get done... As the day goes and the number of tasks I need to complete increase, I just can't seem to break away.

So what did I end up with?

Wednesday - 3.0mi

Sunday - 3.5mi
Today wasn't so bad. I did 3.5mi in just over 32min. I didn't feel like I was pushing myself, given it's only week two. I shortened and quickened my stride. My legs felt pretty light and springy, but post run my calves tightened up a lot...

Post run workout: Just an ab/core workout...

30 sit-ups, 30/30/30 secs front and side planks, 30 leg lifts, 30 russian twists, heels up.

Week 2

I need to find a way to better budget my time - I didn't realize what variable time constraints school was going to place on me.

Monday started rough, torrential downpour all day long outside and I only had my running shoes... Would this normally be a problem? No. I normally don't mind my running shoes soaking wet, but I had been away from home for a couple days and my kinvaras were the only shoes I had. Yesterday I was just swamped... EXCUSES EXCUSES, right? I have to plan better and buck up... Anyway, on to Wednesday...

Wednesday: So, tonight - gave the ol' Kinvaras a good test... 3.0mi jogged, .3mi walked... Felt great. Tonight I tried out my mizunos vs my kinvaras for a quick loop before starting. Honestly, they felt pretty similar. So, my plan is to wear the kinvaras until something seems to start feeling funny.

Post-jog... Broke it out old school. 25 sit ups, 15 push-ups, 30/30/30secs on front planks and oblique planks, 15 push-ups, 25 leg lifts, 15 push-ups, 20 "russian twists," heels up, 15 push-ups...
