Weekly Wrap #2

My daughter and I kicked off the week by reconnecting with nature. As we were both getting ready for our hike, she asked if we were going to the YMCA. When I said we were going out to the trails in the forest, she grew ecstatic! For the first mile Eisley rode in the carrier. We took a little snack break and then she insisted on hiking the second mile herself. Lil' wildflower got some toddler exercise, I got some relaxing time outdoors, and we both were happy (especially me, for how easily she went down for nap afterwards)! SUNDAY: Hiked 2 miles MONDAY: RAN 6.05 miles @7:47 pace TUESDAY: Strength/walked 1 mile WEDNESDAY: RAN 8.52 miles @8:37 pace/walked .5 mile THURSDAY: Rest FRIDAY: Rest SATURDAY: RAN 5.03 miles @8:08 pace/walked 1 mile Total weekly miles: 24.10  On Monday, it was back on the treadmill. I had planned to run a couple miles since my half marathon   was only two days before, but I found my groove and was feeling great! Tuesday w...

It’s pretty wild to think about finishing the first six weeks of this training cycle already! Distance wise, the furthest ‘long run’ has only been 15 miles, which isn’t much more than a half. Hearing that sure makes a 50k sound soooo far away, but the weekly miles have been steadily increasing while helping to build a solid base. My legs have definitely been getting stronger. I notice the change of effort required to run up steep hills that used to be very challenging and energy consuming. Besides the usual hilliness of the training runs thus far, the plan is now incorporating one day of hill repeats during an 8 mile run. This past week, my ‘hills’ day called for 7 miles, but I went ahead and did 9.06 stroller miles. My pace sure slows down while pushing the little one, but when we pick a route including some wicked climbs, it’s the perfect mix of strength training, endurance, and mommyhood. SUNDAY: Hiked 1.25 miles MONDAY: RAN 4.76 miles @10:12 pace w/stroller TUESDAY: R...

Weekly Wrap #14

The 30 day run streak only stretched until the 4 th of July, ending after day 34. I really, truly wanted to continue, but I literally did not have the extra time the week. My level of “busyness” was drinking smoothies because I didn’t have time to eat and wondering if I last showered on Tuesday or Wednesday, and it was Saturday. SLEEP > SHOWER SUNDAY: Walked 2.09 miles MONDAY: RAN 4.18 miles @9:56 pace w/ stroller TUESDAY: RAN 20.01 miles @9:26 pace WEDNESDAY: Group outdoor yoga class THURSDAY: RAN 3.26 miles @8:46 pace w/ stroller FRIDAY: “ Rest” + early packet pickup SATURDAY: “Rest” + Chuckanut Footrace Total weekly miles: 29.54 On Tuesday, three random winners were announced after completing the 30 days of #StreakingWithTheCoolKids challenge hosted by Jen Davis A.K.A. @Pinkcupcakegirl on Instagram. When I checked   my phone and saw a lot of unusual notifications, I realized that I had been one of the chosen winners. Woohooooo! Over ...
