Well this was a productive week - until the end . . .
Monday - 5.14 mile run and 6.44 miles (30 minutes) on the bike - this Monday was not as hard as prior Mondays so I felt like I am improving and getting accustomed to all of the weekend workouts
Tuesday - well this became an unscheduled rest day as my son got the stomach bug :(
Wednesday - easy 3 mile run
Thursday - running speed day! Easy 1.2 mile warm up then tempo time with a goal of 5 miles at 8:40 pace. Actual pace for those 5 miles ended up at 8:38 :) yahoo! Then a little over a mile cool down. In the evening I rode the bike for 30 min and ended up with 7.5 miles. Speed day all day :) these were great workouts and really helped my confidence!
Friday - as usual a scheduled rest day. I considered working out since I missed Tuesday but work got in the way so I stuck with the rest day.
Saturday - 17 mile run! Felt better than last weeks 15 miler and finished with a comfortable 9:51 pace overall with the second half faster than the first.
But by 3 pm on Saturday I had the stomach bug! :( oh no! I hope none of you get this bug as it really was awful! So then Sunday became an I am sleeping all day kind of day! So that is what I did.
Although I missed a day of hard workouts I know that there is plenty of time to make up that day before the race. So I am going to rest for a couple of days and come back healthy and ready to keep moving forward with my training.
