Just one race at a time

rest day... I needed it hiny still sore from hills.

3.2 miles .5 @ 9:13 and then 2.5 @ 8:34 .2 cool down

Lifted for legs EZ they are still feeling Saturdays run.

OK here is the deal with the push-up challenge (notice I said challenge not CONTEST).  I am going to do the push-ups Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights before I go to bed, and then report on the following days.  You can report your progress here or on your own blog. 

I did 20 push-ups (girly ones) during my initial test and so I am going to start in column three tonight.  Good luck to all of you.   I will need your support… this is the third time I have tried to do this so DO NOT let me quit!

4.3 EZ miles

Push-up challenge -  after my first work out not as sore as I thought I would be. Maybe the "max" I thought I could do really should be more. Monday night I followed the third column for the first week and then did 20 for my max. I did the last few with good form but fast, I think I will try to slow down on Wednesday to make it harder.

.5 miles @ 9:13, 2.5 miles @ 8:20 (not really marathon pace but not sure where to put it) last .5 was hard and I dropped it down twice but when right back up.  Why can I do 13 miles at this pace during a race and 2.5 is hard on the treadmill.  I have got to work on my Jedi mind games!

Lifted for calves

Spin - We did what the instructor lovingly calls over and under intervals.  Where you get your body over puke pace, hold it for 30 - 40 seconds and then drop just under that pace (NOT RECOVERY!)  We did this in several variations for an hour.  I am so dead I am going to take a bath and then a nap!  I really need to start counting my cross training mile I think I average 16-20 a week.

Woke up and I could barely move I was so sore from spin,  I am going to have a rest day today.  I may walk tonight but even that sounds painful now.

Push-up Challenge - Second day I was more sore than I thought I could only do 15 for my max... at this rate I will be doing 100 push-up at Christmas time. Oh well it is only day two. How are the rest of you doing?

Boy spin on Wednesday really did a number on my legs!  Even after taking the day off yesterday I couldn't do my usual elliptical work out today.  I started out normally and in my mind I even wanted to beat last weeks time.  Soon after 4 miles I had to lower the resistance from 12 to 7 and then for the last mile I was at 1.  So you would think with the resistance that low I would have killed on the time but no I was done with the six miles in 49:20.  Well live and learn.  I still think I would do it all over again I loved that spin work out!  I well see if my legs are still feeling it for tomorrows run.

Lifted for legs (all over)
