Today I had to reschedule my strength session to next week and pushed my run to tonight. The run was short (mile?) to keep the run streak alive.

RW Run Streak 4.75 mi

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:11:56 -0700

I woke up bright and early for spin class this morning. It was fantastic! I am doing my best to make 4 classes happen this week. 1 down, 3 to go.

4.75 mi along the beach tonight. My legs are acclimating to the higher weekly mileage.

I still need to chose my next race…

RW Run streak - easy 3.75 miles along the beach. Saw dolphins, baby dolphins, and a sea lion. I love summertime!

Long run done!

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:36:15 -0700

It feels like forever since I ran long but today I got it done. 14.75. Not going to lie, feeling a bit lightheaded. Hopefully nothing that drinking a bunch of electrolytes will not fix. I need to check my totals but for the last 7 days: 30-32 mi, 2 spin classes, 2 strength sessions. Feel strong!

10 mi complete! Proud of Abby. She fell at mile 1.5 of our run but kept on running. Now 5 more miles on the beach…

RW Run Streak 1 Mi with a whole lot of DOMS

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:50:39 -0700

Due to a weird series of events, my trainer and I had to reschedule a couple of sessions from last month. It resulted in me working out with her 4 out of the the last 8 days. I cannot even tell you how badly I wanted to hurl her across the basketball court this morning. I am convinced she is trying to kill me. I know that my body will thank her later but so many parts of me hurt right now. I had planned on spinning tonight but to be honest, I am not sure I can sit on a bike until tomorrow morning. :) Weight training is the real deal! OUCH. I did get a mile in before our workout so the run streak continues….

RWRun Streak 3.75 mi including cool down. I am not sure why my Garmin has not found a satellite the past 2 days. Hopefully it will be back in business tomorrow. Spin took a sideline for one more day. Back to spin tomorrow! @runwrite - when are we going to do a spin meetup????

RW Run Streak continues. Ran along the beach with Rae. Gorgeous evening! Garmin did not pick up mileage but this was 4.25ish with another .5 cool down. My trainer has been working me ragged for the past week. I met her this morning for an hour of core and HIIT with a mile of stair repeats. Ouch! I definitely felt those stairs while running tonight. Tomorrow morning I return to spin after a couple of weeks away. I am such a spin addict that I dream about it. I plan to make it to 4 spin classes this week.

Day 3 - RW Run Streak - 5k. I had planned to do a long run/brick this morning but my workout partners bailed. My body gave in to sleeping in. I spent the day cleaning and running errands and had to force myself out the door for these miles. Always feels better on the other side!

Day 2 - RW Run Streak - 3.5ish mi. Ran sans Garmin so I am not sure exactly how far or how fast but gave it a good effort (felt fast). Switched my long run to tomorrow morning.

Day 11 - RW Run streak - starting over

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:40:53 -0700

1 hr hiit training + 1 mi AM, 3.75 mi PM. The day began with an hour of hiit with my trainer (included a mile of stairs and running around he park). The day ended with 3.75 along the beach. My alarm is set for an early long run (10-14 mi). Happy weekend everyone!

Run Streak ReDo

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:51:23 -0700

Bad news: I am taking a mulligan on the Runner’s World Run Streak. I did not make every day happen this week so I begin again tomorrow. My revised goal is to run every day through July 6.

Good news: Bought my tickets to Peru next month. South America here I come!
