I have been splitting up my training into 4-week chunks. This is the last week of what I called Base 2 - which means a recovery week - 8.5 hours total. This was also the second week after I bruised my ribs - so I was slowly trying to get back into my workouts without pushing too hard. I did not do any Strength Training, Yoga, or Swimming - because I didn't want to aggravate my ribs, and I also just felt like taking it easy.
Come to find out, I still met my weekly goal!
On another note, this week I made it to 1000 miles on my bike!
I took it in to Performance Bike to get free adjustments - and they even cleaned up my chain for me!
Monday
- Barefoot Beach Party! 5.6 mile run
(both of us did get blood blisters on our big toes from this - but I think we both agree it was totally worth it!)
Tuesday
- Bike to work and back 7 miles
- Lunch Run 5.4 miles
Also, I took the opportunity this week to cut 1 mile of uphill off of my morning bike commute by catching a bus for part of my commute - always makes me feel lazy but 1 mile less is better than no bike at all!
Wednesday
- Bike to work and back 7 miles
Thursday
- Bike to work and back 7 miles
Friday
- Bike to work and back 7 miles
- Lunch Run 3.2 miles
Saturday
- LPQ Trail Run with Paul 8.24 miles
Sunday
- Bike trip to RnR 30.79 miles
Biked down to Mission Bay to spectate at the Rock n Roll Marathon & 1/2 Marathon - I had a friend running her first 1/2 marathon - she rocked it!
Then I biked back up North via the beach - had to take at least a gander at the waves on a beautiful day!
(see picture above!)
