Running

I have definitely been more into running the last couple of weeks. I am getting ready for the Midnight sun run in little less then a month. I'm a bit nervous that I won't be as fast as last time, but all I can do is train and see what happens...

 Sunday I ran a 10K in 45:27. Which isn't too bad but not a PR either. I then finished up seven miles. Monday WOD:

Front squat - 70 lbs

21 - 1:39

Rest 2 min

15 - :38

Rest 2 min

9 - :20

Then I did 400 m sprints/recovery outside for three miles. My sprints were,

1 - 1:29

2  1:23

3 - 1:26

4 - 1:26

 

Today I did another 10k but slowly and relaxed... 49:50. 

Day 39

Todays WOD:

AMRAP in 10 Min of:
5 Pull ups - purple band assist
10 Thrusters - 20 lbs

13 Rounds + 5 Pull ups

Ran 4.75 miles, but don't know how fast as Jackson kept interrupting me every five minutes. It was fast as I was pushing hard.

Didn't have time for my thing, as Emma was up and Jackson was hangry.

Day 38

On Sunday, I ran 10 miles for the first time in almost two years. It went surprisingly well for all that. I really wanted to do it in eight minute miles and I averaged 7:58. So I was right on. Monday, I did;

AMRAP in 20 minutes of

Run 400 meters

Then 3 rounds of

5 pull ups

10 push ups

15 squats

I got 4 rounds with nine seconds left on the clock. I did bpu the first two rounds, but the the third was half and half and, the fourth was all girl. 

Then I did Monday's wod which was a bit dumb.

7 rounds of:

15 Hip extensions

3 bpu

I did it in just over a minute but then thought maybe I had done it wrong because everyone else was getting over three to four minutes so I kept doing them until I reached 3:15. Whatever.

Yesterday was off because I was so tired. 

Today, equally tired, I did this.

Run 1600 meters - 6:39

Rest 3 min

Run 1200 meters - 4:57

Rest 2 min 

Run 800 meters - 3:13

Rest 1 min

Run 400 - 1:34

Then I ran another  mile and a quarter for a total of 4.25 miles. Then I did,

15 pull ups

20 bpu

25 bsu 

35 sec hs - did 4 hspu with a five inch box under my head.

Day 25

Wow! I did SO much today. I cleaned out and reorganized the kids closet, and went through Jackson's clothes and then I cleaned and organized my closet and weeded out my too big clothes to put into storage for next time I get fat.

AND I exercised. So tired!

Today's WOD was:

64 pull ups
8 Front Squat 45 lbs

4:37

Then I ran 5 miles in 36:54. It was a good, hard workout.

Day 24

Wow, it's been a baaaaddd week! And it's only Wednesday! Oh well. Ben and Milla are moving and what the HELL are we going to do without Ben?!

So, I came home yesterday, emotionally exhausted and exercised for a LOONNGG time.

Yesterdays WOD was:

21 15 9 6 3 of

HSPU
Front Squat 45 lbs
Burpees

I did it in 10:54.  Then I ran 4.5 miles. I did three miles of 400 sprints with 400m recovery runs in between.
Then I did my little thing  of
10 pull ups
15 push ups
20 situps
30 seconds of handstand

Today, wanted to sleep instead of working out so I left it too late of course.

I did Monday's WOD because I liked it better.

3 Rounds for time of:
50 Pistol squats alternating legs
7 Pull ups

I finished in 8:31
Then I ran 1.5 miles in about 11 minutes.

Then,
10 pull ups
15 push ups
20 situps
30 seconds of handstands.

I am hoping that if I do the little thing at the end then I'll stop losing strength between WODS. Sometimes it's such a long time between doing these elements that I lose ground.
I think I'll do it in a two week cycle and then increase by five reps after two weeks. We'll see.

Tomorrow I will post about my 1 year from PP. I haven't because I was on my period and frankly bloated and didn't want to step on the scale or measure. 

So tomorrow. 

Day 22

So last week I ran a total of 28 miles, which makes me happy. Unfortunately I am still not going nearly as fast outside as I was inside. I need to train more. Blah! But I did an eight mile run in 1:02:47, which was faster then last week, so that's good. I am needing to get my act in gear if I am going to break my PR for the Midnight Sun Run in June.

I am not going to work out today as my baby keeps waking up every five minutes and she's in my closet because I didn't want her to wake her brother up. Oh well. I'm really tired today anyway.

But TOMORROW, I'm going to kick ASS! :)
