Getting in Shape

1/2 Marathon Week 5.5

Hey girls! So this week has been pretty crazy for me. I am turning in my application to grad school today, and have been struggling with my application all week! Here was the schedule for this week:

Monday: Strength and stretch. (I added 60 minutes of cross training because I didn't work out on Sunday. I went snowboarding instead!)
Tuesday: rest (I decided to do a test run with a spray tan before my Vegas trip this weekend, and didn't realize I couldn't work out until 5 hours after I got it. ;/ oops.)
Wednesday: Abs, 4 mile run
Thursday: 4 mile run, upper body strength workout
Friday: Im going to try and get 2 miles in when I get to Vegas. I arrive at like 10:30am, and my other friends won't get there until like 2, which is when we check in. :)
Saturday and Sunday: I highly doubt I will get any excercise in. :/

I plan on making up the 6 mile run on Monday when I get home.

How has your training been going? It's really helpful with accountability if I hear how other people are doing.

  • Good luck with your grad school application!

    My half is in a month exactly today!  Eek!  I was doing Hal Higdon's intermediate program (just cause we had a head start) but since there was a bit of a break over the holiday/ski trip/cold we switched to the novice plan for the last month.  Thankfully starting up running again hasn't been as painful as usual.

    So my week -

    M:  gym - did 30 minutes on elliptical and upper body weight lifting
    T:   Run 4.5 miles (really did 4.8), also did some cardio at the gym and a pilates/yoga class
    W:  Supposed to run 3miles - but ended up working late - reminder of why I need to do the runs in the morning
    Th:  Run 4.5 miles (did the 4.8 length again), tennis match tonight
    F:  Probably day off/rest
    S:  8 Mile run!
    Su:  May go out hiking

    Keep up the good work everyone!
