I ran 5.93 miles today. I was scheduled to do 6.5. My legs were already protesting after 4.5 miles. I have to do more reading on fueling while running. I had half a sandwich thin with 1 tbsp of natural almond butter before this morning's run along wtih some Gaspari Super Pump Max (grape) before and during the run. I got enough sleep last night but was still gassed earlier than I though I should have been. But I can say this is the furthest I have ever run so it was a P.R. (personal record) which felt good. I am more than ready for the 5k in 4 weeks and the 8k in 7 weeks. A few of the hills that I normally walk on this trail, I ran them today.
I didn't get in as much weight lifting this week as I had planned. I did Jackie Warner's 40 minute total body DVD on Monday and was sore all the way through Thursday so I did not do more than that one weights workout. I have a Firm Weights Circuit DVD schedule for tomorrow (Total Body Time Crunch). I enjoy workouts from The Firm. I chose Jackie Warner on Monday because it's difficult for me and hits all the muscle groups. The Firm is fun because they break up weights with cardio. I have some Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper DVDs that I will mix in along the way.
I'm not super sore right now. I guess we will see how I feel tomorrow. I stretched really well this morning after the run and literally got back in the bed. Maybe that's why I'm not sore right now. I can't say for sure. My foot wants to hurt sometimes after long runs but the discomfort always goes away in a day or two.
In all I covered 11.48 miles this week. I use runkeeper the app to track my miles and routes.
