How excited am I that of the 5 weeks I'll have spent Base Training, 3 of them will have been spent away from home and that I'm still keeping up with my training cycle!
Last week, I got all of my planned runs in and even got an extra half-mile in so that my actual weekly mileage was 12 (versus my planned 11.5) but I missed one of my cross-training workouts. I was feeling pretty under the weather on Wednesday and was in the city all day dealing with some things about my new apartment.
I set two goals for last week:
-Run in the early morning for one of my training runs. PASS
-Build up to 30 minutes during a cross-training session. FAIL
Since I only managed one cross-training session and I did it in the midst of a huge time crunch, I only got up to 25 minutes and I'll be honest, it's probably going to be pretty difficult to get in a 30-minute session this week since I'm not too sure if I'll be able to x-train on Friday. I usually x-train at the gym and since I'll be away, and staying with friends, I'm not too sure what I can do for a cross-training workout...any advice?
So this week's training plan is:
Monday: Rest Day
Tuesday: 3 mile run
Wednesday: Cross-Training
Thursday: 3 mile run
Friday: Cross-Training
Saturday: 2.5 mile run
Sunday: 5 mile run
And since I got in an early 4 mile run, followed by a late night 2 mile run, and then spent my Sunday taking multiple trips up my 5-floor walk-up, I don't really plan to get out of bed today, meaning, I'm taking Rest Day to the extreme and it's going to be great!
It's going to be tough to get all my workouts in this week given the fact that I'll be in a car for 10+ hours on Thursday, but I'll do it! And I hope you all hold me to it!
