My Little Buddy

One of my favorite things to do is take a short nap before work with our bearded dragon.

This is my enrty for Sunday With Ola SWOLA86

Saturday Workout

I ended up skipping my workout on Thursday.  I was feeling a little off, and decided one more day of rest was needed.

I'm feeling much better today.  When I get off from work at 7pm I'm going to do my hill repeat workout.  I'm feeling better today and looking forward to my after work workout.

Got my Sunday With Ola 85 up and running.

I've felt a little off this week.  Haven't done much running.  I'll probably hit some scheduled hill repeats Saturday evening.

Running... Progress?

Last Saturday my workout was pretty straight forward. Warm-up, one mile at a very hard effort, then a cool down.  The warm-up went well, and it all fell apart right after that.  I was hoping to run close to a 6 min mile, but ended up running close to a 7:35 pace.  I did the workout at the track. The first lap felt good, the second wasn't bad, and then the last half mile fell apart.  I think I was just a little more tired than I realized, and I was having a bad day.  I also need to accept that these days happen.

On Sunday I did my workout with my friends, a workout that isn't part of the Garmin workout.  We mix weights with a track workout.  Basically 20 reps of whatever we decide, then one lap around the track, and repeat. I usually end up doing 3-4 miles within around an hour.  On Sunday I got two miles in and called it a day.  I know that I wasn't feeling very energetic and also really ate bad that day and I feel like I didn't get in enough calories for what that workout requires. 

I was supposed to do a 5 mile run on Monday, but forgot that it was on Monday and I did it on Tuesday.  I ran later in the day and it was hotter than what I'm use to right now.  I basically did my 10 min warm-up, got 2 miles into my 5 mile run and called it a day.  I just wasn't feeling it.  I feel like I'm not getting the sleep I need as well, and everything is catching up to me.

Tomorrow I have 5 x 800 meter repeats on the schedule.   Hopefully it goes well.
