Training Day #51 - September 14, 2010
This week has brought about a much needed attitude adjustment! I’m in much better spirits and have the tenacious need to kick this training into gear! I opted for the indoor run today….the skies were overcast and there was a chance for rain.
I spent some time on weights, oh, how I’ve missed them! I actually needed some good muscle warm-up to get things back on track. I worked out on these for about 20 minutes before heading to the treadmill.
I wasn’t hoping for a record finish, I just wanted to put forth more effort. I programmed in the “5K Loop” and started out with a nice warm up walk. I pushed through some pain and lack of oxygen to finish at 44:28 minutes. Little over my usual but I was happy with the fact that I ran about half the time and walked the other.
Training Day #52 - September 16, 2010 (MY final training run!!)
I, again, ran on the treadmill today. I had to take Charlee to another basketball practice and thought I’d spend my hour and a half wisely.
I went straight to the treadmill and set off on a 10 minute warm up walk. I then set into my jogging pace and jogged for 20 minutes. I closed out my time with a 10 minute warm “down” walk. I finished in about my usual time: 41 minutes or so (I wasn’t watching my time too closely).
I can’t believe that 17 weeks of training have come to a “close”. The race is in three days!
Let’s bring….it….ON!!!!!!!!!!!
