Well I finally registered for the 5k! Edouard Michelin 5k, here I come.

Monday - #onemilemonday 4mi run and liftSo, because of my 80-mile August challenge, I upped "one mile Monday" to 4 miles today. Felt like running through split pea soup… disgusting. Hard to breathe and feel any kind of relief. But guess what? I was FAST. Average 8:34/mi ( ( Read more... )

The week overall went well, stuck with the plan other than this past weekend which was up in the air due to traveling. Feeling pretty good about my progress and need to go ahead and sign up for that 5k!

Monday - #onemilemonday and liftDecided to get a little speedy on the t'mill this morning for my one mile. Clocked at 7:36! I know I can go faster ( Read more... )

Also, I've made a plan to try to get a sub-25 5k in August! We're in town for the Michelin 5k and it's usually a pretty good ( Read more... )

Monday - #onemilemonday and liftingDecided since hashtags are oddly motivating for me, I would start a #onemilemonday for ( Read more... )

Monday - lift and walkLifted weights in the morning before the day got crazy with meetings. Felt good to get back in the gym! Started out with 15 mins of core work, then did all sorts of lifts including 20lb kettlebell swings, 75lb squat, 60lb bench press, assisted pull-ups, curls, leg curls, triceps pull-down, and other assorted exercises.
