Monday 8/31- 2.2 miles
Wednesday 9/2 -2.2 miles
Friday 9/4 2.2 miles
Monday 9/7 4.4 miles
This week was difficult with it being Labor Day weekend, and having Adrian come home and his parents and sister come visit. However, minus that I'm going to have to shift my Monday run for week three, it all worked out.
Two of my 2.2 mile runs this week were interval runs. I thought this would be a lot easier, but I was wrong. For my intervals, I did .1 mile walking, then .1 mile jogging, and then .2 mile sprinting. My first set went well, but then my "sprint" turned into more of a fast jog by the time I was done. It was also really difficult to do intervals using my phone, which is what I have been using to keep track of my mileage. I have an arm band, and put the arm band on my wrist. The screen would go black at all the wrong times, and I would start walking sooner than I was supposed to.
My other 2.2 mile was a jog, and I think that will be how I will do my short runs from now on.
Because Adrian's parents were in town this weekend, I didn't do my long run yesterday, and had to push it to today. The 4.4 miles didn't go by as hard as the 4 miles last week, until I got to the last quarter mile, then I wanted it to end more than anything.
On the bright side, because it was Labor Day and there were a bunch of sales going on, Adrian and I went shopping. Adrian bought my a pair of brand new running shoes, and I bought myself a TomTom Running watch, I'm hoping the watch will make my interval training easier to do. So I will let ya'll know how it goes.
The lady who sold us our new shoes said she has a running clinic once a month that is free to go to, so I'm going to try to see if I can go and get some more information about proper training.
Here's to another successful week!
Thanks for reading,
Laura
