Weekend Workouts - brag or complain here!

[boston340]

What did your workout schedule look like this weekend?

Friday: swim workout - 40 minutes

Saturday: swim clinic, mostly worked on kicking form (which really struggling with)

Sunday: 14 mile long run on the treadmill - wind was AWFUL and I just didn't want to deal with it.

[Susie]

Fri: Unplanned rest day.  Usually I swim @ 5am on Fridays, and all week I've been dragging after last weekend's travel saga @ my parents/lack of down time.  Thurs PM I decided my body needed to sleep "in" until 7 much more than it needed to swim.

Sat:  3:30 brick: 3 hour bike + 30 min run

Sun:  1:55 brick:  30 min bike + 1:25 run

In spite of the unplanned 2nd rest day, I just missed (by 8 minutes) breaking 10 hours of workout time this week.  I have a (planned) rest day tomorrow and I think I will still take it.

For my complaint:  I'm so tired of riding in the wind and 40* weather.  

For my brag:  I'm really happy with my running, and am actively enjoying training w/o managing an injury.

Nice work all!! Enjoy your taper IMTX ladies!

Friday - easy 2 mile run
Saturday - 15 miles with last 6 slightly faster than goal marathon pace
Sunday - work / rest

I'm glad I decided to go longer on Saturday than I normally would 2 weeks pre-marathon. The run started awful into the wind, but did get better. Once I turned around it was awesome. I'm finally feeling better about the rough patch & shortened runs two weeks ago.

You PUT. IT. DOWN!!!!!

My long workouts were in the middle of the week, and my weekend workouts were sort of foiled by my sick little muffin. Totaled about 5 hrs. So, pretty anticlimactic way to slide on in to TAAAAAAAPER!!!!

[melmel48]

I did the same race as bostonmichelle and didn't do too bad considering I got sick, and I lost all feeling in both legs and feet. I now want to do another 10k to redeem myself.

kams chw57 Congrats on making it to taper!! I can't wait for our GTG!

[labbie]

Complaint:

I did some yoga on Friday morning followed by a girls' weekend away that involved no exercise other than bringing a glass or some type of food up to my mouth. It was so good to see old friends but I'm ready for a new week and some exercise and healthy eating!

There are some seriously impressive workouts in here - great stuff ladies!
I did the Wolf Run with a friend of mine. She LOVED it. Here's a pic, I'm the blonde on the right, but you guys knew that!Attachment Deleted

Friday: spin
Saturday: rest
Sunday: consecutive 5k and 10k races. FINALLY went sub-30 on a 5k, finished in 29:15. 10k was way rougher, finished in 1:06 (just did the 10k race last year and did 1:02). My plan was to go all out for the 5k and half-ass the 10k but I'm still beating myself up over it. Half next weekend, going to try to pace myself at 10:20-10:30 based on today.
