Somehow, I ran nearly 18 miles last week. I’m not sure how that happened.
Oh wait, I know how it happened. I actually followed my training plan! I lifted weights twice too. Amazing!
I really need to get myself in gear and stick to my training plan. I’m trying to get up half an hour earlier to either lift, run 3 miles, or… do something else. Let me explain.
Monday – Weights
Tuesday – Run (short)
Wednesday – Weights
Thursday – Run (mid-length, speedwork)
Friday – Run (short)
Saturday – Bike (or maybe rest, since I’m not training for any bike races right now)
Sunday – Run (long)
So I have to figure out how to allocate these workouts. The short runs and the weights can be done in the morning before work. The speedwork cannot. So on Thursday, I can either sleep in or I can do something else in the morning. I’m thinking maybe ab work. And the best thing is that it leaves most of my evenings free so I can take the bike out if I want.
I’ve managed to put on about 25 lbs in the past 5 years, which is frustrating. I’ve been trying to lose for about a year, with zero results. So I’m just trying to change it up, make slight changes to my fitness plan and slight changes to my eating plan and see where that gets me.
