Training recap week of 3/9 (Pixie Dust Challenge Week 10)

Another week has come and gone!  The weather finally seems to be turning - thank god!  It was so nice on Wednesday for my speed work - it made me so happy!  I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays like this.

I also completed week 2 of the Yoga Shred Challenge.  Short workouts for 14 days were a good way to ease back into Yoga.  I still don't love Yoga enough that I could see myself doing it all the time, but if I could get a couple in every now and then I think that would really help my flexibility.

Monday
Scheduled: Rest
Actual: Rest
Cross Training: Yoga Shred Day 8

Tuesday
Scheduled: 4 miles easy
Actual: 4.05, 39:18, 9:43 pace
Cross Training: Yoga Shred Day 9

Wednesday
Scheduled: Speedwork - 3 miles at Half Marathon Race Pace
Total miles: 5.89
Paces: 8:15, 8:01, 7:51
Cross Training: Yoga Shred Day 10

I honestly wasn't sure what this pace should be.  To PR my pace needs to be about an 8:20 so I figured lets see how that feels.  My legs were feeling great and the paces were strong.  Not sure if I could hold those for a half right now, but nice to see what my legs are capable of right now.

Thursday
Scheduled: 4 miles easy
Actual: 2.75 26:48, 9:45 pace
Cross Training: Yoga Shred Day 11

I had a work event on Thursday night so I had to do this run in the AM.  I (of course) did not get up early enough to get all 4 miles in.  2.75 is better then nothing though!  And I still did my Yoga Shred workout.

Friday
Scheduled: Rest
Actual: Rest
Cross Training: Yoga Shred Day 12

I was cheering for the NYC Half Marathon and jumped in with Abby for some miles in the park.  I looked afterwards and roughly calculated the 2.89 mi.

Miles until goal (1,250): 1,037.57

How did everyone's week go?
