10.5

Right on. 10.5 miles for the week. This is my first real week towards training, and I'm proud of it.

Monday - rest
Tuesday - 3.3 at lunch, hatha flow class in evening (very sore-inducing)
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - basic hatha in evening (very sore at this point)
Friday - 1.9 at lunch
Saturday - 5.34 on trails with Kiera
Sunday - hike xx? distance

This morning's run ended up being a little farther than I expected, as was yesterday's lunch time run (I ended up using gmap pedometer to check and see). Mike let us use his "geek watch" for this morning's run. (Many thanks go to Mike for watching Ash on Saturday mornings.) At the end, as we were running back on the road (yes, we actually ran the additional one mile round trip from Kiera's house to Sabino this week!), the Garmin showed us at a sub-10-minute mile. That was pretty darn cool, and really made me want to get one of my own. Sigh. Maybe someday.

Because this morning's run was farther and I've been feeling extra sore, I decided to forgo tomorrow's hatha flow yoga class. I am going for a hike with friend, and I'd really like to take care of my body. I don't need to add that yoga class in. Instead, I'll do an easier class Monday night. My schedule for next week (not the one Kiera found; I'm still working on that one) has me running five times:

Monday - 3.3 at lunch, followed by basic hatha in evening
Tuesday - 5.5 in the morning, followed by hatha flow in evening (my favorite!)
Wednesday - 2 to3 at lunch, rest in evening
Thursday - rest, basic hatha in evening
Friday - 2 to 3 at lunch or in the morning, rest in evening
Saturday - 4 to 5 with Kiera, head up to Mesa for my mom's birthday
Sunday - rest

In reviewing this, I am a little worried about it. I want to ease into my training. I only ran three times and had two yoga classes last week and I was sore. To go up to five runs and three yoga classes makes me worried. The three yoga classes aren't bad; I've been doing that for awhile. It's the five runs that's got me worried, even though they are so small. I think I might skip Monday's run, depending on how I feel. If tomorrow's hike isn't far, I'll run. Maybe I'll run Monday and take Wednesday as a full rest day - no yoga, no running. Oh, I think that's much better. I'll do that.

Thanks for listening to me work out my training! :)

I'm taking a hatha-type yoga class once a week and I'm surprised how sore it can make me!

hey you're getting it worked out. yay!! I don't think jumping up to 5 days is bad unless of course you were running 6+ miles each time.

Just be aware of your body and if you are too sore on Monday take an extra rest day, like you said.
