Lots of catching up.

I ended up rearranging my schedule a bit this week and missed my Insanity Cardio Recovery day, but I am not too concerned about it :P


Friday and Saturday: Off

Sunday: Watermelon Crawl!
8am - 8 mi group run to celebrate 4th of July.
Weather - Great! Sunny, upper 70s at the start low 80s at the finish.
Shoe - New pair of Ghost 2's.
Recovery/Supplements - WATERMELON! and 12 oz Accelerade.

Monday:
11am - Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance, Approx 40 min (incl 5 min HR recovery) starting HR (bpm) 64, peak 193 (!), avg 151, 517 cal.
Shoe - Infiniti 2
Recovery/Supplements - 12oz Accelerade, did additional calf stretching.

Of note - Whew...I definitely brought it yesterday!  The traveling push ups still kick my ass, but I am getting better.  My knees are a little sore today, I was killing the power jumps, so it makes sense.  I am finally starting to feel stronger and more powerful!

Today:
9:30am - 3 mi with the boyfriend, 3:1 intervals.
Weather - Partly sunny, 84*, 74% humidity.
Shoe - Wave Rider 12.

Of note - Ended up cutting this run short, but it was still good.  Wore ourselves out a bit early sprinting and trying to only have one footfall per sidewalk square...it got really hard in the neighborhoods that have rectangles :P

2 for 1.

Yesterday:
10 am - INSANITY Plyometric Cardio Circuit, approx. 40 min, starting HR 63, peak 178, avg 147, 500 cal.  Again my stupid upper body strength is killing me, but hopefully I'll get better soon!
Shoe - Infinti 2
Recovery/Supplements - 12 oz Accelerade

Today:
9:30am - 4.5 mi with boyfriend, .3 mi cool down...no watch, no HRM...very nice!
Weather - Overcast, drizzly, approx 79 degrees...awesome!
Shoe - Wave Rider 13
Recovery/Supplements - 12 oz Accelerade

Of note - Today was one of the best running days you'll get in SE GA in the summer, the weather was so perfect.  My legs felt great and full of energy, my stomach was a little wobbly but I woke up not feeling so great and didn't give myself a full hour to digest breakfast.  It was still a great run in spite of that!
