Life has been crazy and I have struggled with keeping up this blog, but I am back to it. Since my last post I have trained a lot, ran a 5k, and got my wisdom teeth pulled out. My most recent 5k went pretty well I am a little disappointed, but I just need to keep working harder. My time was 22:22, not a pr, but considering the heat I am very happy with that time. I was the first female to finish, but came in second to another female by 12 seconds. Honsetly, that stung a little and I frustrated with myself for not pushing harder. I did come in first in my age group. Overall it was a great race and I still have lots to improve in. Last week I got my wisdom teeth pulled out, so I only ran 3 days last week and took the rest of the week off to heal. Now I am back to training and I am planning on doing a half marathon in 9 weeks. I will type up my 9 week training plan sometime this week.
This is what I did this morning:
4 mile run
100 double-unders
500 meter run
25 step-ups with 20-lb. dumbbells to 24-inch box
10:44
10 mins. of ladder drills to help with speed and footwork.
It was so nice to get back to training after having to take 4 days off. The weather is finally starting to cool down and today was a nice 75 degrees. It hasn't been that cool in a very long time.
