Track , Gym, and Wine

Today was a track day! Being in the peak of marathon training, the workouts are definitely getting harder. Today was no exception:

On the schedule: 3 x (2 x 1200) @ 4:55

Stats:
5.55 miles
37.19 minutes
6:43 average pace

Splits:
1 mile warm up (8:14)

1~ 4:55 - (6:27 pace)
2~ 4:49 - (6:23 pace)
3~ 4:45- (6:21 pace)

**water/phone break**
I called my dad, since he was at work and couldn't come...

4~4:49 - (6:22 pace)
5~4:46 - (6:17 pace)
6~4:52 - (6:29 pace)

I walked a 400 meter RI in between each one and took a longer break in between splits 3 and 4. I felt great during this workout! Even though it was overcast and a little rainy, the weather was 67 and it felt beautiful! This is one workout I would not have been able to complete in the 90 degree heat and humidity NJ has been having.

After the track I ate lunch and showered. A little bit later I met my mom at the gym for a weights sesh. We did back, shoulder, chest, biceps, triceps and core. I spent about a 1/2 hour making a pretty chart for you that blogger won't let me post! So frustrating!!


It felt good to get back to the weight room. I haven't done a solo workout in awhile and my body needed it. I was a little sore from a great yoga class yesterday but it was definitely worth it. Now, after all that activity I am relaxing with a glass of wine in my big round chair.
