Weekly Update

Last week went ok.

Monday night I did a little swimming with Skyler.
Tuesday I did a cardio workout at the gym. Ran 1/2 mile (to get my legs working again). Then 30 minutes on stairmaster and 20 minutes on elliptical.
Wednesday night I swam with Carrie and Kelly. We didn't swim too much, probably only 25 laps.
Thursday I did the elliptical for 20 minutes then went to spin class for one hour.
Friday I did a Jillian Michaels workout video. I didn't realize I would be so sore from it. Too many squats I guess.
Saturday I did elliptical for 20 minutes then spin class for one hour.
Sunday I ran 10 miles at 9:00 mile pace.

I'm trying to focus more on biking, but the weather hasn't been allowing me to do that. I'm trying to get to as many spin classes as possible. I'm also tapering for my marathon. I will probably run 6 miles at the end of the week and then 3 miles twice the next week. Then the big day! Ahhh!

Tuesday-Interval running for 30 minutes then elliptical for 25 minutes.
Wednesday-off
Thursday-Spin class for 60 minutes, then swimming with Carrie for 60 minutes (1 mile total).
Friday-off
Saturday-Got on my road bike for first time in four months. It felt great! Rode to beach and back (27 miles).
Sunday-Ran 20 miles. Yes, I said 20 miles. 3 hours and 2 minutes. My goal for the marathon is less than four hours. To be more specific, 3 hours 55 minutes, 48 seconds (9:00 mile pace). I can do it!
