Wow what a summer we have had so far...so hot and sunny that i can't bear to stay inside with a computer on my lap and update my blog. Sorry again for the millioneth time...but really who wants to be inside typing away on the ol'laptop? Not me. as i write this i am home at lunch to let Laila out and it's a rainy day. So the perfect day and time to catch you all up!
I have decided and have been training for the Legs for Literacy marathon, Oct 24th, 2010. I am training with 3 other wonderful ladies...shout outs to Kendra, Jaclyn and Stephanie! You ladies push me and i LOVE it. Training with a group of gals and/or guys is so beneficial! It's the key to bettering your time and your running. For the 3 last half marathon's i trained for i did it alone and i have improved lots since then.
We only train 3 days a week running wise as we find with the cross training that's enough and then you lower our risks of injury! Kendra and i attend yoga 3-4 times weekly with our wonderful yogi, Lise at NuBody's/Goodlife downtown Moncton. What a great pairing with running...stretches you out while toning you up lot's! We also bike, spin, ab train and sometimes lift weights as our cross training regime!
This Saturday am for our long run we are up to 16k, still far away from our 42.2 race day! But we are getting there! Last night we all ended up having to do our tempo 10k's separately but i managed to rock mine...i am very proud of myself, i did 10k in 53 min for the first time and averaged a pace between 4:45 and 5:10 min/km! We normally train Tue (speed work), Wed (10k tempo/hills soon) and long runs Sat am. If anyone wants to join us at any point we welcome them! The more the merrier!
Happy running and working out all:) Keep up the hard work!
