My training schedule calls for cross training on Fridays. However, I didn't feel like going to the gym on Friday after work to sit on a bike or on eliptical trainer for 30 minutes. Instead, I ran/walked on the treadmill at work. I didn't push it, knowing I had a long run scheduled for the next morning. I wasn't thrilled about running and being all sweaty and gross in front of coworkers but there could be worse things.
Friday: 30 minutes walking and running
Saturday: 4 miles, TM, 10.20/average pace.
I had a really good run on Saturday, despite it happening on a treadmill and despite the fact that I put it off until about 8.00 on a Saturday night. The gym was dead so I had the place pretty much to myself. My legs felt really strong throughout and I felt like I could have gone longer than the 4 miles my schedule called for. I'm extremely grateful that this run went so well because my running this week has felt so forced. I think this is due in part to the fact that my cycle started this week and I have a mild case of the winter blues. Saturday's run going so well gives me a little bit more enthusiasm and confidence for the week ahead.
Total miles for the week: 15
Strength training sessions: 1
