YOGA, 6MILE TM, PUSHUPS & SITUPS!!

9:30am – 11am – yoga. Went back for another class. It was great! I can’t even begin to write down what we did. All I know is that I did more today than I did last time, and it felt great!

1:05pm – Gym was nice an empty again. I jumped on the TM, incline 0%, and set it for 5.6, ran for for 1:03:21 for 6 miles. It felt awesome!!! Thought it might hurt after the yoga, but it didn’t. I wanted to do a longer run since I didn’t run at all this weekend because of the snow. But I got to the gym later than I wanted and I had to get the kids, so I settled for a really good 6 mile run!

Avg HR was 136 Cardiac drift: 146

M2 - 10:32 123bpm

6:45pm – Was going to do my pushups and situps tomorrow as I was a bit sore from yoga this morning, but I was scheduled to do them today and I just wanted to do them, so I did LOL

TRAINING STARTED TODAY; LONG ISLAND MARATHON ONLY 16 WEEKS, 6 DAYS AWAY:)

Legs are feeling really good, but I have to start doing stretching/yoga. It's official, Marathon training for me started today. I am running the Long Island Marathon as a tune up, to gain experience for when I run NYC in November. I'm really excited for this race. The course is flat, though many say extremely boring, you run one loop and then repeat. Funny, though I haven't done it yet, I am excited for this kind of a course. Time will tell:)

1:55pm - TM set at 0% incline & 6.0 speed. Ran for 30:00 minutes for 3 miles

M1 - 10:20 161bpm
M2 - 10:20 179bpm
M3 - 10:20 167bpm

Employees were vacuuming again, so HR was all over the place, but I'm not concerned cause I know at this pace on the TM my HR stays well within 65-70%
