6 MILE RECOVERY RUN

9:30 - After I dropped my kids at school, I hit the gym for power yoga, (9:30 - 11am). I'm really enjoying it. It was my 4th class, and I already feel a difference when I run, and during the class I can tell that I am doing more of the moves, with less discomfort. LOL Guess this old body can become flexible.

1:15pm - FINALLY got to the gym at my normal time, so there was NO rushing whatsoever. YEAHHHHH!!! Set the TM to 5.6, ran for 1 mile, then upped it to 5.8, and ran the next 5 miles at that. Legs are really feeling strong and I am way excited about my heartrate.

My avg HR was 131 cardiac drift: 144

M1 10:39 127 Cardiac Drift: 118
M2 10:12 134 Cardiac Drift: 129
M3 10:14 137 Cardiac Drift: 132
M4 10:13 143 Cardiac Drift: 134
M5 10:13 145 Cardiac Drift: 136
M6 10:13 146 Cardiac Drift: 138

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

M1 - 10:40 119bpm
M2 - 10:32 123bpm
M3 - 10:31 126pm
M4 - 10:32 131bpm
M5 - 10:32 131bpm
M6 - 10:32 136bpm

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
