Miles to Health

Saturday, June 20, 2009



Today was a very busy day, getting my baby (oldest child) ready for his summer program at OSU, considering the fact that he has only been away from home no longer than 1 week this is going to be hard for both of us. In a typical teenage fashion, he gave me a list of what he needs today and so we spent all day running around to pickup just about everything, at least now we are all ready for the fall.

For father's day, I signed my husband up for a 5k race, Run and Crawl in Ohio City, he has been running 3 days a week for the last 2 months, so it was about time for him to challenge himself. He did great, finish in about 27mins and is probably done with racing for now, was hoping this may inspire him to start running more often but no such luck.

I have made the decision not to do any fall marathon just don't think my body is ready for it yet, the 2 weeks off has been great but it felt really wired not running. So for the fall I will be doing another fall Half Marathon using the same program I used before Matt Fitzgerald Brain Training for Runner still going to stick with level 1, it was the perfect mileage for my injured body without aggravating anything.

The fall HM I picked for now is the Spirit of Pittsburgh on November 1 and I will do shorter races as the program calls for or as I want. Right now I know am running the shortest leg of the Akron Marathon relay and also the Race for the cure 5K. For strength training, am going to stick with Chalean Extreme since they are somewhat short (35mins) and if I start getting frustrated I'll go back to Barry since that really complement my running quite nicely and I love the 12 mins leg routine so I will probably add them on.

Today's workout
Chalean Burn it off + Recharge (do not care for it so will go back to yogamazing.com)

Yesterday's workout was Burn 1 before an incredible long day at work
