Ok so today I posted a slight gain for the week which isn't great but being that I missed a few workouts and didn't eat particularly well, it was expected. I was really hoping to break even, but things could be worse. As for working out, I said I missed Thursday due to some personal issues and then had a baseball game to go to Friday and stayed out with friends that night so not much opportunity for workout there. Sunday was a planned long run but since it was suppose to storm, I decided to go on Saturday. A couple of my friends who are runners wanted to come with me even though its not quite their pace. I was planning on doing doing 5 miles as that is the scheduled distance and then I thought I should do 5.5 just to push it a little. Well I ended up doing 6 because the run was going so well and not only that, I did it in 57:43 which is way faster than I've been running when it comes to the longer distances. At the 5 mile mark I was a full 3 minutes faster than last week. I was very pumped about that and even my runner friends were saying how impressed they were because one hadn't seen me run yet and thought I was going to be way slower. I was going to do the cross training on Sunday but with the Masters on and thinking I should take a day of rest as it says to always do in the training plan after a long run, I didn't workout. Normally Mondays are a rest day but today I'll be working out so in the end I should only miss 1 workout.
I'm very excited about how far my distances are getting and also about gaining some unexpected speed. I've also gained some new free time due to a relationship ending and so I plan to put that added time towards working out and I'm thinking about starting the 100 pushup plan and seeing where that goes.
