Workout Update

Last week was a good week even thou I have been running on a bum ankle that I rolled when I was running was Sunday on some ice. I took off Monday and Tuesday to rest my ankle, basically I iced and elevated it and I am glad it I did it. Wednesday I ran 3 miles @ 33:23, Thursday 3 miles @ 33:07, Friday 3 miles @ 33:54 and Sunday 7 miles @ 1:23:10 it was hard to run any faster because of the weather and the ankle was a little sore. That brings the week total to 16.00 miles.


This week starts week 13 of the 30 week program of my marathon training. I can’t believe that in 8 weeks I’ll be running my first half marathon. I know that I can do it but hopefully it will be under 2:30. That would put me at an 11:30 pace or faster.

Today I signed up at Fitworks, it was the free 6 week membership for signing up for the Cleveland marathon. So starting next week I’ll be taking a spinning class Monday morning and hopefully a yoga class later that night. Not sure about the yoga because the class starts at 5:30 and I work until 6:00 maybe later on in the week I can catch the class later in the week.

Also I am going to try to post my running training plan for you to check out I hope you can make it out.
