Now, on to this weekend and goals. Nothing too exciting this weekend, mainly getting errands done before I leave New York for a month and sleeping too much. I did see Silver Linings Playbook, which was wonderful. It's such a sweet and uplifting film. I really recommend it if you're looking for an awards contender that won't depress you. It was exactly the movie to see after the dark events of last Friday.
I wish that I had a better goal report for my 100th post! But I ran a great 5K today (recap to come, of course) so I couldn't be more pleased with my running progress. I'm not hardcore training for my New Year's Eve half-marathon, and even if I were, I'd trust that one busted week of training won't ruin all the other weeks.
So I'm taking inspiration from this for this week's goals:

Last week's goals:
• 1 spin session
Check!
• 3 runs -- 1 speed session, 1 6-miler, 1 long run
FAIL. The 5K was my speed work and I ran 2 miles on Thursday, but this was my lowest weekly mileage since after my half-marathon. Bringing that way up this week!
• 2 yoga practices
Sadly, another fail. I did some yoga Saturday and Sunday night, but not a full-on practice. Luckily when I'm home my dad teaches yoga so I'll be sure to get in plenty of practice.
• 2 strength sessions
Check plus! A kettlebell class and two Refine Method classes.
Goals for this week
• 1 spin session
• 4 runs -- 1 short, 1 speed work, 1 6-miler, 1 long run
• 2 strength sessions
• 3 yoga classes
What are your goals for this week? Do you try to come back strong from a "weaker" week?
I've been talking a lot to other (experienced) runners lately, and they all keep advising the same thing... I need to increase my mileage. So in terms of goals, I need to sneak in some longer runs on weekends. I'm taking it too easy and only hitting 6 - 8 miles.
ReplyDeleteGood to have a mileage increase buddy! I've been averaging about 15, but last week was kind of pathetic. But I'll take it for the 5K time :)
