Half Marathon Training Week 8

I had a great week of workouts.

It all started with Monday. I went to Zumba. My favorite Zumba teacher is only there on Monday nights. So that is the only night I go. Her workouts tend to be of a cardio workout that a normal Zumba teacher. I love it. I have been told that she does not teach how “regular Zumba” is. What ever that means. I have learned that she is gone to be gone for a couple of months because she is also a student. Sad Panda :[

So on Tuesday I was supposed to have the day off from work that did not happen. So I did not make it to BodyPump. But I got my three miles in and then went to a Yoga class. 

Wednesday. I went to BodyFlow. I really love these classes.

Thursday. I ran 5 miles. My average pace was 9:38. It was a pretty good run. It was one of those runs where I wanted to keep going but I just did not have the time.

Friday: The plan was BodyPump. I got there on time but they started early and the class was packed so I decided to pass. I decided to run 4.1 miles and to a strength workout at home instead. The four miles were great.  I was not expecting much because I ran the day before and I tend not to do that. Maybe the key is no expectations. My splits were good too! 

Mile 1: 9:36

Mile 2: 9:41

Mile 3: 9:33

Mile 4: 9:25

Mile 5: 8:26

Saturday: It was another BodyFlow day:] I also rode the bicycle at the gym. I believe it said 9.2 miles in 30 minutes. It was hard.

Sunday. Rest Day

The week did not look like my plan. But it was a really good workout week.

Weeks Workout

I had a great weekend. It was nice to be active during a “date” instead of just sitting around and eating. Let me just saying walking around the Mall of America is tiring.

I thought I would get back to listing my workouts for the weeks. Just to be accountable. I was not able to get all my workouts in last week. So I think I need something to make me accountable. Anywho.

Monday: Biggest Loser Yoga

Tuesday: Yoga

Wednesday: 3 miles

Thursday: 3 miles

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: 10k race @ the Twin Cities Marathon:] I really want to get 10 miles in preparation for my half. So I am thinking about doing 2 miles before and 2 miles after to equal 10.2. 

Friday: Yoga.

There it is my plan for the week. I full plan on accomplishing all of it. Only 4 more weeks until the half. Eeek.
