June 29 - July 5 Training Log

June 29- Very hilly but scenic 5.5 mile run with Beth at the Santa Rosa Plateau. Felt like a lot longer run, all the ups and downs really beat me up but the beautiful scenery is worth it.
June 30- 45 minute bike ride with about 35 of it climbing Indian Truck Trail. It's amazing how quickly you can get back down a hill that took 40 minutes to climb.
July 1- Fast paced 3 mile treadmill run. Blah!
July 2- 1 hour mountain bike ride with lots of hills. Next time, need to do it earlier. Very HOT!
July 3- 5 mile trail run. Hilly and hot but great views!
July 4- REST- Homemade icecream!
July 5- 3 mile treadmill run- very low energy- possibly due to all the junk food eaten on the holiday!

June 22-28 Training Log

June 22- good 5 mile run, felt a little worn out after, but it is getting easier!
June 23- 7 mile run with Maggie. Got tough towards the end, but felt good afterwards. --- Feeling a little sore the morning after!
June 24- 1.5 hour bike ride. I hope my butt gets use to the seat soon, almost unbearable. 3 mile easy paced run on the treadmill.
June 25- Strength training, 3 mile treadmill run.
June 26- Rest day
June 27- nice 8 mile run, now off to the pool!
June 28- Helped someone move. Now that's a workout!!

All in all a good training week. Not as much time on the bike as I would have liked but I did actually work a couple days this week.

June 15-21 Training Log

June 15- 4 mile run at the "Swamp" with the boys and Maggie
June 16- 2 mile easy run during Sammy's practice
June 17- 20 minute morning swim, 75 minute bike ride
June 18- 20 minute morning swim, 90 minute bike ride, 4 mile run during Sammy's practice.
June 19- 3 mile easy run with Candace and Maggie at the "swamp"
June 20 rest
June 21- short, easy 3 mile hike with the family on Ortega highway.

Good week of training. It helped that I did not have any work this week, but let's hope that trend does not continue. Felt good during most days, need to get use to riding the bike again. A little disappointing that I did not get my long run in, but breakfast in bed on Father's day was worth missing it. Thanks Kat and boys!

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted here. I have since signed up to run the Long Beach marathon with my sister on October 11th. I am stoked that she agreed to run it. I have begun training and am finding it easier to get out there with this motivating me. I have a lot of work to do in the next 4 months but I am very excited to be running back into shape, especially with Beth!
