Week of July 16, 2012 -

Run Miles = 23 (marathon training week 2)
Walk Miles = 3.5
Other = 2 days strength training
1 hour barre class
1.5 hour rugby practice
2 hour hike in Asheville, NC
2 hour bike ride
* Got lots of workouts in. Still pretty frustrated because I'm not feeling 100% healthy so everything is really slow. Way behind where I had wanted to be at this time. However, I am working very hard to try to stay positive. I have 14 more weeks - I can do this.

Week of July 9, 2012 -

Run Miles = 13.5

Walk Miles = 4.5
Other = 1 hour barre class
* Not the way I wanted to start of my marathon training. I was so pumped to have this week off and really kill it. Too bad I got unlucky and did something horrid to my back and had to take 3 full days off and take it easy the rest. I'm trying to look on the bright side though this is only the first week so at least I got it out of the way now.

Week of July 2, 2012 -

Run Miles = 10
Walk Miles = 8
Other = 1 hour piloxing class
* Runner's World Summer Run Streak final days! - Woohoo, I did it. I ran all 38 days from Memorial Day until the 4th of July. This week my mileage was super short and my eating stunk. I was on vacation and it was 100+ every day. I am not feeling like I gave it my best effort. Obviously vacationing is an area I will need to work on carrying my healthy living goals over to.

Week of June 25, 2012 -

Run Miles = 15
Walk Miles = 0
Other = full day rugby tourney, hour spin class
* Runner's World Summer Run Streak week 5 - This week proved a lot to me. I was super busy, not feeling the best, and yet still lost a pound. It showed me it is okay to step it back and relax a bit as long as you really focus on the eating healthy (which I need to be doing more of anyway). Cannot believe I've been running for 5 straight weeks. Wow!

Week of June 18, 2012 -

Run Miles = 32
Walk Miles = 1
Other = NA
* Runner's World Summer Run Streak week 4 - check; over 30 miles again. I was impressed I was able to crank it out with 3 super busy days where I only squeezed in a mile. However, I need to work on getting some other stuff in. Rugby, strength training, etc.

Week of June 11, 2012 -

Run Miles = 24.5
Walk Miles = 0
Other = NA
* Runner's World Summer Run Streak week 3 down. Ugly mileage compare to last week since I was super busy and felt crummy M-W. Time to get back at it this week.

Week of June 4, 2012 -

Run Miles = 32.5

Walk Miles = 8
Other = hour and a half rugby practice, one day weight/resistance training
* Survived week 2 of the Runner's World Summer Run Streak. Better than last week. Still sore, but working my way through it.

Week of May 28, 2012 -

Run Miles = 25

Walk Miles = 13
Other = hour and a half rugby practice
* Survived my first week of the Runner's World Summer Run Streak. Not as good as I would have like due to feeling like death Thurs.- Sat., but better than last week and I am excited for next week.

Week of May 21, 2012 -

Run Miles = 14
Walk Miles = 9
Other = hour and a half rugby practice, rugby tourney, hour weight lifting
*Yikes, scary week. Just couldn't get it together. However, excited that the Runner's World Summer Run Streak starts tomorrow.

Week of May 14, 2012 -

Run Miles = 22.5
Walk Miles = 13
Other = hour and a half rugby practice, hour weight lifting
*More rest days than I wanted this week, but obviously I needed them as it helped my speed a bit.

Week of May 7, 2012 -

Run Miles = 31
Walk Miles = 8
Other = hour and a half rugby practice
*Even with a couple rain delays I managed my first 30 mile week in months. They were very slow miles, about 1.5-2 minutes worse than usual, but I decided I'll try to build my distance up first and then work on picking up speed.

Week of April 30, 2012 -

Run Miles = 29
Walk Miles = 9
Other = 4.5 mile bike ride

*First 10K, rough. However, felt great the next day and did my first 9 miler. Plus my miles are slowly becoming more running and less walking. My walking is now mostly cool down and a Monday dog walk with mom.
