Too tired and busy to post

This week our trainer was on vacation, but no fear, she gave us daily homework to do. I am proud to say that I did all of the homework!! YEAH!! On Monday, I met with my team to do supersets. We then had to go and run 1 1/2 miles. We complained through most of it, but we got the job done.

                                   My awesome team (Jess, Laura, and myself) working hard!!

On Tuesday, I was suppose to do 3 miles. We could walk or run or both. I went to our local rail trail (a quiet trail for walking, running, or biking only). I was able to run 1 mile, walked a 1/2 mile and ran the rest. I felt really good!

On Wednesday I met my amazing team again and we had to do lunges, squats, frog hops, etc. After that we had to do various sprinting sets. This is where I fell apart. I felt like I was going to blow my knee, so I decided to just jog them. The rest of my team didn't feel great either so we decided to just go for a short jog. My knees were killing me the rest of the day.

My teammate had told me about her running shoes and I thought I would try them. I went to Dick's since they were on sale and I had a coupon. I won't use them until Friday, which is my next running day.

Thursday I was able to rest my knees and do the same supersets from Monday. The only difference was that we had to do more of them and no running. I felt pretty good.

Friday I went back to the rail trail and I was to jog 1/4 mile, stretch, run a mile for a time, stretch, and jog another 1/4. I wore my new shoes and was able to do my fastest time yet. I did a 10:44, which for me is really good. My knees were bothering me a little bit, but not too bad. I came home and got on the roller, said a few prayers while doing it, and did some more stretching. I feel pretty good right now.

Tomorrow is a rest day, however I may go for a run and make Sunday my rest day. I will see how I feel in the morning.
