Hey friends!
So, I’m a little out of schedule with my half marathon posting updates, but instead of just not sharing at all this week I thought I would share weeks 5 and 6 together instead of a Five Things Friday post š
Training has been going well, but this past week I didn’t run (other than my long run) very much. Ā I plan on doing some running this weekend, but honestly studying for and taking my finals has kind of thrown everything out of whack. Ā That being said, getting active in some way shape or form has really helped me keep my stress levels low (thank goodness!). Ā I can’t believe it, but I only have 3 more weeks to go and then the half marathon is here!! WOO!
WEEK 5 RECAP
When I set out for this run, it was already 60 degrees and I’ll be honestā¦it was HOT by the end. Ā The heat was something that my body is SO not used to right now, so this run felt like it took forever and I felt really heavy in my legs. Ā That being said, we did it (Bernie did great!) and I was happy to have the run behind me.
Although I wasn’t that thrilled with my performance or how I felt during the run, it was an absolutely gorgeous day š
The weather was SO nice again (as you can see by the sun, my shorts and my tank top) and I knew that a big snow storm was coming so I really couldn’t pass up running outside again! Ā This run felt SO much better than the previous 9 miler.
WEEK 6 RECAP
That was early yesterdayĀ morning! Ā We set out for 10 miles as soon as the sun rose. Ā The weather was around 40 degrees and really felt pretty perfect for the run. Ā My legs felt light and loose and overall it was a really good run!! Bernie is now napping on the couchā¦we shall see how long he stays tired š Reaching the double digit mark in training ALWAYS feels like a major accomplishment (at least to me!) so I’m happy that we have reached the hurdle and passed it with ease. Ā On to the next challengeā¦12 miles (in 2 weeks!).
So far, that’s all I have for week 6 of training. Ā I plan on going to yoga later this afternoon, hiking a little on Saturday and running a little bit on Sunday with Brian and Bernie, but nothing too crazy.
Hope your workouts have been great this week!!

Sounds like a good workout mix! I need to change mine up a little more I think. Hope you have a great weekend š
