So I found that having a plan, even though I made some major changes, helped me push it this week.
This upcoming week (4/19-4/25) could prove a challenge but I'm going to try.
Monday - OBGYN appointment at 9 AM to check on my IUD, if all goes well this means No Holds Barred love making again! Woot. ALso, Aria's 1st Birthday! Today is my Xtraining day and since it also coincides with Zoot's birthday and, thus, the age at which she can ride in the bike seat, I am going to bike for my cross-training!
My plan is to take a little test ride around the block and then drive to a really great bike path a few miles from our house. I sort of feel like an ass for driving somewhere to bike, but she's my baby and I'm too scared to bike on the open road with her! So we are going to aim for 45 minutes biking.
Work-out: 45 minutes X training and Bikini Body Work-out.
Tuesday - Brian's 30th Birthday! Off. I have school and a HUGE test, paper and two labs in Microbio on Thursday so I am going to try to study and finish the paper today. I also want to try to make something special for Brian's B-day and I don't want to worry about anything.
Work-out: None
Wednesday - Gotta get some massive studying in today. But I want to get 4 miles in, too. I will give myself an hour to work-out and the rest of the day will be devoted to school and keeping child alive.
Work-out: Speed work, 6X800's + 1 mile warm-up
Thursday - Test day! After test, I would like 4 miles, I think. A tempo run. 1 warm-up mile, probably around a 5.5 MPH, 2 miles at just under aerobic threshold (for me about a 6.0-6.2 MPH), then 1 mile light jog.
Work-out: 4 miles, 2 miles tempo.
Friday - Aria has a doctor's appointment at 1:45 but that is all I have to do that day. I want to do some strength training and a light 5k, before tomorrow's long run.
Work-out: Bikini Body Work-out and 3.1 miles.
Saturday - Long run day. Gotta get outside by 9 AM. FOR REAL. I think we Brian's parents are driving down to T-town from Phoenix today to take us out for Brian's birthday. They are also bringing Autumn down to visit so we don't have to drive to Phoenix this weekend. Yee Haw! I will be fantasizing about what I'm going to eat for lunch on my run. :-P
Work-out: Ideally, 10 miles.
Sunday - Glorious day off with My Brian! He worked every day last week! Including, a 16 hour day on Monday.
Okay, 21 ambitious miles but I did 28 miles last week!
