Really, Amy?

I've got 37 miles left to run in the month of June to make my goal of 80 miles.

Yay! I'm very excited to accomplish this goal and I'm very excited about the progress I'm making with my running. Slowly but surely I am becoming a better runner. Running is one of the most rewarding activities I have experienced. The way I feel after a great run is akin to the way I feel after reading a great book + endorphins. It's the BEST!

I can meditate while getting my sweat on. I can rock out to some of my favorite tunes while getting my sweat on. I can think about my life, the universe, and everything or nothing. It's just the best and I'm so grateful that I put my gym shoes on 3 and a half years ago and started my running journey. I sincerely hope that I can lace up my shoes and go for a looooooooooooong time. And I think it would be so cool if one of my children loves to run, too. But the great thing about running is I don't need any one but me to get going and so if none of my kids likes to running, I still can!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway! Here's my plan for the 3rd week of June.

Tuesday- Cycling and strength training Well, no time to get to gym this morning so, did a one mile warm-up, then Strength, then 1 mile cool-down

Wednesday- 2 mile warm-up, 2 miles at 5k pace, 2 miles cool-down. Almost but I did 3 miles tempo and just 1 mile for my cool-down.

Thursday- Cycling and strength. Neither. Walked on the treadmill for an hour. Incline ranging from 4.0-7.0 and speed from 3.5-4.5 MPH.

Friday- Speed work: 1 mile warm-up, 4X800's, 1 mile cool-down

Saturday- off

Sunday- 4 easy miles

Monday- Long run of indeterminate length
