Thank you to all who entered! If you didn't win, I would definitely look into buying some compression shorts for your overall running and fitness health.
On to the regularly scheduled program: My Weekly RUNdown
The holiday excitement has hit full force at my house this week. Besides that, I was out of town for a wedding Thursday through Saturday so it messed up my normal running routine. I only made it for 3 runs this week and ended up missing my long run. It's my own fault. I chose sleep and shopping over sweating. I should regret it, but I don't. I plan on hitting things hard this week to make up for it. Plus, for the first time in weeks, my legs actually feel good!
Monday: Hills with Mindy. 5 miles (260 ft. gain) 9:10 pace.
Tuesday AM: Yassos! 4 sets: 3:10, 3:11, 3:18, 3:14. Ran on a real track at the high school and enjoyed every step! So much smoother to run on than the track I've been using. 5 miles total.
Tuesday PM: IT Band strength training- glutes, hips, quads, and calves 1 hour.
Friday: 5 miles on the Tread Mill- 8:12 pace. Alternated between running somewhere between 8.5 and 10 and then recovering on a 7. Running inside is HOT! Sex and the City kept me company though and that was good times. I still would have preferred to run outside.
Last Week's Goal: Strength train twice a week. FAIL. I did do it once, though! I worked out during the Biggest Loser and that helped with my motivation. Plus I actually did something rather than sit on the couch and eat junk food. (Why that usually happens to me during that show I don't know, but it does).
This Week's Goal: Strength train twice a week. I have a feeling this might have to be one of my goals for a few weeks in a row. The good news is that there are going to be 2 episodes of the Biggest Loser this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) so I think my chances of hitting my goal this week are good :)
How was your week? I want to hear about it! Besides race reports, this is my favorite part about blogs- hearing about YOUR workouts.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! I'm so excited! Mostly because it means I get to see you to get my prize. BOO to the YA. ;)
So, guess who accidentally ran 10+ miles on Saturday? Me, that's who. Mindy and I set out for 8 and 2.5 miles plus we were like, WHAT!? My Garmin was dead and so we were guessing. Eeeesh.
I cannot watch biggest loser without stuffing my face. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who does that.
I am SO HAPPY that Kalie won! I entered because I saw how badly she wanted them and I was going to give them to her if I happened to win.
Sounds like you had a fun this week!
So sad I didn't win the giveaway.:(
I had an awesome speedworkout today that gave me a teeny bit of faith that I may be able to run my 5k without dying on Thursday. We shall see.
Awesome worksouts for the week and good luck with your goal....you can do it!! :):)
i'm with you on the goal for more strength training. MUST start incorporating!
yeah! i still think you totally rocked it this week! i struggled some running-wise last week but i know i have been pushing myself really hard so the taper is here just in time :) have a great week sweet friend! miss you!
I would love to try these compression shorts, I might need to ask for them for my birthday... in March.
I have been injured so today was a good day since I did 40 minutes on the stationary bike and then 1 mile on the treadmill alternating between walking and running every .1 miles. Yesterday, I went for a 2 mile walk with my husband and our dog.
Our family loves watching Biggest Loser too.
I have gone more than a week doing absolutely nothing. I don't remember the last time I went that long. It has been glorious but I'm ready to get back at it.
Nice job on the Yassos!
