Review of Week#4 Training Schedule -(March 10 - March 16):
Monday: AM: 5miles, core strengthening routine, PM: 60min YOGA
Tuesday: AM: 7miles
Wednesday: Hamstring hurts like hell - OFF
Thursday: Hamstring still in pain - OFF
Friday: Traveling... hmm? off? Yes, OFF AGAIN! ugh!
Saturday: Savannah - 6 miles, 4 X 20 sec striders - still in pain!
Sunday: Savannah - 5mile run
Totals: 23miles (ugh!) + 60min YOGA
Thoughts: Well, as far as week #4 training goes, there's not much to talk about. My hamstring is sh*t! I'm not sure if it was the kickboxing or high repetition yoga that threw things completely out of whack, but something made things take a turn for the worse. I've been dealing with pain in my left hamstring for years but this was on a whole new level. So, I'm hitting the pool today and tomorrow for a few kick a*s workouts! I need to keep up my fitness level this week, and getting in a few good interval pool runs will help me out a bit in that department (while also allowing me to not put added strain on my hamstring.)
Additional thoughts: Week #4 brought it's fair share of surprises. First my hamstring went on the fritz, then I witnessed the Saint Patrick's Day festival madness in Savannah Georgia. Crazzzzy!! I also was in downtown Savannah during the blackout caused by tornadoes in the area. Walking through the city in the pitch-dark was a bit freaky!
But the ultimate surprise was when my boyfriend proposed to me in Forsyth Park after we finished up our run on Sunday evening. It was a beautifully warm & sunny day in Savannah.... and finding a fiance and ring of sparkling diamonds at the end of my run was so much better than any pot of gold!! So despite the training downer this week, the luck of the Irish was very much still alive! Erin Go Bragh!! :)
Training Plan: Week#5 -(March 17 - March 23):
Monday: OFF

Wednesday: Pool Workout- TBD
Thursday: AM: Pool Workout - TBD, PM: YOGA?
Friday: Traveling... Yes, AGAIN! Try to get in 5miles in the AM
Saturday: 6 miles, 4 X 20 sec striders
Sunday: 7 miles run - depending on hamstring
Totals: mileage.. we'll see! + 60min YOGA

OMG. Let me be the first to offer cyber-gradulations. And to think, that whole trip started on a snowy night in the Park. Single tear.
Thanks Paul! Yes, if it wasn't for you, none of this would have went down how it did! Thanks! :)
ps: is the Nike+ water proof? jk! But I wish it was. I could take if for a few laps around the pool. I'm not the best team captain lately.. with all this traveling and the hamstring debacle.
Wow, congratulations! Such exciting news :)
The chip actually is - the iPod though is not.
Your slack captaining it going to be the reason Team Claude takes this round, so keep it up!
oh wow... big news! congrats on the engagement! i'm so excited for you! if you have questions or need suggestions or anything along the way, let me know. i just went through the whole wedding planning thing last year.
Thanks! I might take you up on the offer. I'm sure I'll freak out at some point... esp since my mom is already crazed!
I'm excited though. :)
Take care of that hamstring.
How was biking for it???
I will say...I injured myself in college doing kickboxing. My coach thought it would be great for 40 uncoordinated swimmers to take cardio kickboxing during offseason. Lets just say people used to line up in the windows to watch us. I did something to my knee in one of those classes. A little too "Fierce".
