Workouts this week:
Tuesday – 5 x 1000 (400 RI)
Done. Next week’s speed workouts are 6 x 400s. Yay, I like those!!
Thursday – Yoga
I went to my first bikram yoga class on Thursday. It was not easy but I found it to be relaxing. I made a few rookie mistakes (I forgot to take my mat so I had to rent one, need longer towel to cover mat, extra towel to wipe off sweat from face, and drink a gallon a water prior to class) and don’t want to make them again for my next class. The plan is to go again on Thursday and Friday this week.
Saturday– Half Marathon
I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll Portland Half Marathon today. It was a gorgeous day (no rain) and not hot at all. The course was blah but not horrible. I am even pleased with my finish time of 2:23:34!
Upcoming races: Boston’s Run to Remember Half Marathon on May 26 and Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon on June 2.
