Week 9,10, & 11 (2/27-3/12)

Wow! I’ve been so caught up in work, training, & family that I haven’t had much extra time over the last several weeks to update my blog. Sorry for all those who are following!!! I’ll do a much better job from here on out. Here’s an annotated version of what I’ve been up to the last three weeks.

Week 9:
One new feature I’ve added to my routine is racquetball on Thursday nights. I’m doing this more for fun than anything else but I walk out of the court after an hour and I’m dripping with sweat. The cool thing about racquetball at Harbor is that it’s free with your membership. Unless there is a league going on it’s first come, first serve.


Week 10:
I’m starting to get into a grove with my fitness. I really enjoy the routine that I’ve established. The two areas I’m still continuing to lack on is my stretching and flexibility. I’m continuing to enjoy the workouts with Mike. He’s really starting to push me on my conditioning days. His goal is to have me boxing 12 three-minute rounds by the time I’m finished.

Week 11:

I was pretty nervous starting out the week because Sunday I had my longest run yet, 14 miles! Well, the run went awesome. I completed two 7-mile loops and finished strong on the second, faster than my first.

This week was a low-key week in regards to training because I’ll be preparing for the Shamrock Shuffle of Sunday. I was only able to get one personal training workout in with Mike this week due to some scheduling conflicts. The workout focused on strength training. I did several short runs throughout the week and my normal weekly tennis and racquetball match’s. I’ll give an update concerning my race results next week.
