Practicing hydrating
Monday: Went to a AOA (active older adults) water fitness class at the gym. I'm hoping to be a water fitness instructor soon so I'm trying to hit the classes hard. After class I had time for 3.5 miles on the treadmill at the gym. Later in the afternoon while Gretchen was napping I jumped on the basement treadmill for another 3.5 miles.
Tuesday: Water fitness class then 3 miles on the treadmill.
Wednesday: Boot camp class and later a water fitness class.
Thursday: Did 4X 800's for 4 miles total then Water fitness, Deep water.
Friday: Was supposed to be 6 miles at race pace but I was worn out. I did .5 warm up, 1.5 at race pace then dropped pace by 30 seconds for 2 miles, picked it back up to race pace for a mile then jumped off the treadmill and went to Yo Pi class. 5 miles total.
Saturday: Went to the gym and ran 10 miles on the treadmill. Did a 1 mile warm up and .5 cool down. Ran the rest at a 8:41 pace. I little boring but felt easy.
Sunday: Warm weather today so at about 1:00 when it was just over 50˚ out Gretchen and I went to the trail. We took a suggestion and ran the opposite way from the direction we always take, to see how it worked out with the stroller. The concrete path lasted .8 of a mile before it turned back to a crushed gravel trail but it was really packed and not that much actual gravel so it worked well. We went out 2 miles and was excited to see that the trail went right behind a Quick Trip. We went over and took advantage of some free air for the stroller tires. It made the 2 miles back way easier.
Weekly total: 33 miles
I love that Gretchen wore her boots for the run.
ReplyDeleteDoes water aerobics work different muscles? Like has it made you sore?
ReplyDeleteI would say while water aerobics works all your muscles it dosn't make me sore. Water aerobics is more for people of a different activity level than me though I'm sure it is still a good addition to my routine.
