My pre-race workouts were exactly as they should've been last week. But that 5k I was supposed to run on Saturday? That turned into a home loan appointment at the bank... I have no regrets about skipping the race.

I was hitting paces in the 6s during my track workouts leading up to this race, and race-day weather was PERFECT.
Unfortunately my timeline for making the big move just got moved up to May instead of July. (Read: I move in 2 months, not 4. Yikes!) So lots of pieces need to come together in the next 8 weeks. That bank appointment couldn't be postponed.
Racing has to take a back seat.
(On top of that, my right foot has been saying "go back to pool running" for a few days... It's about time I listened.)
Last week's plan / actual:
- Monday plan: strength circuit + 60 min bike + stretching
Actual: Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred, level 2 + 60 minutes on stationary bike
- Tuesday: 4 mile run
Actual: 4 mile run - Wednesday: yoga
Actual: 25 minute gentle yoga + 3 mile walk - Thursday: 3 mile run
Actual: 3 mile run - Friday: rest day
Actual: REST - Saturday: RACE DAY!
Actual: A morning appointment with our bank + an afternoon walk (Banking and a walk don't make a very sexy workout combination, but it did feel like an accomplishment to cross a major "To Do" off of the home-buying checklist... Now if only someone will put a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home for sale in DC within walking-distance of my new job...) - Sunday: anything goes
Actual: 5 mile trail run at Fort Pickens
This week's plan:
My new goal for the next two months is to maintain my strength and run for stress relief.
- Monday: strength circuit + 60 minute bike ride
- Tuesday: 3 mile run or swim
- Wednesday: yoga
- Thursday: strength circuit + swim
- Friday: rest day
- Saturday: 5 mile run or hike
- Sunday: anything goes
How are you doing on your 2013 goals?
