So, as you might have guessed from the dearth of posts, I sort of fell off the yoga-every-day bandwagon back in June. (Nothing screws up a fitness plan like a sick kid because, well, priorities.)
And then I started debating purpose versus progress on my challenge-a-month plan.
In July I set no goals. I just ran.
And my weekly mileage started creeping up.
Weekend long runs started getting longer.
Huh.
No goals, but I was getting more miles at a faster pace?
10 days ago I ran 7.5 miles at a 9 minute pace, and still felt fresh the next day.
Last week I ran my highest weekly mileage since before I got pregnant more than 2.5 years ago.
I'm also still trying to keep the spirit of the challenge alive, but more like my old training schedule (run 3 days/week, cross-train 2 days, yoga and strength training at least 1 day each week).
In August I've been doing a full-body strength circuit every Monday, and running at least 3 days a week. It might not seem very challenge-like, but it's working for me, so I'ma gonna stick with it.
