Second guessing this 30k scheme. Alternating between 10 mile and 6 mile days and the 10 mile days aren't hard... (I'm doing 10 mph on flats and 12 on steep hills ) but I'm feeling a little taxed from the upped running miles. Of course, I'm still hiking for work, climbing and boxing on top of running... And I started my period yesterday... And then there's the fact that I'm only getting 6 hours of sleep... So really... It could be anything.0

@ Wildflower.......nutrition: hubby is trying to feed me stuff that i don't need in my diet. he's thinking I'm becoming too skinny. haha, i am not skinny at all
My husband does the same thing and I'm definitely not skinny. I'm not sure I get it but sometimes I think he buys cinnamon rolls or whatever for me because that's really what he wants.....LOL
Yesterday I took the dog out for a fast 40 min walk.
Today: 60 min circuit training including 3 sets each of 12 pushups, 20 physio ball wall squats, 20 physio ball crunches w/25 lb plate, 15 physio ball pikes and bridges, 10 renegade rows w/20 lbs, 10 good mornings w/20/20 lbs, 15 decline situps w/10 lb plate, 2 min elevated leg plank, 15 hanging leg lifts and 3 min stairmaster. 35 min weight lifting including 2X5 bench press w/65 lbs and 3X5 bench w/85 lbs, 3X10 shrugs w/95 lbs, 3X10 upright rows w/45 lbs, 3X 20 TRX single leg squats, 3X 16 side lunges w/17.5/17.5 lbs, 3X 20 box stepups and 3X 10 inner thigh w/110lbs. 10 min bike resistance 11/13.5 mph.
I've been burning more calories lately between the swimming and the longer circuit training sessions so I'm going to try to up my calories a bit......closer to 1800 I think.
Hope you're all having a great week!!!!0 -

Upping miles, less sleep, and a period are definitely not a good combo, lol!0 -

Happy Sunday!!
Cardio: Ran that Half-marathon like a boss (well, for me). New PR of 2:24:20. Smashed previous PR by 6 minutes, and was 14 minutes faster compared to last year on this course. Weather was perfect, and I was able to hit all my pace goals. That bridge is always tough, but I was able to fly on the down parts to more than make up for the slowdown heading up. What an awesome race. I love the Texas Bridge Series races. Going to do the series again next year!
Food: enjoyed some extra food today!0 -

Happy Hump Day everyone!!!!
Got the dog out for a 3 mile hike yesterday and today was a gym day. I'm still not doing Strong Lifts but may be able to get back to it next week.........muscle's feeling pretty good and I've been adding some goblet squats and cable dead lifts so I think I'll be able to start out light with the bar soon.
Today: 45 min circuit training including 3 sets each of 20 uneven pushups, 20 squats w/20 lbs, 10 good mornings w/20/20 lbs, 60 sec each side planks, 15 physio ball pikes, 15 each decline situps (with 10lbs) and leg lifts, 10 lat arm raise w/12/12 lbs, 3 min stairmaster. 45 min strength training including 2X5 bench press w/65 lbs and 3X5 w/85 lbs, 3X8 single arm row from bench w/40 lbs, 3X8 overhead tricep extension w/17.5/17/5 lbs, 3X 10 seated bicep curl w/15/15 lbs, 2X10 cable chest press w/23/23, 2X10 cable deltoid fly w/10/10, 2X10 cable dead lift w/40/40, 2X 12 alt hand KB swing w/30 lbs, 3X10 inner thigh w/100. 10 min bike resistance 11/14 mph.
Food has been good the last few days............no issues staying on track. I could maybe get my protein up a bit but otherwise macros look good!0 -
Been running a lot and boxing and climbing a little. Mostly twice a day 5 miles runs. Two 5 mile runs, climbed, and did some fight training including judo throwing and boxing striking yesterday. Today I did my first 10 miles run and I surprised myself with a 9:30 pace... And the fact that it was easy.
One maybe slight problem... My pee was brown this morning... Could be from whatever additive was in all the diet cranberry juice I've been drinking the past two days. Something to keep an eye on. I've also had extreme lower abdominal pains since my kayaking trip. Some kind of poisoning from the fish... Or the fruity cocktails?0 -
