Week in Review/What's Next?

Proud to be sportin' my 'Running for Ro' shirt!

Now that my two 10k's are completed, I was finally able to get back to a "decent" workout week.  Here is the breakdown of what I did:

March 17- 4 miles/27:31(am), 3 miles/19:50 (pm)

March 18- 30 minutes elliptical (am), 5 miles/34:20 (1 mile warm-up, 3x1 mile @6: 10pace, 1 mile cool-down)

March 19- 30 minutes elliptical, 3 miles/20:18

March 20- 30 minutes elliptical

March 21- 30 minutes elliptical, 6 miles/48:45

March 22- OFF

March 23- 12.5 miles/1:43:17

Positives: I completed my goals for the week: One speed work session, one long run, 6 runs total for the week, and at least 3 cross sessions.  I was also able to do my long run this week WITH Philip! I don't think we've run together for the last couple years since we've had children.  He warned me that the route he had mapped out for us was hilly, and boy was it ever! Philip definitely kicked my butt on this run...several times, I had to ask him to slow down.

Negatives: I have been doing a great job the last few weeks of avoiding my spinning bike.  That thing is SO hard...plus, I am reading the 'Divergent' series right now and it's so much easier to read on the elliptical than the bike.
I also felt a little dizzy during my long run...which I think was due to the fact that I had not drank enough water before my long run.  Since we ran outside (not on the treadmill!), I didn't have water instantly at my disposal.  You'd think I'd know better...

What's next?
Philip and I are both running the State Farm 10-miler this weekend.  We have run this race for the past several years and it's a great fitness tester for the half-marathon.  Other than that, it looks like April will be a good training month.  As of now, we are not registered for any events.  May is going to be pretty big with the Lincoln Half AND another trip to Iowa to defend our Market to Market title from last year...couldn't be more excited!

Happy Running! :)
