It’s tapering time! I’m so excited to be done with my longest runs. The race is less than two weeks away, and my longest distance will be 6 miles. It felt amazing to finish my 12-miler on Sunday!
Monday: Rest day.
The Orangetheory workout started with 2.34 miles on the treadmill. We rowed 450 meters, 300 meters, 150 meters and 800 meters as well.
Floor workout:
- Alligators with TRX straps
- Speed skaters
- Hip raises with heels in TRX straps
- Squats onto the bench with weights
- Double-tap crunches
Week’s mileage: 19.69
Yoga minutes: 50
Reflections:
I’m struggling with what my goal pace should be for the race. Should I try to set a PR or be happy with running faster than I did at my last race? I’m really not sure. I know that if I don’t run a faster pace I would be disappointed after all the hard work I’ve done for the last three months.
Perfect weather on Sunday was such a gift! It renewed my motivation and made me grateful to live here in Chicago.
