Hey there! So I am behind in my blogging... I was supposed to blog Wednesday, but you know, my 8 month old decided to come down with her first cold and let's just say it ain't pretty. Poor little thing, her nose is all stuffed and she's coughing and unable to sleep. Luckily, I think we are though the worst of it.
Needless to say, this week hasn't been the best for me in terms of working out or nutrition. My husband also recently had the flu, so it's been chaos around here. So I didn't hit the gym until Thursday this week, but I was able to eek out 4.5 miles for my 10k training plan I actually really enjoyed this run, despite not having run in a whole week (yikes!). I did a 4x5 minutes fast interval workout that went like this:
Warm up 1 mile, slow
5 minutes fast pace
2 minutes recovery pace
Repeat 5min/2min split 4 times
Cool down 1 mile slow
I was able to complete the interval training in 47 minutes (10:37 pace) , which I was pretty happy with. Pre-baby I could easily run at a 10 min/mile or faster, and I can see myself slowly getting closer to those pace times. It's just going to take a little more practice :)
Today I was able to get to my 530 am spin class, although I wasn't able to show up until 6 (due to sick little bebe), I still got an hour spin in, and that's a great start to a weekend!
My plan for this next week is to make it to the gym at least 5 times, and to really concentrate on my nutrition & food intake. I find when I log my meals and make a conscious effort to eat well, that I am more satisfied and sated.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
