Timed Mile
It was timed mile night at track and it felt like 95 degrees. I’m trying to be happy with 8:48 even though it is slower than what I ran in December. It was really tough and I felt pukey afterwards. I tried hard to hold back a bit on the first two laps so I could run negative but I didn’t quite succeed and got passed by someone in the last little bit. I’ll keep working on it.
Timed mile PR.
My last timed mile was 8:22 and tonight I did 7:56. Under 8 minutes. heck yeaaah.
Timed Mile
Today I ran a timed mile, just to see what my time would be. Back in middle school (ages ago) I would pretty consistently run a mile between 8 and 9 minutes. When I checked my time today I was at 9:11 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised. A little encouraging bump to keep my wanting to try and improve my running. There's a color run in exactly one month I'd like to do, and be able to easily run the whole 5k without pulling or walking (I have done BOTH during races before). Just wanted to share that. I'd love to get a mile time under 7 so I'll try and work on that. It's the little victories
Speed workout this morning. Timed my mile for the first time in a long time and I was so happy!! Going to see my progress after this 11 week training program.
September 23
Squash
As always, lunges are a must. Yep.
Played four matches: Went 0-5 against coach (I held up pretty well in the first and last serve!), 7-8 against the best girl in class (We were both doing really well. If we had more time, I would have loved to see who would have won. We were so close and time was called when we were 7-7 and we had to play one last one to figure out who went forwards.), 11-8 (I did better than the score says - I just really need to learn how to serve better), and 11-6 (again, that serve...).
FIRST DAY OF FALL BALL LACROSSE!
Running
Timed mile on the trail course! 7:19!
7 seconds slower than my mile during the last week in January (sad) but this course isn't completely smooth and is packed down dirt, which makes it harder, and there are a few small hills. There's also a downhill at the end, though... In January we ran eight laps on the indoor track so I take this as a win, even if I am a bit disappointed because I should be faster than I was what day in January (especially since I did that with so few runs beforehand)!
(Also, at the end I took a second or two to kick a soccer ball off of the trail. That was more for the fun of it but hey, whatever.)
Field Practice
I'd like to say that we were constantly in motion but we weren't. There was a lot of motion but there was also a lot of standing around, teaching about the stretches, shooting on goal, etc.
We did run to and from the mile (plus the mile itself) and we played 4 v 4 a bit.
I need to work on my D.
(I only ran into the goalie once and slipped twice!)
Strength Training
20 squats just bar bell (45lbs)
20 squats +25lbs (95lbs)
10 squats +35lbs (115lbs)
8 squats +40lbs (125lbs)
(Squatted more than my body weight!)
Circuits (3 rounds)
~15 walking lunges each leg with dumbbells (17.5lbs, 15lbs, 12lbs)
10 backwards lunges each leg with dumbbells (17.5lbs, 15lbs, 12lbs)
Sprint
Timed Mile
I ran my timed mile (1.61km) today, and I finished in 9:41. This is not terrible, though the fact that I had to stop to walk twice in ten minutes is a little embarrassing. What's even more embarrassing is that after running one mile, I was exhausted and didn't do any other working out (admittedly I did cycle to the gym and home, so probably 5-6km total). But that's what it's all about: I don't want to be this unfit anymore. I want to be exhausted after an hour at the gym, not ten minutes! I don't care what my time per mile is at the end of this, as long as it's a little faster than 9:41 and I can actually do something else after running a mile.
Did my 1st timed mile,i've been running for a while,i wish i would have done this was sooner,but i did 1 mile in 10 mins 47 seconds. Will retime myself in a month or something to see the time go down :)
Timed mile today. It wasn't my best time.. but I came in first out of the whole team. That counts for something, right?
