Today was the long run for the week 6.2 miles, 9.98 km in 1:03:53, avg pace of 6:24/km burned 915 cal, I was pretty disappointed with the outcome as I wanted to come in under 1hr but I guess I took it to easy and didn't factor in the amount of wind out there this morning. The wind was blowing so hard across the Ottawa River, I had to force just to stand up straight. Hat and mitts were worn and despite all efforts to stay warm I could hardly fell my hands when I arrived home after the run. With NW winds of up to 33km/h it feels like -3 outside. Not the ideal weather to run in but I guess I would take that over a 30 degree hot summer day! If I'm going to be a marathon runner there is no fair weather training, it has to be done everyday rain or shine, cold or hot, no matter what holiday it happens to be.
As for body toning and weight I've been keeping track of that too. It will be fun to compare the before and after results. So today here's where I stand.
PreTraining End of Week2
Weight 156lbs 154lbs
Neck 13" 12 3/4"
Breasts 38" 37"
Waist 32" 31"
Above Hips 37" 36 1/2"
Hips 39" 39"
Thigh 22" 22"
Calfs 14 1/2" 14"
Ankles 8 1/2" 8 1/2"
Arm 12 3/4" 12 3/4"
Wrist 6 1/4" 6 1/4"
The only real goal I have re body toning is to get Above Hips area to be within 1" of waist and arms to be strong, toned and as thin as possible. I'm guessing all this cardio will play a big roll in helping do that but I still do my push ups and core toning exercises daily.
Well off to enjoy Mother's Day...have a good one.
P.S. Mr. Charlie is still there hanging out in a big way!

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteJust so you know when you factor in a 3o km. wind that means you really run your 9.98 km. in 49 minutes. That is awesome!!! Congrats!!! I assume this day was a tempo run. Don't forget to do an easy day and a hard day all the time. This regime will keep you healthy and uninjured.
Unless you are running in the sun and warm weather put vaseline on your hamstrings. Just in case I forget later, which you know I won't, when you are out doing long distance put some vaseline under your armpits, upper thighs and toes. You will be glad you did. When I go out for a long run of 20 miles or more I have to put vaseline on my nipples. One time I didn't and there was blood all down my sweat shirt when I got home. You might have noticed that as I forgot a few times. Have a great rest of the day!!!! Cheers, Dad
no Vaseline needed yet but I can foresee needing some this weekend on the long run. Where on your toes do you put it? in between?
