Week 6 complete!

I did all of last week's workouts! I am very happy about that.

The leg cramping is still an issue so I am working on taking supplements and staying as hydrated as I can.

The week ahead is similar to last week's except I am switching things around because of my trip to Phoenix. Last year I did the Lost Dutchman 8km trail race for fun and I am doing that again. So this week my 16km long run will be on Thursday with the race on Sunday.

I am looking forward to the week where I don't really have to worry about anyone but me. The worst part is the flight. I find my joints get sore. But I am going to have Advil at the ready and I will be wearing my compression sleeves as well as my tightest run tights to help.

I'm the worst blogger ever!

I honestly do have intention of getting to the blog but time slips away so quickly. I have been running consistently and even took a cutback week to give my body a rest before the intensity of the speed intervals, race pace runs and increased distance of the long runs.

My total mileage for January was 180km.

I am halfway through week 6 and my intention is to meet up with the program and do the prescribed mileage. All runs are easy pace unless indicated. Also note I switch the Thursday and Friday runs

Week 6
Monday - 6.4 km
Tuesday - 14.4 km including 12 x 400 @5km pace
Wednesday - rest or cross train
Thursday - 11.2 km including 8 km @ goal pace
Friday - 6.4 km easy
Saturday - 12.8 km
Sunday - 12.8 km

I'll update at the end of the week. Hopefully. I'm so bad at this!
