Mon- was going to bike but the rain scared me so I went to the gym for treadmill & weights.

I did a 5 k run. My neighbor suggested 1 min @ comfortable pace, then 1 minute @ fast pace.

I repeated this for the whole 5 k. It is suppose to help me run faster. Sit ups with a friend are more fun than alone.

Tuesday- 2k swim

Wed- couldn't bike ride because I had To do some stuff I put off doing all week.

Thursday- 2k swim. I feel so much faster in a 25m pool than a 50m pool.

Friday- 5k run. Threw in a few sprints. Then did some hill sprints. Dead tired after those hill sprints. 1k walk.

Saturday- walking around an historical park. I miss my bike ride this week :(

Good speed work this week- hill sprint too? You'll certainly get faster with workouts like that!

Hope you get a bike ride in soon :-)

I hope those hill sprints work. I'm learning that just running more distance doesn't help you run any faster. It helps you run longer but not faster.

Cat on the move - speed endurance, hill work, speed work in hiding. Onyl one way to get faster, run faster. I think you are ready to smash tht 30 min 5K goals, like big time.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Old school, ran hard to every other telemphone pole.

Yes, I'm giving it a try. And I don't mind cutting back on the distance for a while either :)

Wow! Nice week of speed and hill sprint! You are going to rock your next 5K!!! I hope the weather cooperates so you can get your bike ride! GOOD JOB!!!
