I traveled to Santa Barbara, CA this week. I had thought my training would happen without effort, especially since I had come with a new pair of sneakers. And, after all, it is nearly always sunny, and the temperatures allow for runs in shorts and a tank top even in mid-January. However, I had to fight inertia. El Nino brought rain for two days, on Monday and Tuesday, and I then made excuses not to go to the Hyatt's gym. Located around the corner, its staff has allowed me to use this gym for free until 1 March. And even when the sun poured through my windows, as it did for the rest of the week, I found it hard sometimes to get out the door. But, if I was "perfect," I would be a Stepford Wife, and not the interestingly complex woman in recovery that I am! The final tally for this week shows that I took in fact three days off, not one, and did no strength or cross training. I did run four times, and my run on Saturday was a strong 1.5 miles long.
In going over this week's training, I recognized a need to be more calculated in my approach. And so, I have set out an actual schedule for this coming week:
Sunday: Strength - 10 minutes / Run - 1.5 miles
Monday: Day Off
Tuesday: Run - 1.5 miles / Watch video about plyometrics just to plant the seed
Wednesday: Strength - 10 minutes / Run - 1.5 miles
Thursday: Cross - Yoga - 1 hour
Friday: Cross - Bicycle - 1/2 hour
Saturday: Strength - 10 minutes / Run, 1.5 miles
