Week 4, Day 2 and Day 3 AND Annapolis Half Marathon

From Thursday:

Even though I haven’t been training that well for my upcoming half marathon (which is in two days!) I am currently in my taper week which meant I had a thirty minute easy run on tap for tonight. I skipped last night’s 30 minute easy run, which probably wasn’t the best idea but I’ll be okay! The circuit felt good tonight!

Dips: 24, 24, 28, 28, 23, 23, 28, Max

Crunches: 30, 30, 36, 36, 27, 27, 33, Max

My max sets were as follows: Crunches – 75, Dips – 60, and Push ups – 25


Today:

The family went to Annapolis tonight in preparation for the Annapolis Half tomorrow morning. We decided that it would be fun for the boys (all three of them) if we went to a Naval Academy hockey game since they had a home game scheduled. We left home around 5:00 and got to the arena just before the game started. It was fun to watch the boys (B and R in particular) enjoy the game…A was a little distracted, but what else is new!

This morning was the half marathon. The race start was scheduled for 7:00 which is an early morning! We had alarms set for around 5:00 so I could get a shower in (I know, silly before a big run but it gets me going for the day) and then we could either walk to the stadium (about a mile) or drive over. I had an alarm clock in my purse from the last run we went to which was set for 5:10 before the time change. That being said, the first alarm went off in our room at 4:10 this morning! Both R and I were afraid we would fall back asleep and oversleep the real alarms so we were basically awake then even though we didn’t get out of bed. It was pretty chilly this morning so instead of walking to the stadium all of us drove over. The run started at 7:15 instead of 7:00 and I clocked a time of 2:12:18 which isn’t too bad. B and A did a kids run around the stadium and they got their own medals for completing it. Even with the chilly temperatures and the wait time it was a great event!

So I still decided to do my three activities tonight because I want to try to stay on schedule since I’ve already had to repeat a week when I stopped doing my work! Here’s what it looked like:

Dips: 26, 26, 31, 31, 26, 26, 28, Max

Crunches: 30, 30, 36, 36, 30, 30, 40, Max

My max sets were as follows: Crunches – 80, Dips – 70, and Push ups – 30
