I've reached my fundraising goal for Team Bright Pink but there's still definitely time to donate and support education women about their breast and ovarian health!

Saturday - 16 mile run
As you know, I didn't finish the 20-miler last week because of hitting a wall and ankle pain, so I ran a little more than scheduled (14 miles) this weekend because I wanted to make up for it. My ankle was hurting on and off but I think it will be fine for the race. My legs were feeling tired, however, so I ran pretty slow, 9:23/mile pace. It concerns me that my legs were tired because I didn't workout much all week. I just have to be sure to taper for the next two weeks so I'm ready for race day!
Sunday - Bikram Yoga
I really should have been doing yoga after long runs throughout all of training. The thing is, I'm quite inflexible and I really don't like doing yoga. I love the feeling after but I'm hating it during class, especially because Bikram is 90-minutes and HOT. After yoga and brunch with Ryan's parents, I headed to NTC Lincoln Park to do a photo shoot with the Marathon Crew (pictured below)! It was fun and hopefully we get to see some of the pics soon.
A lot of people have asked me about my homemade energy gels that I use for running, I finally posted the recipe last week! Also, be sure to enter the Vega One Starter Kit giveaway!!
What was your favorite/best workout last week?

I honestly dread going but I do feel absolutely amazing after. I feels good to both sweat everything out and stretch my muscles and joints. Let me know if you try it again!
ReplyDeleteTaper is the hardest part. I get anxious thinking I should do more. I'm going to stick the training and do stretching and yoga more. I have yet to do hot yoga, but I want to try sometime after my races.
ReplyDeleteLOVE bikram! wish I had more time for it during training!
ReplyDeleteI have no favorite work outs last week lol Just pretending it didn't happen.
Almost taper time over here!
Heal up!!
I know, I'm having a hard time tapering too. I think I did too much at crossfit this week because my legs are sore. I have to be much more careful next week!
ReplyDeleteTurns out I'm not going anymore, we're sending someone else from ANL :(
ReplyDeleteI wish I had done Bikram at least once a week during training. I meant to when I started in June but I just became lazy on rest days haha.
ReplyDeleteWater aerobics? Maybe because you have to actually hold your breath? I haven't had a problem at all during slower distance runs, I feel it more during crossfit and track workouts.
