Very Belated Week in Review: March 11th-March 17th
It's been a busy week and my priority was getting the race recap posted, okay? Whatever. Better late than never.
Monday:
barre3 - with Lauren. Felt really strong at first, but started to randomly feel a little woozy in the middle, and I just couldn’t recover from there. I probably didn’t have enough salt before class. I’ll do better next time.
Was supposed to go to a NYC Half course preview at the NYRR RUNCENTER, but when I got there they were out of pint glasses and it was super crowded so I just took a few Honey Stinger Waffles and left. It didn’t seem super well organized and made me a little nervous about Sunday, but whatever.
Tuesday:
Run - 3.14 miles, 41:13 minutes, 13:08 min/mi avg pace. Other than some route planning mistakes (I did bad math in my head), this was an unexceptional run.
Wednesday:
barre3 - with Andrew (a guest instructor/instructor trainer from Portland). Sometimes I go to barre3 and it’s somehow exactly what I need. This was one of those classes. I thought Andrew was fantastic, and I knew when to push myself and when to hold back. Signing up for this was a last-minute decision (I was at first planning to avoid the crowds that accompany a guest instructor), and I’m really glad I did. I would take Andrew’s class if I was ever in Portland.
Thursday:
Run - 3.11 miles, 36:56 minutes, 11:52 min/mi avg pace. I did this as my NYC Half Virtual 5K, but I forgot that I usually don’t pause during those runs, so my Garmin time and my official time disagree. GPS went a little nutty, and stupidly I trusted the GPS, not my knowledge of how far I have to run down Columbus Ave to run 1.55 miles, so … I ended up having to run up and down in front of my building to get to 3.11 miles (spoiler alert: Strava took a 5K from Sunday's race to use as the virtual race, so it really didn't matter). Otherwise good run.
Friday:
barre3 - with Jess. It occured to me on the subway ride down that doing barre3 two days before the race might not be the best idea, so I took it mostly easy.
Went from barre3 to the race expo, which was was boring.
Saturday:
Rest day!
Sunday:
Run - United Airlines NYC Half! Official time was 2:28:11
Upcoming: (well, mostly already happened, but whatever)
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - barre3
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - 3 mi Easy
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 3 mi Easy
Today was the first run of the new plan ... but more on that in the next update. It's going to be an interesting plan ... two hard runs some weeks for the first time in a while, runs that start at one tempo pace and end at a faster pace (is that what everyone's always talking about with progression runs?) ... we'll see how it goes.
