November Training 11/11/12-11/17/12

My weekly training log is late because I have just been crazy busy! This past weekend was the written portion of our test for yoga teacher training so it was a long and stressful week last week and weekend.  I'm hoping that things will settle down after this weekend and I will begin to feel a bit more normal!

This weekend was a lot of yoga. A LOT! I would say that between Saturday and Sunday we did at least 6 hours of yoga.  My body was sore and tired yesterday morning.  I ran and then did a 45/45 class, spinning and yoga so needless to say this morning was a bit worse than Monday.  ;) I have a half day tomorrow so I'm going to get a run in the morning and then I have a tempo run Thursday and a race Saturday! Woohoo! I'm excited and nervous.  I haven't done a race in a while so I'm hoping it goes well and I'm not super slow!

The biggest change for me between the 5k plan and the 10k plan is tempo runs and speedwork.  I'm struggling with the speedwork.  I having been trying to hit up the trails as much as I can because my race this weekend is a trail run and in a hilly place, but hills are not conducive to speedwork.  I'm going to try and hit a mostly flat trail on Thursday for the speedwork.

This week of training also brought my first full 5k distance. It was nice to finally get there!
