Accio Abs!

Good evening everyone! Today, I had a Harry Potter Marathon! I finished the Order of the Phoenix! I plan on watching the rest this weekend! I have come to the realization that my marathon is only 8 weeks away! I can't believe I have been training for 4 months. It is mind blowing to me! Time has really flown by. At the start of my training, I did not think I would be able to complete a marathon. It felt out of reach.  Now, I feel like I can complete it. I still have miles to complete and a ways to go, but I have a new mindset towards it. I am hoping to have an even better and more confident mindset in the next 6 weeks before my taper-off period. With that, here is week 17 of training: Week 17: Marathon Specific Training Monday 8/19/19: Speedwork and Barre 2 mile warm up 4 x (800m uphill at HMP, 60 seconds rest, 800m downhill at MP) 2 minutes rest between sets 2 mile warm down I have been trying faster speeds with my paces and feeling better with them (they a...

Half Marathon Pace (HMP) was 7:19 min/mile and Marathon Pace (MP) was ran at 7:41 min/mile. Tuesday 8/6/19: OrangeTheory, Legs, and Barre Legs 4 sets: Floating Plate Leg Press: 180lb...

Good evening everyone! I hope you are doing well! I am doing pretty good, although I am feeling a bit sick at the moment. Hopefully I am feeling A-OK by tomorrow morning for my speed work out! I finally finished the Chamber of Secrets! Yay! On to the Prisoner of Azkaban! I have not been able to get in as much reading time as I hoped. I have also been binge watch Jane the Virgin like a mad woman! This week, I definitely should have more reading time! Here is my training this past week! I hit a lot of new personal records! Let's see what those were 😃! Week 14: Marathon Specific Training Monday 7/29/19: Speed Work 2 mile Warm Up 4 x 1 mile at 10k pace with 3 minutes rest 1-2 mile Warm Down I am not a huge fan of mile repeats, but they are a great speed workout, that's for sure! Warm up and warm down were an 8:27min/mile pace. 10k pace was at 7:03min/mile. I did not get up early enough to get this work out in before work, so I went to the gym after work. Let me tel...
