This was a really good week of training. I finally feel like I’m finding my groove at a faster pace. While it’s not easy for me, and probably never will be, it’s definitely becoming more natural.

I did a 3-miler on Tuesday night and a 5-mile tempo run on Thursday morning.

I notice my muscles are always tight on Friday after that. I decided to take this Friday as a rest day instead of cross training to give them a rest. I wanted fresh legs for Saturday.

As I mentioned in my race recap from Saturday , I set some very specific time goals for both the 5K and 10K. I was excited to be able to achieve both of them. It was really encouraging as I head into the last few weeks of this training plan.

Here’s what my week looked like:

Monday

• Personal Training

Tuesday

• 3-mile run (9:27 pace)

Wednesday

• Personal Training

Thursday

• 5-mile Tempo Run (9:12 average pace)
• Weight Training

Friday

• Rest

Saturday

• 10+ mile Run including St. Pete Beach Classic Duo 10k & 5K (5k 8:55 pace, 10k 9:25 pace)

Sunday

• Rest

I can’t believe I only have 3 weeks left until Rock ‘n Roll. This plan flew by!
