I have had a very hard time keeping up with everything this past week! Lots of working, coaching, running, oh yea and most importantly MOMMY-ING! I have had my limits tested this week and almost broke down...my body finally told me to slow down on Tuesday and I ended up in
bed or the bathroom! So here is what has been going on! I have had 2 great speework sessions since last Wednesday and actually look forward to doing the speed! Last weeks speed looked like this:
3 mile warm up then 10 x 400 meter repeats @ 1:30 - 1:26 with a 60-90 second RI..I ended with 9.25 miles in 67 minutes.
Yesterday's speedwork was done after my teams lacrosse game and being frozen AGAIN! I did a 2 mile warm up at 7:30 pace then 8 x 800 meter repeats with a .20 - .25 RI in between ... I was feeling great so I really wanted to end with 9 miles under 64 minutes so I pushed the cooldown pace and finished with 9.2 in 66:10.

Best combo for speed...Oiselle, Mizuno and Feetures! |
Cross training this past week consisted of 2 days of lifting, rowing, and stairmonster! I forgot how much of a workout rowing is....I have a nice blister on my hand to prove it!

So I crammed a ton in to the past week especially Thursday - Sunday and barely any sleep! I worked Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights... We had our first lacrosse game on Friday and we totally rocked the field! 17-7 victory and my team finally clicked together which is a beautiful thing to see! So proud of these girls...Then straight from the game I went right into work for 12 hours...then on Saturday I had to go see my all time favorite college lacrosse goalie play against Wilmington University...Her team also won and she added some spice to the game! LOVE her...I feel like a proud mom watching her play and just excel in her sport as well as her AMAZINGLY positive attitude!

GCU LAX!! |
After the game my hubby's softball team had their beef and beer ... I am not going to lie I was so beyond tired and dreading having to go to work at 3 am ... I debated not going to the beef and beer. I also figured they were like any other typical men's softball team. Well, I was completely wrong....This team seems like an amazing group of men and I actually am looking forward to seeing them play. I ended up having a great time and got to spend my BFF's birthday eve with her too! Plus they also had delicious cupcakes:
Sunday - Long run of 15.15 miles in 1:55 minutes and felt pretty darn good considering all the craziness of the weekend. My back was very stiff on the right side so I need to go see my PT asap!
It is so amazing how just a little tweaking and adjustment can change things majorly! I was able to go see my PT friend and get straightened out..plus a little Rock Tape! It is almost instant relief and I could tell such a difference on my speedwork last night!!! Thank God!
Some other exciting news this week is we finally have a girl in the group!!!
