Well thank goodness for Week 3! After a less than stellar Week 2, it was nice to get back on track! There were 19 miles on my plan and I finished with 16 miles – I’ll take it! So here’s how the week played out:
Monday: Cross-training – 55 minutes on the bike
Tuesday: 4.25 mile run – hot, humid and hilly!
Wednesday: Pilates Barre – my usual weekly class. I can never say enough good things about this class – and this week was no different!
Thursday: Sick kiddo at home led to strength training/leg work at home instead of running.
Friday: Thursday’s 6 mile tempo run became Friday’s 5.25 tempo – I ended up cutting my cool-down a little short in order to jam some “must do” errands in before the kids got home from camp.
Saturday: 6.5 mile LSD. It was suppose to be 8 but my legs were toast! I knew I was taking a chance doing a tempo run on Friday, but I just didn’t want to miss the workout. I think the other contributing factor was being on my feet Friday evening at the Athleta event.
Sunday: Rest day at the beach!
Overall not a bad week. I was super diligent about rolling, especially post-run and I think it helped – no KT Tape needed!
How did last week go for you?
You will be amazed how much the rolling will help you, as the miles continue to increase, if your body is used to the rolling, it will recover sooooo much faster! Keep it up Michelle 🙂

Rolling is soo crucial. I purposely have my in my living room so I remember to use it while im watching tv in the evenings. I thk it has really helped too. Your sunday activity sounds delightful:)
I’ve done the same thing – just leave it in my family room. Every little reminder helps 🙂
Looks like a decent week! Hope the kiddo is feeling better!
