Half Marathon training, week 6

Is it 6 weeks already???

This is for week 8/29/11to 9/3/11:


Monday:

Spin, back and bi's, abs

Tuesday:
5 mi. tempo., including one mile warm-up and cool down, and 3 miles @9:05. I managed to hold the tempo pace for most of the 3 miles. I started to slow down with 1/2 mile to go in the tempo. Average pace was 9:41, time was 48:23.

Wednesday:
Spin, chest and tri's

Thursday: 
3 miles on the hamster wheel, legs/glutes, shoulders, abs/core
I slept in this morning because I needed more sleep and my body was like, "Hello!? You are supposed to be running!!" I got a little more sleep and took it to the treadmill. I would have much rather been running with my friends!!

Friday: 
REST- I am liking this new glute workout. I was sore for 2 days.

Saturday: 
8 mile long run. This was a recovery week. I usually obsess over how stinkin' hot it is, while driving to our start. I was in a fog and forgot to I forgot to eat my usual pre-run banana look at the beginning temps. It was thankfully cooler. Too bad it wasn't like that last week. Oh well. Total time was 1:22:03 and avg. pace was 10:15. Rock on!!


Thoughts: I am happy with this week. I am less stressed as I know that God is in control of everything. I can only do so much and leave the rest to Him!

Fashion Friday

I like fashion. I appreciate it. I am not a fashionista. If a friend asks me for an opinion about clothing, I can give an honest semi-educated answer. However.......


This is from Gwen's line of clothing called L.A.M.B.




If you've never been to Haute Look. Go there....but not until you are finished reading. A friend turned me on to it and basically you can get killer deals on designer items. I am not a name brand snob but who doesn't love a deal?! This is how I came upon these killer (as in you're killing me) pants. I thought Hammer pants were out for good!


Oh Gwen.......



Do you think these pants will catch on in the fashion world? Or will this be something you will see on the likes of Lady Gaga-type celebs?
