8 weeks down ... 8 to go. Halfway there!
Monday: 90 minutes of Power Flow Yoga. First time I bonked in a non-Bikram Yoga class in a long while. I felt great afterwards, not so hot during the class. Still a little tired from the run the past weekend, I think.
Tuesday: 3x1600 intervals on the treadmill. Actually did great on these, no problems at all. Had a nice rhythm going, thanks to some nice tunes on the iPod.
Wednesday: 90 minutes of HathaYoga. Decided not to do Bikram this week, because of the long tempo run the next day. Turns out the Hatha Yoga class was amazing, with a great teacher, and lots of new poses, postures, and a different type of emphasis. Had some nice back bends and hip openers.
Thursday: 10 mile tempo run on the treadmill. Actually felt great! First time in a long while, a longer mid-week run like this went so well. But, I was a bit light-headed afterwards, needed some Motrin to take off the edge.
Friday: REST! Got a massage instead of doing Yoga, and rested up. Was the right choice.
Saturday: 13 mile LSD run. Did my 'old-school' route at 4am and felt amazingly strong. Had lots of coconut water the day before and ate fairly light. Felt hydrated and nourished throughout, and not too bloated. Got a nice stretch in afterwards, doing several Vinyasa flows to stretch the whole body.
Now for Week #9 upcoming, this is a weird week. Short, fast intervals and tempo runs, with a long 18-miler (longest so far) on SAT. I will get to bed early on Friday and hydrate very well.
