12 Weeks to Boston: Elizabeth

Monday: 1 hour Kickboxing. Great workout. Haven't done kickboxing in probably a year.
Tuesday: 1 hour spin. I was sore from kickboxing and the soreness got worse as the day went on.
Wednesday: 5-mile tempo run on treadmill. Easy mile followed by three tempo miles (8:00, 7:47, 7:27). 8:50 cool-down mile.
Thursday: Piyo in the am. I am so inflexible, i can't even touch my toes. I've got to make this workout a weekly habit.
Speed work on track in the pm. 1 mile warm up followed by 5-800s with 400m easy lap in between: 3:17, 3:20, 3:16, 3:19, 3:22. 1 mile cool down.
Felt great and was pleasantly surprised with my times. I am super excited to do these on a weekly basis.
Friday: Rest (and well deserved if I may say so)
Saturday: 11.5 miles, 200 w to 400 s to 700 w to airport road to 3000 s and back on 700 w. I wanted to run at about an 8:50 pace. First half was 8:42 and by the end I got my average down to 8:37. Very happy. I didn't take any energy or water. I desperately needed water and finally found some at mile 10 at the gym. I need a water belt.

Overall, a great week. Now I just need to keep the energy up from this week into next week.
