Reset (Again)

I see my last blog post was Tuesday. It seems so long ago. Between work, classes and extracurricular volunteering, I've had little time to even think about keeping this up to date.

And as indicated, I had a weekend of training that meant throwing out the meal plan and no workouts. Take into account I didn't get back home until late Sunday afternoon and workouts for last week, we're toasted.

I did get in a Triceps workout on Wednesday, but that was it.

So yesterday it was a reset (sort of). My meal plan wasn't fully planned but I did get in my shoulder workout (using same numbers as week previous). It felt really good if not a bit tough.

I also got my run in today. It was one of those runs where as soon as I took a couple of steps, it just felt RIGHT. And it was. I did one of my usual "interval" sessions, but with a tweak at the end:
1/2 mile warmup
1/4 mile sprint / 1/4 mile jog (5 times)
1/8 mile sprint

The difference with the above is that usually it's 4 times for the intervals and this time I went to 5. By doing this, I was able to complete my fastest 5K. The time was 24 min 23 sec.

I won't do each interval breakdown, but my avg speed worked out to be 7.7 mph with 403 calories being burned.
