Beginning Week 2 of Training

Ran 3 miles this morning.  My legs felt a little tired after having the long run on Saturday and the plyo workout on Sunday.  I was able to maintain an average pace of 10:35.  This was in my goal range of 10:20-10:40 for my 3 mile runs.  After my run, I spent the rest of the day at school getting my classroom ready.  Had a nice lunch some of my team members and our "extended team" from the other building.  It was great to see everyone.  Felt great the rest of the day.  Signed up for a 5K in September.  The training plan suggested doing a 5K in September and a 10K at the beginning of October as a way to practice racing and monitor progress.  My best 5K race so far is 32:29, which is an average pace of 10:29.  My goal will be to try for a personal best at the 5K.  Planning on yoga tomorrow, 3 miles on Wednesday followed by some strength training, 2 miles on Thursday, rest on Friday (my b-day!), some sort of cross training on Saturday (maybe just a walk- depends how tired I am from celebrating on Friday), and a long run on Sunday.  I'm hoping to complete 10 miles again on Sunday.  I like to review my plan at the beginning of the week to get my focus for the week.  Our work days officially start this week, too, so I'm hoping I can maintain my training with the beginning of the school year.  I believe I can do it!
