{If you’re new to SIDI here’s some info: At the beginning of each week on FCITC “Say it, Do it” is a chance for us to commit to our workouts for the week by saying them out loud here and keeping each other accountable.}
After today’s run, I realized just how much I love training for a race. There was a time period when I disliked running to train, but right now I adore training for a specific goal.
I didn’t do every workout on the day I said I would do it this past week, but I did manage to get every workout in.
Tuesday night I did my first speed session since October and it was challenging to say the least. I’m excited to work hard the next few weeks so that I can start feeling strong and fast.
Most challenging workout of the week: Friday’s strength workout
Favorite workout of the week: Ten miles in Central Park today with some awesome runner friends.
Here are my workout commitments for the week:
- Monday: Off
- Tuesday: Strength + Tempo Run (2 warm-up, 3 @ HMP, 1 cool-down)
- Wednesday: Spin
- Thursday: Run 5 miles
- Friday: Strength
- Saturday: 12
- Sunday: Recovery 3 or off

I love when you work hard and are then super proud of your workout! I’m hoping to get a nice long run in this weekend and hopefully go snowboarding over the holiday! 🙂

Amber says
Ah, I miss doing this! I’ve been kind of in a weird place with my workouts, we’re moving so I have been trying to use up all of my random classes. It hasn’t left me much time for running, and I miss it but…I can run all I want next week.
Monday – Core Fusion (done!)
Tuesday – Cardio Barre
Wednesday – Spinning, Shred/TRX (I will probably die on this day)
Thursday – Shred if I can get off the waitlist, if not maybe nothing or maybe a couple of miles
Friday – Core Fusion
Saturday – moving

I hope your move went well!

I have been doing great with my workouts but I need to find my running mojo again! When I take too much time off, it is so hard to get back into it again…baby steps right? lol
Jess says
YES!
