Week 2 Half #Marathon w some yummy Meat and Potatoes

Crap. I just looked at the workout schedule and I’m pretty sure I took off three days instead of two? Not because I wanted to. Not at all. There’s always this crazy week where my hubby works 24/7. Seriously. It puts me on mama duty with no relief at all. Between my daughter having a scary water incident (dry drowning just scares the heck out of me) and my son having a fever (as high at 104), I have been tied down. Let’s just say, it made for quite the challenge. (Even showering..sigh)

In lieu of crazy world, I’m starting week two today and sharing a yummy dish with you!

Here is week two schedule (again):

Day 1: REST

Day 2: R/W 3 miles + ST

Day 3: XT 30 minutes

Day 4: R/W 2 miles

Day 5: REST

Day 6: R/W 3 miles

Day 7: W 2 miles

Code:

ST Perform 20 minutes of lower body and core exercises (e.g., pushups, squats, lungest, deadlifts, planks).

XT Incorporate one or two days of non-impact cross-training, such as cycling, slliptical, swimming and yoga into your routine to build your fitness and prevent injuries

W Walk

R/W Run/Walk

These guidelines for training are from the Women’s Running Magazine June 2013 edition.

So here I go…yup, watch me get up…. 3 miles and ON!
