Here are a few pictures from my busy week last week!
Tuesday: spin class. I decided to go festive with new ProCompression holiday socks!
After class a few of us went out for margaritas and tacos. They were delicious!
And a better shot of my festive compression socks…
Thursday: treadmill run with 3 x 1:00 hill repeats, 15:00 tempo run, 3 x 1:00 hill repeats. Wow, that second set of hill repeats was tough!
Friday: my legs were exhausted! In order to prepare for a big weekend of running ahead I wore my comfy Zensah compression socks to work.
Saturday: I had a one hour zone build run with 3 x 10:00 intervals, increasing pace every 2:00. The last time I did this workout I started way too fast. This time I made sure I could build my intervals and kept challenging myself to make the next one faster. Success!
Sunday: my long run day! My plan was to run 18.5 mi. After running from Edworthy 
I decided to switch up my route a bit, going past Memorial Park 
along the Elbow River through Stanley Park 
down the pathway to Sandy Beach Park 
and up a huge hill in to River Park 
finishing up near a McDonalds where I refuelled with some hot, delicious French fries.
And that was my week of workouts in a nutshell! Here is my week number four of the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge:
-
Running: 34.48 mi = 34.48 points
-
Spinning 90 min = 9 points
-
Fruits/veggies/FB participation = 8
-
Foam Rolling 15 min = 0.75 points
-
TOTAL = 52.23 points
Ah yes. The never ending killer hill up out of Sandy Beach. I've nearly had a heart attack on that hill. That's a beautiful route to run. Any of your coworkers notice the socks? And aside from the visit to Mcikies, great week!
