August fitness

No Comments

Re-cap of 2010 fitness here.

It slipped my mind that I haven’t done a monthly fitness post last month. So here’s what it consisted of in August. Not much!

August 3. Tuesday — Ran 8k on the trails
August 5. Thursday — Ran 7k (had some troubles)
August 8. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 10 Tuesday — Ran 5k on the trails
August 12. Thursday — Ran 7k
August 15. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 16. Monday — Ran 3-4k
August 20. Friday — Ran 6k w/ Boyfriend (36 mins)
August 22. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 29. Sunday — IRONMAN CANADA (I did actually end up walking 16k this day to our hotel and back… failing to realize how far it actually was).

Complete active August fail on my part. Breathing issues,  and not being motivated because of it. I will own September, just you watch. There are some races coming up this month, and I want to do them!! I need to remember to do short speedy workouts, and long runs. Not every run has to be a personal record. Not every run needs to be fast. Not every run has to be perfect. I need to remember this quote that I posted:

July 16. Friday — Co-ed Soccer
July 18. Sunday — Played soccer and hurt my leg

July 27. Tuesday — Got back on the trails and ran for 2.5k then QUIT. I ended up leaving the forest and finding my way back to the car which probably ended up in a 7k run regardless.
July 29. Thursday — Ran a slow (38 minute) 6.5k with the running group. Definitely what I needed to get me back into it.
July 30. Friday — Ran 6k in 35:49 with the boyf.

Okay, so all I did was basically run all July. I stopped for a good bit to let my leg rest. But other than that, I think I’m doing pretty well!
