8 is Great...Part 2!

Hi girls!  I hope everyone was able to get in their big walk/run last week.  I missed a lot of you on Wednesday.  It was very hot and I am assuming that you decided to do your big work out at a different time.  This week we are doing 8 miles again.  We will have some repeats over the next couple of week.  This just gives our bodies time to adjust and heal.  I am really proud of you!  Keep up the good work!  Here is the homework this week:


RUNNERS

Wednesday Run 8 Miles
Thursday Stretch and Strengthen
Friday Run 5 Miles
Saturday Run 3 Miles or Crosstrain
Sunday Rest
Monday Run 5 Miles PLUS Strength Train
Tuesday Rest or EASY Run


WALKERS:

Wednesday Walk 8 Miles
Thursday 50 Minute Walk
Friday 1 Hour Walk
Saturday 50 Minute Walk PLUS Strength
Sunday Rest
Monday 1 Hour Walk
Tuesday Rest

TRAINER TIP OF THE WEEK:
Do not underestimate the power of homework.  We are doing a repeat of last week because it is important for your body to adjust to the stress you are putting on it.  Please DO NOT think that because you are repeating a week that this means that you have the week off!  This is absolutely important that you do the homework and not neglect your workouts.  It will pay off on May 30!  Keep hydrated on your runs (especially as the weather gets warmer) and don't forget to eat!  

If you have not gotten and email confirmation for the race and you signed up...please let me know.  I am going to call tomorrow to confirm.  Please check to see if your check cleared or your credit card was charged before you let me know.  That way I can let the people know that payment was received.  Tomorrow is the deadline for this...after that I will let you check it out on your own.  

Have a great week!!
13.1...Here We Come!!!
