Tuesday Workouts
I got up early so I could run before work since I know I do not have time after work. easy and quick 3 miles. I have a 12 k on Saturday so am trying to get some runs in this week but will rest Friday.I would like to get one long run in tomorrow; is it too close to race day to do 7 miles tomorrow?

2 mile walk at lunch - 3.7mph pace. Feels good to slip that in!
UPDATE: added in some strength work tonight, and sit ups - cuz I need to do that stuff more!
NO, i would not run a 7 mile this close to a 12k race. My last "long" run is usually a week before a race. That's just me. I'm running a 1/2 marathon Sunday and I ran 7miles on this past Sunday. probably just walking and weights for me this week.

3rd meeting with my personal trainer after an 8 minute warmup on the elliptical. We met for an hour this time. She has me working on balance, core, and stomach muscles. I have to stand on these rubbery half circles. First time, I kept falling off. Today it was standing on a big rubber half circle while she tossed a ball to me. Thank G-d there was no video to post on you-tube!
