I've been running on-and-off for several years. "Normally" I get my cardio via ballet or jazz classes supplemented with 1-3 days of running on my "off" days. Re-locating has disrupted my dance training schedule and now I'm more or less a full time runner.
I currently exercise seven days a week and mix up my routine with running, walking, swimming, and Jillian Michael's Power Yoga. On average, I put 20-25 miles on my shoes per week, varied between running or walking depending on the heat and humidity. I generally swim 1-2 days a week, and do yoga at least once a week. In the spring I ran a tough 12K and an easy 10K.
I'm cobbling together a training schedule that will work with the weather here in the desert. My long runs will likely be on Monday evenings, with recovery or cross training (walking, swimming, yoga) on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I intend to include runs on Wednesday, Friday (tempo run or speed work), and Sundays if I can. However, I'm still not 100% sure how to space the workouts and recovery. Once I settle on a plan I'll put it on the blog.
My progress will be tracked on DailyMile via the widgets to the right. I'll include feedback on my equipment (shoes, socks, sports bras, etc), and my cooking endeavors as well.
Come train with me!
