Weekly Recap: January 3-9

I was able to run 3 days this week and felt pretty good despite my legs feeling tired during my 5 miler on Saturday morning. This probably had to do with the fact that I worked out late in the afternoon on Friday so my legs were a little sore from lifting. I'm hoping to bump up my mileage just a little bit this week and have a little bit of a "longer" run this weekend.

Monday: 4 mi (7:46 pace); 60 min elliptical

Tuesday: 75 min Power Flow Yoga

Wednesday: REST

Thursday: 4 mi (7:44 pace); core

Friday: 30 min elliptical; lifted total body

Saturday: 5 mi (8:14 pace)

Sunday: taught 20 min core & taught 50 min spinning

TOTAL: 13 mi

Hi there :) So happy for you in getting back to running. I can't wait to hear about your training for Boston!

I was wondering if you would have any books / websites / etc. to recommend to someone just starting out running. A few of my friends just ran the half marathon at Disney and this was each of their first race longer than a 5k. They're encouraging me to train after I have this baby and to run it with them next January, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to running, especially distance!!

Even with losing 20+ lbs and working out like crazy last year, I didn't incorporate much running at all. I love the eliptical / bike / arc trainer. I could run a mile pre-pregnancy easily, but pushing beyond that is where I become totally lost!

Let me know if you have any recommendations :) No rush as I can't run now until the end of May (6 weeks post partum) anyway!
