Bonded Forever Week 4 Training for Get Your Rear in Gear 2013

#getyourrearingear

I’m really proud of my fourth week of training for the Get Your Rear in Gear 10k! I was able to run a 10k in under an hour (I ran 6.61 miles in a hour, to be exact), which is a feat that completely blew my mind. I joked to a friend that the full moon must’ve given me Forrest Gump-like distance running abilities, because once I hit the 3 mile mark, “I just kept running.” I literally felt light as air and if I could continue running forever. However, after I realized how far I had managed to run away from my home, I made the wise decision to start heading back… instead of ending up in another state or city.

For the rest of the week, I kept my training simple and smart. I took a challenging Vinyasa class taught by Yoganonymous founder, Dan Wilf, at Dhyana Yoga the day after my long run to recuperate. The rest of the week consisted of short runs mixed in with cardio classes and Pilates. I finished the week off right with a sweaty Get Your Rear in Gear fundraiser class at Gratitude Yoga.
