Yogini Runs

The promise was to have a post at least at the end of every week however life has other plans. So after a week of whirlwind tour on business I finally found time to complete this while wait to board my flight back home. Week 10 had 2 recovery runs of 5.5 and 7.5K plus the benchmark run and a long run for 15km. Sometimes feel that the Nike plan has more recovery runs than any other type but whatever I am just going with the flow and not questioning the method right now. The beauty of the Nike run plus coaching plan is I can edit the schedule. So I moved around the workouts from Monday and Tuesday.   Tuesday I did an easy walk on the treadmill with an elevation of 10 at a lower speed for 2km. While the speed wasn’t high it still worked the quads. Its work in progress on elevation as there aren’t any hill runs as part of the plan. Wednesday I managed to run 5.5k.

I am liking that there is a certainly accountability that is built by writing these posts.I spent yesterday reading all the back dated post and realized the most difference in the beginning of the journey were made when I was diligent with writing.

The journey this far The plan that I am currently following is to get me to my Bengaluru Half marathon on the 15th of October.

It has been two years from my last post and the reason I never came back is because I wanted to abandon this blog forever. Then today I got a comment on my last post today which got me back to the blog. I ended reading my post and to be honest I felt why would I want to give up some great posts that I wrote. This blog was supposed to be my journal to getting through motherhood , and being a better me and I was ready to give it up because it wasn't garnering an audience. Which wasn't the purpose of the blog to start with, so I have decided that i will give it a go again. While I was away I found a space on Instagram to document my fitness journey and I am quite regular, but there times that there is so much I want to say and Insta doesn't fulfill my needs . So for all those who end up here don't forget to go to my Insta handle @beingyummymummy to see the missing year.
