I love reading about what types of exercises other runners do each week, whether that's getting in miles on the treadmill, or lifting weights at the gym. Learning different workout styles helps me to tone my technique, and try new things that I never would have thought about!
As I mentioned in my 10K training post, I've been following Hal Higdon's 10K training plan the past two weeks.
During week two, I've continued to focus on shorter runs, with the longest one being a 3.5 mile run this Sunday.
My workouts this week:
Monday: After doing some stretching and warm-up exercises, I went to 45 minutes of personal training with Sean, and it kicked my butt.
Tuesday: Ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill and did the "Sexy Leg Workout" that I posted on Instagram.
Wednesday: I was supposed to do 30 minutes of cross training, but I wasn't feeling well at all, so I used Wednesday as my "rest day."
Thursday: I mistakenly ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill, instead of the suggested two (I probably needed it though!) I also did abs, and did a good amount of exercises using weights at the gym.
Friday: Today, I have personal training again, so I'm using that as my "40 minute cross." During training, we do super intense cardio workouts, as well as use all different weights. It's a full-body workout, and I end up drenched!
Tomorrow: I'll be doing the "30 Minute Cross" that I missed on Wednesday by running on the elliptical, and then I have my long run on Sunday!
I've mentioned before on my blog that I'm not the healthiest of eaters. Sweets are my ultimate weakness and I LOVE Japanese food. Instead of cutting these out completely (because that normally doesn't work very well,) I've been trying to make some small changes!
1. Ordering water instead of Coke
2. Eating pretzels instead of potato chips
3. Getting fruit instead of french fries
I hope changing these few things in my diet will help me on the way to my ultimate get-fit goals! Have you been getting in your workouts this week?

As always, Have a Sweet Day!
I had been training for a 10k in April until I got an injury and I am supper bummed. I am trying to find low-impact workouts while my ankle heals. Before though, stairmaster was one my favorite cross training activities. Sounds like you are doing great with your goal to be fit!
