This past week marked my third week of training for our event "5 Wonders Under 25 Minutes." It was the first week that I ran 6 out of 7 days, even with 40 hours of coaching on the tennis court. It was a very solid week of establishing a base with my fitness level and working on my speed form. The weather was perfect this week in Sarasota -  70s during the day with low humidity and 50s at night. It does not get any better than that...

Monday: 5 miles easy followed by strength work.
Tuesday: 6 miles medium with the 10 seconds all out sprints up the steepest portion of the Ringling Bridge. Hurdles, medicine ball, and bands with Wayne.
Wednesday: 4 miles easy, stationary bike, core work, followed by a full body massage.
Thursday: Ran a  recovery 5 miles with the Sarasota High track team.
Friday: no running, but 8 hours of hitting tennis balls.
Saturday: 6 miles total with Wayne - my first all out 12 x 100 yard sprints working on my form and feel. Hurdles, medicine ball, and bands with various strength work.
Sunday: 5 miles recovery with 8 hours of tennis.

This coming week will be set up a little differently as we will be traveling to Orlando on Saturday the 26th for Disney's Fit for a Princess Expo on behalf of my compression sock sponsor, Sigavris. I will be speaking about the value of graduated compression socks from Sigvaris (I heard that Sigvaris made a special purple Performance Sock for this women's event). Please stop by the Sigvaris booth between 10-4 on Saturday at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The half marathon takes place on Sunday.
