So, first lets review week 2. The first run of week 2 went really well, but then an action packed weekend followed by my cat being unwell meant that the second run was 5 days later and also I did not make any yoga classes this week. I did however manage to fit in some foam rolling and a little stretching so I think I'm making progress. In case you were wondering, my cat is much better now after a course of antibiotics :)
Week 2 also taught me the importance of keeping on top of the laundry! Especially if I want to be getting my sweat on every day. I have discovered that the light sport load setting on my washing machine is nice and quick for all my technical fabric kit, but I should probably get a few more outfits so that I don't have to run the machine every day!
Week 3 Plan
On to week 3 and as you can see from the table below, some of the run segments jump by a full minute and on the last run of the week they have doubled in size! This seems like quite a big jump and I would happy continuing to add 30 seconds to my current run segments, but I'm going to keep with the program and maybe I'll surprise myself.| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 |

This weeks Goals
Since I'm still trying to get the stretching, foam rolling, yoga and running all happening in the same week, I think this will continue to be my goal for the next 2 weeks.Also, to encourage myself with something to work towards, I intend to enter the Blackmores XTERRA Auckland Trail Series!
