It was another productive week for the PYP's. We all managed to move in the direction of our goals; even with a long holiday weekend that could have easily thrown us off course. The balancing act continues to be a theme for this group.
Bill was off to a slow start but turned it around over the holiday weekend. He is maintaining his 5 mile runs and has managed to get his 5K times down to about a 7:05 / mile pace (roughly 45 second improvement from a month ago). Over the last month his stamina on the racquetball court and in the weight room has steadily increased. His goal for this week is to increase to a 6 mile run.
Lyndse ran 53 miles...need we say more? She also focused on safety while running solo: be aware of your surroundings, wear light clothing, and always always bring your cell phone for emergencies.
Adam had another productive week as well. He has lost a total of 4lbs to date- an exciting milestone! He did a combination of running and lifting weights. Adam now runs at a personal record pace of 10min/mile and looks forward to continuing this positive trend. Unfortunately, all the fun from the LONG weekend set him back a bit. Looks like rice cakes and carrot sticks this week.
Katie completed her first "long" run of 20 miles on Saturday with the training group. Weights one day, including squats to improve quad strength after some muscle pain. She stuck to her goal of drinking ten 8oz glasses of water and the extra hydration was invaluable. The down-side is that she has to get to work a 1/2 hour early to account for all the added bathroom breaks throughout the day.
On to week #5, can you believe we are almost halfway there?
