Thurs, 11/5: 5.5 mile run at 6am
Fri, 11/6: rest.
Sat, 11/7: 8 mile morning run — 3.5m solo, 4.5m with the boytoy.
Sun, 11/8: light gym sesh (with boy) in my building: kettlebells, abs, free weights
Mon, 11/9: 5 mile run home from work, during which i literally ran into one of my friends and kept pace with him & his speedy long legs for the last couple of miles. it was nice to have someone push me a bit.
Tues, 11/10: worked out in my room while watching Scandal (omg i can’t stop with that show): lots of free weights, squats & 10 mins of planks (with breaks but still happy about that!)
Wed, 11/11: i was off for Veteran’s Day (thank you to everyone who served/serves this country and keeps us safe!), so i ran a lovely 10-miler mid-day. glorious.
Thurs, 11/12 (i’m a day behind on this post so i’ll include today’s workout): 6-7am personal boot camp sesh in an entirely empty gym (love it): total body, including free weights, kettlebells, lots of lunges/squats/burpees/skaters, lateral & row machines, decline bench abs, & push-ups. this felt so good today.
total weekly mileage: 28.5
thoughts: i just want to run all the time, every day. forcing myself to do the total body workouts/weights is a bit of a struggle vs my desire to run as much as i can (while the weather is still so nice here), although i’m always glad i do them. i’m still on a post-marathon running high exactly one month later and am so thankful for that. 🙂

The struggle is real, sister. I want to run all day everyday but my body is like ummmm can you please stretch and strengthen me? I do feel like I get the strengthening from the pole classes which is good because I suck at lifting! You killed it this week. Rockstar status. Jealz of your 10 miler midday because you were off! Good for you for enjoying the day.
i know, it’s such an addiction, right? you’re amazing with those pole classes — i wish i could get my body to do that!
Comeeee to PA and we can go play on the poles!!!!
can I just say how much I admire your strength work?! That’s seriously a weakness of mine because of exactly what you said – I much prefer to run 🙂 But seriously I wish some of your strength training habits would just rub off on me. I only do it once a week and that’s because it’s part of my Orangetheory workouts lol
we should do a gym session one day after work!! let’s get ourselves together for realz. 🙂
That would be wonderful!! I know the holidays are coming up so we’ll prob be busy but typically I can be flexible for a Mon, Wed, or Fri 🙂
Me too. I just want to run. Exercising is always second choice and I just don’t do it
I’m excited. Bringing the hubby to the Big Apple on Sunday – high line & Lord of the Dance on Broadway.
Then on Dec 13, I’m coming back with her sisters. No plans. Will you be in town?
you’re down in NYC the most of anyone i know upstate! good for you. i know you love it here and being in the city with the hubs will be wonderful. Dec 13th wknd i should be around as of now – maybe we can link up!
I meant with Mrs E & her sisters – hope to see you again.
🙂
I sayyyy…RUN WHILE YOU CAN with the nicer weather. The cold death will be coming soon!
You’re obsessed! Run while you can cuz winter is a’comin 🙂
Your love for running is seriously contagious!
