Thurs, 11/19: 5 mile run
Fri, 11/20: i think i rested but i honestly can’t really remember. i went out Thursday night to a work event, so probably rested. let’s go with that.
Sat, 11/21: 11 mile run; 4 minutes of planks; all the stretching. felt sooooo good.
Sun, 11/22: 6 mile early run (before spending the day with my BFF!)
Mon, 11/23: rest. drank a lil too much wine Sunday night while watching Scandal in bed and couldn’t get up. whoops.
Tues, 11/24: hour + of total body workout: kettlebells, free weights, back machines, planks, inclines, all sorts of lunges/squat jumps etc. really good workout (from which i’m quite sore today…that oh-so-good sore!).
Wed, 11/25 (today): 3.5 mile treadmill run; 5 minutes of planks. hips are so sore from yesterday.
total weekly mileage: 25.5. more than last week, thanks to the 11-miler.
thoughts: i really don’t want to give in and run on the treadmill much this winter. this morning’s quick run wasn’t the worst, but i just don’t feel like i’m getting as good of a workout on a treadmill (or enjoying it as much), so i need to better prepare myself for the cold-and-dark run combo that will be my winter running life. overall, i feel like i had a good run week, but wish i hadn’t taken Friday off from working out. aka, going out on a weeknight is not in my life plan anymore. 🙂
on a totally different note…Happy Thanksgiving Eve, my lovely friends.
anyone running a Turkey Trot tomorrow? the boyfriend & i are doing the Troy Turkey Trot 10K together bright-n-early, so i’m really looking forward to that. i swear i didn’t choose him just b/c he likes to run with me… 😉
travel safe, be healthy & stay thankful, friends. ❤
What are your Thanksgiving plans?
Anyone else turkey trotting? Where at?
For what are you thankful this year?
Great job this week! I try to avoid the treadmill, too. I am not trotting this year – I am really giving my calf a rest!
Good luck on the turkey trot! My Thanksgiving plans are spending time with my family on Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner, then putting up my parents’ Christmas tree the next day.
Have a great turkey trot! I love that you had too much wine in bed and opted out of a workout. That, my friend, is my kind of balance!
BOYFRAAANNN!!! YUUSS! You’re probably running as I write this, but I am currently sipping coffee, waiting for my morning movements to ensure carefree running for my 10K in 2 hours.
haha you crack me up…and i definitely understand that. 🙂
Oh you should have told me. I would have looked for you. I was there!!
i know, i wish we’d known!
