Weekly Rundown- Happiness.
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Weekly Rundown, hosted by Kim and Deborah. It’s also Day 21 of NaBloPoMo, hosted by San. It was an exciting week, filled with the anticipation of Thanksgiving and of course the main event, my son’t arrival home from college. I ran four times, and while the mileage was low, I appreciated every single run. Any running is better than no running! And I continued with my month of yoga, doing a Peloton class every day with Denis Morton. Here’s how the week went! Monday Started the week with a 45 minute power yoga class. Tuesday Three mile run in the morning. I’m loving these bright mornings! Later in the day, did a 20 minute power yoga class. Wednesday 45 minute power yoga class in the morning. This was a great class- lots of side planks and half moon poses (hello, glute medius!) Thursday Started the day with a three mile run. 20 minute power yoga class after work. Friday A quick 2.25 mile run in the morning. After work I did a 30 minute power yoga class. Saturday I noticed two things this morning… one was that instead of mixing it up, I had done a power yoga class every day so far this week. The other was that my left hip flexor was slightly… wonky. Not injured! But I could just feel it, and I think it’s from yoga. I did a 30 minute slow flow class for a change. I also felt like I needed something slower because it was an eventful day! After yoga I went to work, and after work got together with friends we haven’t seen in almost a year. AND THEN!!! My son came home!!! He’s home!!! Hugging him was the best feeling in the whole world. He didn’t get in until 9 pm, and then we stayed up late talking. Happiness. Sunday Got up early and did a five mile run before the kids got up. This was the first Sunday in quite a while where I wasn’t sad not to be doing a long run- five miles was just fine. After all the great runs I had this week, this one was a slog. I felt like I was running through molasses, and I also felt my hip flexor. Eep. For that reason, along with the cheesecake revelation, I decided to change up my yoga class. I had planned a hamstring focus but instead did a 20 minute arm focus flow. I think it was a good decision! And now…. off to make waffles! I absolutely love the week of Thanksgiving, and having my son home is an enormous treat. Are you getting excited for Thanksgiving? Anyone else have kids coming home this week?
