Weekly Rundown
What a week- it was a whirlwind! My son was home, which made it feel like one long party. A party where I had to cook, clean, and, oh yes, go to work. Let’s just say workouts weren’t the main focus of the week- but I did have some nice runs! Thanks as always to Kim and Deborah for hosting the Weekly Rundown. Let’s just see how it all played out… Monday The week started out with a 3 mile run in BEAUTIFUL weather. Remember the rib injury? It’s so much better. When I’m running, the pain is more of a nuisance now than a limiting factor. But I still can’t find any core work I can comfortably do, which is a bummer. Still- I’m definitely getting there. Tuesday Leg day at home! Since I only had my dumbbells and not the heavier weights I use at the gym, I did a lot of single leg moves, like Bulgarian split squats. I haven’t done those in a while, and it was hard! Wednesday 3 mile run. Somehow I neglected to get a photo??? I don’t know how that happened, but my mind was probably elsewhere. We did a lot of cooking on this day, AND decorated our Christmas tree! Thursday Happy Thanksgiving! I started the day with a lovely 5 mile run. The rest of the day was all about cooking, eating, and watching football (OMG BEARS! Ugh, Dolphins.) It was a really, really nice day. Friday Day off. It was Black Friday, and the rest of my family spent the day at home, lounging around and eating leftovers while I went to work. I wanted a treat, so I slept in a little and then went to Starbucks before heading to work. I thought I would do some strength work later on, but that was clearly a ridiculous notion, because at night we had… …the high school football game! It was the regional championship game and we WON! Next week… state semi-finals. How exciting! Saturday Okay, seriously. Time to get back to real life. 4 mile run before work. It felt good and I even threw in some speed work. I KNOW! I’m tempting fate, but I have to do something- I’m tired of being the tortoise. Sunday Usually Sunday is my day off, but I’d like to do some upper body strength since that was completely lacking this week. I also have to get our outdoor Christmas lights up! My rib is better just in time- two weeks ago I couldn’t even imagine standing on a ladder and reaching above my head. How was your week? Were you able to focus on workouts, or were you distracted? If you decorate for Christmas- are your outdoor lights up?
