Weekly Rundown- It Was Gym-tastic
Is it just me, or did this week seem super long? Was the Super Bowl only a week ago??? Anyway… I’m linking up as always with Kim and Deborah for this Weekly Rundown. Here we go… Sunday Yes! I did it- finally went to the gym. I went to my NEW gym, where I did a hard leg day, including squats at the squat rack. I like my new gym! Monday A 4 mile run to start the day… … and then I had another appointment with my chiropractor before work. He’s still working on my low back, glutes and hamstrings. Have I mentioned I have a race this weekend? Everything has to be in tip top shape! Tuesday In the morning I walked for 2 miles, and then did Caroline Girvan’s 4×4 Lower Abs Workout. Then… in the afternoon I went to the gym again! My daughter and her friend went after school, and I was slated to pick them up. But if I’m going to the gym, I might as well work out, right? I did a back workout (rows, reverse fly, etc.) and abs. Wednesday I went to the gym AGAIN! What in the world is going on? Well, I decided to give my hamstring a break, and instead of running I did this for 40 long minutes… … and then a glute focused workout (at the suggestion of my chiropractor.) I did the glute push machine and one leg glute bridges. Later in the day I had another adjustment and ART treatment for my hamstring. Thursday Another 2 mile walk, and I thought of Kim when I saw the full moon. I followed this with the same Caroline Girvan abs workout (4×4 Lower Abs.) Friday 4 mile run! Saturday After work, I went to the gym with my daughter. Like, her friend couldn’t go so she ASKED TO GO WITH ME. She even asked for advice on her form for squats and RDLs (so it seems I’m not a complete and utter idiot, as previously thought???) I didn’t want to tire out my legs, so I spent most of the time on arms and abs. And then… I drove down to Ft. Lauderdale to pick up two very special race packets… Sunday On tap- half marathon with DARLENE!!! It’s going to be a hot one, but the race starts at 5:50 so we’ll escape the worst of the heat. And… Full disclosure- I wish my hamstring felt a little better than it does. It’s not perfect, but I’m running this race anyway! And I’m planning to add on a few miles before the race to make it a long run (what could possibly go wrong???) Race recap to come! Did this week seem extra long to you? Can you believe it’s going to be 86 degrees today here? – “Perfect” race weather!
