Weekly Rundown- Getting There
Hooray! After two weeks of feeling pretty horrible, I finally started to feel like my old self this week. I wasn’t exactly killing it in my workouts, but the spark is starting to come back. Thanks as always to Kim and Deborah for hosting the Weekly Rundown! Here we go… Sunday Since I missed so much work while I was sick, I decided to work on Sunday. I knew I was feeling better when I opted to get up early and run outside- 3 hot miles before work. Monday “Never miss a Monday” is NOT one of my mottos! It had been a week since I had a day off, so this was a rest day. Tuesday Leg day at the gym! I did my usual squats, glute press machine, and added hip thrusts to the mix. I ended this with core and side planks with leg lifts. Wednesday 4 lovely air conditioned miles on the treadmill at the gym! I ended this run with some core work. Thursday In the morning I did the Caroline Girvan dead bug workout, and after work I went to the gym for upper body. Bench press, overhead press, rows, and reverse flys. I really pushed myself, working to failure on most exercises (not benchpress, obviously- I’m not getting pinned under the bar!) Friday 4 miles on the treadmill- and I added some tempo intervals! Trying to figure out my tempo pace was pretty challenging- I can’t say I nailed it, but it was a start- the start of my “summer of speed”??? I followed the run with some core, and side planks with leg lifts. Saturday Core, and hip stability exercises. Wow, those are boring- but I need them. I feel like my hips are getting stronger! Sunday On tap- “long” run outside! I’m planning 5 miles, and I’m bringing icy cold water in my hydration vest. I’ll get out nice and early and hopefully the heat won’t kill me. How was your week? Were most of your workouts inside or outside? Top photo by luca dorata on Unsplash
