Weekly Rundown- Hints of Fall!
Well, it was quite a week! I had a great long run, and also went up to Chicago to see my son! I’m linking up as always with Kim and Deborah for this Weekly Rundown. Let’s get right into it! Monday 4 mile run. The strap to my headlamp broke so now I have to hold it in my hand, sigh! Can’t wit till we turn the clocks back… Tuesday Since I’m a Cool Walking Blogger, I started the morning with a 2 mile walk. Finally seeing some Halloween decorations in my neighborhood… I followed this walk with the Caroline Girvan deadbug workout. Wednesday Long run! This run was really important, because last week I ended up bailing on my long run, so I really needed to complete this one. I’m happy to say I felt like a completely different person this week! Everything felt great- but the trail was REALLY overgrown in places. I ended with 12.5 miles and felt like I could have kept running forever… except for a weird feeling in my SI joint. Seriously? Does there ALWAYS have to be something wrong??? In the evening I did Adriene’s yoga for lower back pain. That felt good. Thursday My original plan was to do a leg day at the gym this morning, and run again at night (front loading workouts before my trip)… but my SI joint was saying “no” to that. Instead I walked 2 miles… …followed by upper body strength, and then Adriene’s low back yoga video again at night. Friday Travel day!!!!!!!! Lots and lots of walking- in the airport, and then I walked all around Evanston with my son. Fun day! Saturday 4 mile run! It wasn’t cold, but it was definitely cooler than Florida. This was a tough run because my sister’s neighborhood has HILLS. And then… SO MUCH WALKING. Again I walked all around Evanston with my son. More on the trip coming up soon- I had so much fun. Sunday Travel home (boo hoo!) The trip was a whirlwind, but we did a lot, so it seemed longer than two days. I get home in the afternoon and will do SOMETHING… yoga? a walk? upper body strength? We’ll see. How was your week? Have you ever been to Chicago?
