Weekly Rundown- Just a Regular Week
Helloooo! Thanks for stopping by for the Weekly Rundown, hosted as always by Kim and Deborah. This week felt a little blah with no long run. The most exciting thing that happened was my son and his fiancee have set a date for the wedding- July 25. GAHHH! It’s real! I mean, it was always real, but now it feels real-er. Anyway, let’s just see how the week played out, fitness-wise. Monday In the morning I did my hip stability exercises, and later in the day got out for a 4 mile run. Tuesday I started the day with Caroline Girvan’s stellar abs workout. The plan was to then do an upper body strength session, but I was nursing a sore wrist (occupational hazard.) I quickly realized that picking up dumbbells was a bad idea, so I let it rest for the day. Wednesday Long cardio day at the gym! I did 30 minutes on the bike, 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then an hour running on the treadmill. Last time, Deborah asked why I do the run last. I’m trying to replicate the feeling of running on tired legs, which I will for sure be doing in my race! Mission accomplished.` Thursday Hip stability exercises, lower body strength, and Caroline Girvan tucked abs workout. Friday My wrist is still sore, but I have to do SOMETHING for my upper body, so I don’t end up looking like a T-Rex. I was able to do a little lifting without straining anything- hopefully enough to at least keep me from getting any weaker. Later in the day, a 4 mile run. Saturday Another day where I slept as late as possible before going to work, with a planned run later in the day. Except that in the afternoon it was 87 degrees, super humid and with scattered thunderstorms. Fantastic- I guess it’s summer now. I took myself to the gym, where I ran 4 miles on the treadmill. Sunday On tap for today… YOGA (whatever happened to that, anyway? I need it!) Next week will be my LAST LONG RUN before my race (eek!) My main goal right now is to keep myself healthy and whole. How was your week? Do you wish it were 87 degrees and humid where you are? (GRR!)
