Weekly Rundown- In the Groove
When we left off last week, the Caroline Girvan Iron Series was absolutely kicking my ass- but this week I’ve settled into it. The workouts are still making me sore, but in a reasonable, not debilitating, way. Sprinkle in some runs and some yoga, and it was a good week! Thanks as always to Kim and Deborah for hosting the Weekly Rundown… here we go! Sunday Last week I switched around some of the Iron Series workouts, so today I had to go back and do Day #3, glutes. Oof! Monday In the morning I got out for a 3.5 mile run. Later on I did Adriene’s yoga for low back pain. Tuesday In the morning I did Adriene’s yoga for hip mobility, and later in the day I did Iron Series Day #4, which was a full body workout- this was intense! Wednesday In the morning I went to the gym, where I ran 3 miles on the treadmill and finished with some abs. I really outdid myself with the photo this time… Later on I did Adriene’s yoga for psoas. This was excellent- I need to do this one more often. Thursday In the morning I did yoga for low back pain. Now that I’m doing more strength training, my low back is acting up. I really need the yoga! Later in the day I did Iron Series Day #6- quads. Ouch. But I’m happy to say that that I’m all caught up and can continue the series in the correct order from now on. Friday In the morning- yoga for low back pain again. Later I did Iron Series #7, shoulders and triceps. Boy, are my triceps weak. And then… PROM! My daughter and her boyfriend went to prom! They left early to go take photos with some friends, but I insisted on getting some pictures in our yard first. Later, I was their chauffeur to and from an after party. Luckily (for me) the party got shut down at 1:30. They had fun- but not TOO MUCH fun if you know what I mean- and it could have been a much later night. I was lucky. Saturday Oof. Not surprisingly, I was tired but I had to go to work. After work, and a hefty nap, I got out for a 4 mile run. I’m starting to miss running longer distances! I listened to the latest episode of Sally McRae’s podcast and remembered how much fun it is to be training for a race. Hmmm…. Sunday On tap for today- Iron Series Day #8. I’m on a roll! Are you training for a race right now? If you went to your prom, was your color scheme black and purple? (Ha- probably not!)
