Weekly Rundown- Not My Finest Moments
Hey there! It’s time for the Weekly Rundown (and Day #3 of MayBloPoMo!) I didn’t have a stellar week of workouts, but at least I have a lot of excuses. Read on to hear them all! Thanks as always to Kim and Deborah for hosting. Monday The day started off with yoga- Adriene’s morning hip mobility. After work I went to the gym to run on the treadmill… but let’s back up a couple days. On Saturday I did an Iron Series leg workout, which was pretty much all lunges. On this run, I felt those lunges in my left knee- it didn’t exactly hurt, and I completed 4 miles, but it was weirdly stiff. I didn’t like that ONE BIT. Tuesday In the morning I did Adriene’s yoga for psoas. Later in the day I had Iron Series Day #13, posterior chain. My knee was still not right, but I figured a workout for back, glutes and hamstring wouldn’t bother it too much, and I was right. Wednesday In the morning, a 4 mile run. I knew Thursday was going to be a crazy day, so I decided to do the next Iron Series workout today- except it was a full body workout, and I was sore from yesterday. I decided to skip ahead one day, to day #15- shoulders. In Caroline’s words, this one was a “sizzler”. But at least it sizzled my shoulders and not my knee. Thursday Here’s where the week started to fall apart. I did yoga for low back pain in the morning, and then, because of a jazz band concert and emergency dress shopping trip (long story- not for me, for my daughter) I did nothing else all day. Friday This was a tough day with lots of teen drama. I finally got out for a 4 mile run in the early evening. It was definitely a stress-reliever! Saturday Ugh. I had a horrible night’s sleep, but I also had a PLAN. Work, nap, and then an Iron Series workout… except that when I lay down for my nap, I slept through my alarm. My husband came in to wake me up 20 minutes before we had to leave for dinner with friends. FAIL! Missing that workout did not feel good, but I drowned my sorrows with a couple of these: Sunday Okay. Let’s get back on track! The plan for today is the full body Iron Series workout that I skipped earlier in the week. Next week will be better! How was your week? Any workout fails, or were you consistent? Top photo by Matthias Oberholzer on Unsplash
