Sick Kid(s)

Week-beginning:

Let's see what happens this week...

Monday

Did: nada

Busier day at work than expected. Sick kid.

Tuesday

Did: 6.3mi @ 9:52/mi avg

Looong day at work, but fastest 10KT in nearly a year. Grateful.

Sick kid.

Wed

Did: LIIFT4 W5D2

Sick kid, in-laws arrived.

Thurs

Did: family 5K with oldest :D, LIIFT4W5D1

Grateful for having our oldest finally participate on their own two feet in our family Thanksgiving race tradition :D I ran alongside the whole time, and we finished in 37:03.

Since I only jogged the race, I did some more lifting at home, and we also did a walk to the neighborhood playground. 

Baby is still sick. SIgh

Friday

Did: 5.36mi stroller walk, 30min yoga

Sick baby = home and walking in the stroller. I didn't feel super hot, and stuck to yoga instead of a HIIT workout.

Saturday

Did: 8.1mi @ 10:16/mi avg

Felt a little tired, but wanted to get out. A "good" overnight recharge encouraged me to go for it, but I opted to stick with 8 instead of pushing to 10. This was a good call, as I ended up napping later in the day. Baby still sick. 

Sunday

Did: LIIFT4 W5D3

Wanted to go for a run, but it didn't make sense iwth our schedule today. Stuck with a LIIFT workout and spent a good bit of time outside hanging holiday lights. 

Weekly Mileage: 17.9

Week-end Thoughts:

Meh? 

Pre-Thanksgiving

 Week-beginning:

I wrote a training plan for myself this weekend. It's basically an easy-runs-one/mileage-building plan, but I'm happy to have a sense of progress/accomplishment back in my life.  

Monday

Did: nada

 

Tuesday

Did: LIIFT4 W4D3, 6.26mi @ 10:29/mi avg

No internet, so I just did the lifting part of the shoulders workout, and then enjoyed another 10KT with the girls. So happy to finally start feeling like myself again

Wed

Did: nada

Well, I planned on working out today, but had too much work to do on my "off day" to actually do it. 

Thurs

Did: nada

Felt a little off, and heard about a friend who I was with Sunday testing positive for COVID, so I kept it chill and didn't workout.

Friday

Did: three deadlines at work

No workout again today, but feeling better and will run tomorrow

Saturday

Did: 8.05 @ 10:04/mi avg, 30min yoga

I felt a little tired this morning, but got up and out anyways. I love running in 30 degrees and no wind at 5am. :) My calf bugged me a bit during the run, and my left hip was weird in later miles, but I think all that can be chalked up to the cold. 

Enjoyed a yoga session during little one's naptime where I focused on hamstrings. Ahhh, yeah. 

Sunday

Did: 3.13mi @ 10:06/mi avg with stroller, LIIFT4 W4D4

Great run with my littlest in the stroller after a HIIT leg workout :) 

Weekly Mileage: 17.4

Week-end Thoughts:

Not bad for a week where I felt sick for a good part, and my kids were also under the weather. 

Really proud/happy to have hit my longest run since COVID.

November

Um... this is getting written a week and a half later, so... yeah.

Planned on 6, but ended up going further 'cause I felt great :)

Sunday

Did: 3.51mi @ 10:46/mi avg, 2/1 intervals

Felt a bit tired in the morning, and didn't wanna run in "feels like 24", so I pushed this to the afternoon. Still wasn't feeling like pushing at all, so I let myself enjoy some intervals. . 

Weekly Mileage: 20.0

Let's call it a comeback. 

Chicago Week

Tuesday

Did: 3x1.5mi walks in airport, around town in Chicago

Wed

Summit Run Club through Grant Park. I was a little nervous about running faster than I had before, but enjoyed being back with friends on familiar paths. 

Thurs

Did: 5.18mi @ 10:46/mi avg

Slower run with a different group, but I didn't feel like I wanted to go any faster. 

Friday

Did: 3.45mi @ 10:20/mi avg

Felt a bit sick today (exhausted), but napped in the afternoon and felt okay enough by evening. 

Sunday

Family pictures in the morning = didn't want to do anything that would require a heavy shower. Yoga pre-photos, and then a HIIT workout for my legs in the afternoon/evening.

Week-end Thoughts:

SO happy to have been able to run so many days back-to-back this week on top of full conference proceedings and travel. I think I'm healed :D
