Solid Week

Week-Beginning Thoughts:
bit overwhelmed with all the different potential priorities... 

Monday
Did: LIIFTMore Chest/Back

Tuesday

Did: 6.3mi @ 9:26/mi avg, 1.6mi walk with SOA

Wednesday

Did: 6.0mi @ 9:14/mi avg, 30min arm workout, 10min yoga

What a beautiful view.

Thursday

Did: WU, 4x200/200, 4min recovery, 4x200/200, CD = 5.55mi @ 9:32/mi avg

This was the perfect return to the track workout. 200s are short enough to push, but not quite to the "make it hurt" phase when you're not pushing super hard. 

46.8

49.9

48.4

47.3

47.3
49.5
47.5

Proud of this one. 

Friday

Did: 1mi walk, worrrrrrk

Saturday

Did: 11.15mi @ 9:52/mi avg
Early pre-dawn run near the river was absolute serenity. We had plans for "10-12", and I opted to cut when we got back to the cars to give myself a little more time before dashing off to another event. 

Sunday

Did: LIIFTMore Shoulders, Back/Chest + 4.07mi @ 8:56/mi avg in the rain
Lazy morning, but I made things happen and feel good about what I got done. Now I'm enjoying chilling out in joggers and a pullover with a cup of hot tea. :)

Total Weekly Mileage: 33.07

Week-Ending Thoughts:
Not bad for a week with 2-3 days of feeling "off", but hoping to not be such a "weekend warrior" this coming week. 

Spring Break

Week-Beginning Thoughts:
Single-parenting week :)

Monday
Did: 4.05mi @ 9:25/mi avg, 2mi walk, LIIFTMore

Tuesday

Did: 3.28mi on treadmill @ 9:21/mi avg, 1mi walk, chorus
Did NOT feel like running today, but proud I made SOMETHING happen

Wednesday

Did: 2.0mi @ 9:02/mi avg + 8.05mi @ 9:22/mi avg = 10.05mi @ 9:18/mi avg
Wanted a double digit run today, and made it happen in pieces. :D

Thursday

Did: LIIFTMore Legs, 1mi treadmill walk, some hiking with kiddo

Felt a weird Achilles soreness on the treadmill walk? 

Friday

Did: 4.04mi with stroller @ 9:05/mi avg

Achilles didn't bother me enough to not run with my baby at the river. I was surprised how fast I was running with a stroller in 10mph winds too. 

Saturday

Did: 7.52mi @ 9:53/mi avg

I cut this 10mi run off a bit early since my ankle felt a bit tight. Figured it was better to have a slightly sore Achilles than an inflamed and painful one. 

Sunday

Did: 1.06mi @ 9:29/mi avg + LIIFTMore arms and core

Achilles is still a little sore, but only when I'm trying to pay attention to it. Got a single easy mile in to enjoy weather, but today was mostly about lifting. I'm pretty proud to have advanced from 2lb on some exercises up to 10lb within the past few months :D

Total Weekly Mileage: 30

Week-Ending Thoughts:
Is this what my life as a SAHM could look like? 'cause it's pretty amazing...besides the whole "money is only going OUT of our bank account" thing. lol

Friday

I kinda thought about doing something, but didn't feel like going out in the cold alone. I think I might've lifted a bit in the morning? Maybe? 

Saturday

Did: 9.5mi @ 9:45/mi avg

Wanted ten, but didn't have the time.

Sunday

Did: 6.38mi with stroller @ 9:58/mi avg

Explored a new local soft-surface 5K park loop. It might've been great for just running, but the softer surface just made pushing a stroller harder :P
