I ran just over 90k last week, with one speed workout. I wanted to do intervals, but working a little late led to a tempo run just to get over to the back cove on time, and I wouldn’t have gotten a good interval session after that. Instead, I just continued the tempo and turned it into 7-8 miles at tempo pace in the middle of 13 miles or so total.
This week I’m going to focus on mileage. I’ve already put in a 27k run this morning (somewhere between 16-17 miles) so I probably will not want to do intervals Wednesday night. I’ll see how I feel; if I opt to take it relatively easy then I’ll run a fartlek at lunch time on Thursday and then get another run in that afternoon with the group I coach.
Not eating carbs is not going so well. I LOVE my carbs! I’m earning more activity points each week, but I seem to be plateauing. Ugh. I think my goal this week is just to stay within my points limit, and earn at least 28 activity points.
Last week I managed to walk for an hour two days! This week, I hope to be able to walk for an hour three days.
I missed a day last week because, uh, I forgot just one shoe when I went to the gym. But I made up for it with an extra ab workout.
Here’s this week’s set of goals:
Monday: Elliptical and arm workout. (Dread! Woe! Arm workout! No!)
Tuesday: Elliptical and walk with boys in evening.
Wednesday: Elliptical and ab workout. (Dread! Woe! Ab workout! No!)
Thursday: Elliptical and arm workout.
Friday: Elliptical and walk with boys in evening. Refuse ice cream for self.
Saturday: Elliptical. Yoga after kids go to bed.
Sunday: Take a nap! Relax! Something!
Also: watch my useless calorie intake. Oof on one of those days last week. Ugh.
did all my runs, even 10 on saturday. iced foot a whole bunch, some days good some days bad. didn’t do any strength training. did run with my new orthotics.
this week
run 4 today, 6 wed, 4 thurs, 11 saturday. i am going to try and get to a PT for my foot.
I’m walking 30 mins every morning. Doing the pushup challenge. Lunges- 3 sets of 15 reps each 3 x’s week. I’m going to keep a food journal regardless the food choices I make good or bad. I’m really wanting to work on my water intake and completely 100% getting off sodas.
I accomplished all the goals I set for myself last week. That felt great and I feel good but tired after 3 spin classes in a row. Hope everyone had/has a great week.
Congrats Anita!
Sorry I’m a little behind. I did not meet my goal last week, but my goal for this week was to get up early & do 2 days of Pilates & 2 days of walk/running before getting ready for work. All I’m going to say is so far, so good!
Oh yeah, thanks for the prize! I recieved it just a few days ago-can’t wait to break into it. Thanks again!
This website is so inspiring. I read all of your goals and it makes me want to get off my butt and start moving again. I was a very motivated and fit person until I hit a bump in the road financially. I’m tired of feeling down and I know that now is my time. This week I will drink at least 64oz of water. I will take kickboxing classes M,W,F, Sat and do the elliptical on T and Th. Wish me luck!!!
