This has been a pretty good week in terms of working out and meeting my training goals.
Wednesday: 4 mile run
Thursday: 3 mile run with A
Friday: 30 Day Shred, Level 1
Saturday: off
Sunday: 7 mile run
Monday: Yoga - Vinyasa Class
Tuesday: 2.5 mile run with A
5 mile bike ride (to campus and back)
I was really proud of myself for getting through my 7 mile run on Sunday since I felt like crap from the moment I woke up until about two hours before I went to bed. I ran with A twice since my last Workout Wednesday post, which is awesome! I'll definitely miss having someone to run with once or twice a week.
It was super hot and humid yesterday when we went, though, and I felt like we were being broiled alive. Not pleasant. I'm taking today off since it's supposed to be 100 degrees today. I grew up in Texas, but after twelve years of living elsewhere I'm definitely not acclimated to training in quite this level of heat and humidity.
Hopefully, the day off will give me fresh legs for 8 miles tomorrow. I had to move my long run* because on Friday we leave for Italy and I'm sure I'll be jetlagged when we arrive on Saturday. My plan is to just do three or four 3-4 milers while we're there.
What was your best workout of the week? What are your strategies for running while traveling?
*It seems a little weird to call 8 miles a long run since I've run a marathon in the past, but for now, for me it is a long run.
Sounds like a great week! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Abbi!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've gotten in a lot of great workouts. I enjoy working out on vacation - it gives me energy to go out and see everything there is in the town! I also think running through a new city is a great way to see it.
ReplyDeleteI hope it cools down for you so you can get your 8mile run in tomorrow!
VERY impressive week! I've just been "shredding" this week---hoping to try out level 2 tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteElena, I'm frightened of Level 2. Let me know how it goes.
I think that your runs this week look pretty impressive! Nice work on getting out there even when you are not feeling the best. I hope that your 8 miler went well:)
