Feel Good and Week In Review – 9/23 – 9/29

Last week was a doozy full of activity!  I believe I was active every day last week including Saturday and Sunday.  That is a record for me and not necessarily something I want to make a habit.  Between running with my Pavement Warriors, working out with trainer and running races – I burned major calories and got it in on the pavement.  Have you ever had an unusually active fitness week?  What did you do and how did you mix it up?

Monday – 9/23

I workout with my personal trainer on Mondays and Tuesdays and it was a very good workout.  I am quite sore if I do say so myself.  LOL!  I just realized I did not write down the workout.  DOH!

Tuesday – 9/24

I hit the ground running with my Pavement Sisters and we did a GOOD job.  I felt good, energetic and could have kept running but hey – gotta get home to make the donuts.  We did do a different route which kept things interesting.  Good news – I HIT the green level in Nike+ Running app.  I was so elated about that!!!

Thursday – 9/26

Thursday my Pavement Sister and me met up and we did a nice 3-mile easy run up and down Lakeside to Painters Mill.  It felt good, I felt strong and she was great company.

Friday – 9/27

We were running deep on Friday.  I recorded my time in Strava because I accidentally stopped and ended my run using the Nike+ app.  DOH!  I have got to do better.IMG_1682

I also headed out to pick up my race bags for Saturday and Sunday.  I haven’t done this in SO long.  It was pretty exciting.

Saturday – 9/28

Sooo we wake up early to participate in the fun run and my daughter was not having it.  I was about to leave without her but she eventually got up and dressed at 7 am!  We hit the field around 7:15 am and waited for the Fun Run to begin at 8 am.  We were told it was going to be 1 mile but actually it was more like .25 of a mile!  Oh well!

Sunday – 9/29

I went to bed fairly early and made sure I had adequate rest.  I ran a 10K for Zero Prostate Cancer Run on Sunday starting at 8;30 am and I was nervous yet excited.

Laid out my clothes the night before to make sure I was ready.

Received a hug from my little sweetie pie after the race was over. He loved being on the football field.

  • What Are You Training For? October 19, 2013 (6:32 pm)

    […] since 2005 I even paid to run.  I mean, I actually paid an entry fee to get out there and run the Prostate Cancer 10K a few weeks […]
