My great week of running consisted of:
Monday - 3 miles + barre
Tuesday - 2.5 miles in 96 degree heat - 80s night with Lifetime Run! + barre
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - 3.1 miles outside
Friday - barre
Saturday - rest
Sunday - Too Hot To Handle 15k (Race Recap later this week) + barre
That's right...as much as I love the treadmill, there was NO treadmill running again this week. I am almost thinking I might do my *really* long runs outside again. It was really run running around White Rock Lake again and I forgot what a nice oasis in the middle of the city it is.
So this week (potentially week two of marathon training) will consist of:
3 easy runs during the week + 9 miles this weekend
This week and last week have been so busy...my class taking up a HUGE part of my time. I've really had to rearrange priorities. Louis spent this past weekend back with his dad and while thinking it was a "free" weekend, it was far from it. 15+ hours of "awake" time were spent on a professional paper on asthma, something I thought would be "easy" since asthma is basically a huge part of my job. Notsomuch. The amount of detail and frustration were found in equal parts. While I would have loved to run and go to barre on Saturday, I chose rest and academics instead.
This week, family comes first. Louis is here for the entire week - YAY! - and we are trying to nail down a venue for our destination wedding. With so many good choices, we finally made a decision, I think?
So that's the weekly chase! Happy running!
96 degree heat... how do you do it? I think I would of passed out! 80's night looked way fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset pic... was that from Hawaii?
I didn't really do the 96 degrees very well. It was pretty pathetic in fact. I gave up at 2.5 miles and walked the rest of the way. It's something you just kind of have to acclimate to.
DeleteI didn't take the sunset picture...I kind of took it from Pinterest! lol. Supposedly, it's from Play del Carmen, Mexico.
I get it about the heat...I have moved my weekday runs to half-past sunset to beat the worst of it, and my weekend runs (when I get to do them, with my crazy work schedule lately) start before dawn; so glad a friend gave me an awesome Petzl headlamp :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quote you shared about priorities - so hard to remember just who is in charge of our lives...US or THEM? Thank you for keeping it real!
Ugh.. I totally feel you on the heat.. Living in FL. It has been hot and raining every afternoon, makes my runs muggy. You didn't give up, walking is still good!!!
