What i did right:……recovered when sick
What i could have done better: Not gotten sick lol
Food: Medium, not horrible but not great
Comment and tell me how you did!
Happy Hump Day!!!!!!
I got up and went to an AM spinning class, being active feels so good and keeps any stress and depression away. It was very obvious that I hadn’t taken a spin class in awhile……I wanted to die.
I went at about 75% of my max and was still dead at the end
Need to get my butt to spin class more often.
Stopped at the store to pickup a prescription and grabbed some much needed broke people food
Actually I just like to have stock on hand for when a craving hits or I don’t feel too good. I’m not broke yet thankfully.
Lots of laundry going on
A short but powerful thunderstorm hit and the puppies freaked out. I got some cuddles
I had great (but unhealthy) leftovers for lunch
My man took me out for a sorry you got fired, but yay you can sleep in dinner hahahaha!!! I love Mexican food.
Time to check in and see if i made it to all my workouts. Comments will be in bold.
Here was the plan:
Monday: Insanity Day 1 Did not happen, I came home and just wanted to cuddle with my dog.
Tuesday: PM Strength training and 1 mile fast (for me lol) 12 min mile pace then .1 mile hills x 6 at a 2 incline DONE!!!! Though it was 5 hills instead of 6 because i felt good and did the last hill as .2 miles instead of .1. It felt good, i wasn’t dead after which is awesome progress.
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: PM Strenght training and 2.5 miles at tempo (12:30, see i told you i am slow) did not happen, took the day off
Friday: OFF actually ran 1.5 miles before heading to the beach
Saturday: Am Spin class followed by 450m swim ran 1.5 miles on the beach and hiked up a giant sand dune
Sunday: 5 miles slow and yoga ran/walked 2.5 miles all over the beach and up a giant sand dune
How i did: i feel ok with how i did but it could have been better
What i could have done better: not skipped Mondays workout
How was my food consumption: ugh not bad but not great. Ate out Thursday through Sunday
Comment and let me know how your workouts went this week.
Hi!!!
This is a very late post but here is my review for the Portland Run like Hell 5k.
Costumes were optional but the majority of people dressed up which made it so much fun!
My roommate and i dressed up as Batman and Robin.
Check in and packet pickup was pretty effortless for this race, it was very well organized. They had a small bag drop as well which was much appreciated becuase it was a little chilly and i had not bought a throw away jacket. They also provided some small snacks and water before the race which i was thankful for. There were a lot of porta poties, all clean, so very few lines.
The race itself was super fun, it ran through downtown Portland and was well maintained and coordened off. At about 2 miles they had an aid station which had water, some kind of electrolyte drink and were offering energy gels also if wanted, i split one with my roommate so we could make it through and speed up at the end.
After the race they had beer of course but they also had CIDER!!!
That made me happy and i was tipsy after 1.5 ciders, dont worry i wasn’t driving. They also were handing out chips, and peanut butter toast, and Cliff Bars. They were well stocked.
All in all our little group (there were 5 of us) had a blast!!! We all signed up for the Bridge to Brews 10k so we will see you in April!!!
Carra, my roommate, purchesed the medal to commemorate her first 5k!
Also even though i felt great and wasn’t really trying, i PR’d by about 20 seconds!!! Yay for training.
Here are a few of my stats.
Check out that hear rate! woot woot!
