Holy Crap its the last day of November!!!!
Monday- training session with weights
Tuesday- bike
Wednesday-off
Thursday- training session in the pool
Friday – off
Saturday- run 2 miles
Sunday- run 3 miles
This is my optimistic plan. I have been hit with a narley cold. Surgery knocked my immune system down so i am catching everything, which super sucks, but this too shall pass.
What does your workout plan look like this week?
2 days until Thanksgiving!!!
Sunday morning i made cinnamon rolls and when i say made i mean i opened the package and put them in the oven Hahahahaha. Artemis and i tried for another run, i made sure she pooped right before we left and this time we got about 7 minutes into the walk until she pooped again. My mom made a good point that she might be nervous in the new area causing her to go more. We will keep trying.
Sunday night i hoped on the treadmill and did my first run post surgery…..2 whole miles!!! And holy crap was it hard. A month off running is a looooong time to the body.
Very hard work.
But its a step in the right direction!!!!
Blue Apron meal #2 this week.
I still love the preportioned awesomeness.
I may have been drinking some hot chocolate while cooking.
Once again i tweaked it a little. I cooked some of the onions which was not part of the recipe.
Sadly i missed my training appt tonight. I took the dogs out, ate half a bagel, locked the door handle and walked out the door…….literally 3 steps later i realized my keys were still on the hook after i had slammed the locked door shut. I sat in the 38degree weather in workout for about 40 minutes then my toes were burning which is not good, neither of my roommates had answered so i did a quick walk the .75 miles to a nearby subway where i bought dinner (i did have my purse thankfully). My roommate came and picked me up.
I continued the cardio kick and hopped on the recumbent bike in the bonus room for 35 minutes then watched some amazing race. An oddly slow yet busy night.
Being locked out in the freezing rain oddly made me miss the trail. I know i would have spent many days like that on the trail.
How was your Sunday and Monday?
Have you ever locked yourself out? How did you get back inside?
Happy Friday!!!!
Are you looking forward to the weekend, because i am !!!!!! I dont have any amazing plans or anything, i am going for my first short run tomorrow with my doggie, hopefully she doesn’t trip me. Then i am helping my friend pack. The boyfriend and i are hopefully having dinner together on Saturday (his work is crazy so i never know fo sure until the night of), then Sunday is just me and Artemis hanging out.
Made a delicious Blue Apron meal, Lentil Bolognase (probably not the right spelling) It is flipping delicious!!! I had it for lunch yesterday and today, I also have a full serving in the freezer and like a half a serving in the fridge to snack on this weekend!
I added some extra noodles i had to make a little more.
I was really impressed with this meal. I will definitely be making this one again.
So stoked to have 3 workouts in the bag so far this week!!!! VERY happy to be back in workout mode, though i am starting slow and building back up.
Look for tomorrows post about Artemis’ and I’s first run together and Blue Apron Cheeseburgers!!!!!
What are you weekend plans?
What is the last workout you did?
Hi!!!! The weekend has arrived!!!
It was a long day, i broke down and got skittles, this is how i eat them. A small handful at a time and i sort each handful by color/flavor.
When i got home i did a bit of spanish.
I got some amazon deliveries.
I am listening to this right now while i read. It is natural sounds like the ocean, a steady rain, birds in the rainforest etc.
I got these for meditations but they are also just super peaceful.
Got this for my studying.
And this is what i am currently reading so look for a book review on it in a few weeks.
I know, it sounds like a seriously exciting night? How do i keep up with this hard partying at my age, well years of practice lol.
I have decided that i will adopt mama (the dog). My roommate has conveyed this to the owner and now we wait. But she now feels like my fur baby and i want her with me asap!!!! I will keep too posted.
What did your Friday night consist of?
Workouts?
Ooooooh i am stoked i made my first post surgery training appt!!!! Monday November 16th i will be working out upper body. I can’t wait!!!!
And i cant wait until mama and i can get out and do some runs/walks together!
Hi!!!!!
So on Saturday i ran the Shoc 5K to support ovarian cancer research.
We started and ended at the Gladstone Harley dealer! Thank you Harley Davidson!
The route was really nice, went through some foresty, shaded areas.
There were 2 water stations on the 5k which was really nice but i wish they had spread them farther apart, i was dying for 2 miles then got two water stations in the last mile.
Other than that i liked it.
We got breakfast afterwards! Pancakes, eggs and sausage. There were also bagels and bananas and coffee and water.
Crossing the finish line!!! I ran it in 44:46, which was a 14:28/mile average. That is by no means fast but i am happy with it.
I really liked that not long after i crossed the finish line i got text telling me my time. That was awesome!
Also got an email with a finishers certificate. Personally i reallt liked that.
I’ll be rocking my race shirt at work on Monday 😄
Overall i enjoyed the race, i could tell it was a little bit of a lower budget/smaller operation but i still really enjoyed it. I think I’ll be back next year!!!
Oooh and i got one of the sponsors to evaluate my running gait and tell me i had good shoes for my running! Yay!!!
Happy Monday!!!!!
