Hi guys…how’s it going? Today is my first official day of vacation and I am going to soak it up as best I can! I have a lot on my “to do” list like sweeping and steam cleaning all the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, getting my oil changed, etc but I am building in some time for fun, like going to see a movie, getting some holiday shopping done, and playing with Ashton. I’m going to make the best of this week off…so while I’m kicking off the new week, let’s take a look at how last week played out!
Week: 11/17-11/23
Monday: I ran 3 miles in 24:40 (8:13 pace) and then did some planks, it felt good to run again after taking a full week off. I do think I need to get new running shoes though, so that is on my to do list this week while I’m on vacation!
Tuesday: I was a bit tight when I woke up, mainly in my right IT band but I got in 3 decent miles in 25 flat (8:20 pace) while listening to by BRF Taylor Swift. I am really loving her new album. I have no shame–whatever Taylor is selling, I am buying!
Wednesday: I finally saw my favorite instructor Erin at spin class. It was another super sweaty class that challenged me and I felt great afterward. Nothing like starting your day off with an adrenaline high!
Thursday: I did 30 minutes on the stair climber while watching the rest of the weeks SOA episode. I have a love/hate relationship with this machine, it hurts like hell but I feel great when I’m done. At night I taught Group Power and really felt the burn from having not taught last week!
Friday: I did a nice and easy 4 miles in 37 mins (9:07 pace) while watching Grey’s Anatomy–watching my favorite shows while running makes it go by so quickly!
Saturday: I had good intentions of doing a workout, but we had soccer in the morning then decided to do our Thanksgiving shopping right after and before I kew it, it was Ashton’s naptime and I started on my closet eviction.
Sunday: We went for a family hike since it was really beautiful out and we know we don’t have that many more days like that here in MA left.
I planned to workout during Ashton’s naptime, but he asked that I take a nap with him and he has never asked for that. At first I wanted to say no because I had a plan in my head and wanted to get my sweat on but I stopped myself and decided to lay down with him. I took a nap with him and it was glorious! I am trying really hard to savor these sweet moments! After his nap we went to get his hair cut and ended up getting home much later than I anticipated because we went to ride all the rides at the mall. Totally worth losing track of time, we had a blast!
All in all, this weeks workouts were much better than last weeks! Now that I am home this week, my plans may change a bit but I am aiming to work out most days and I have my first Turkey Trot on Thursday morning! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
