Two posts in one day? Amazing. But I thought since I didn’t give you a fitness related post this morning, I would do a quick post this afternoon
This week, I’ve managed to stick to my workout schedule for the first time in a long time!
And I am tired. And sore. And the hard part of the schedule is yet to come.
I schedule my workout plans on a Mon-Sun week. I normally like to do my long runs on Sunday for two reasons: 1) from September-May, Mondays are good rest days because I have choir rehearsals that suck up 3-4 hours of the day, and 2), Kim works Saturdays, so if I want to run with her, it has to be Sunday.
But this week, because I am cheering at the Annapolis Ten Miler on Sunday, I had to put my long run on Saturday, which meant some tweaks. First, Friday’s optional run was taken out of the schedule and replaced with ChaLEAN Extreme. So I managed to lift three times this week, which is definitely a good thing.
Tomorrow, the weather should be good for my 12 mile run, the last 4 with Betsy and her dog Charlie. But 12 miles. Yikes.
This is the last week of solid workouts that I will get for a while. The next two weeks will involve lots of walking, but no actual workouts until my next long run. I’m hoping that doesn’t have too much of an effect on my fitness level. And I certainly hope I don’t gain back all the weight I’ve lost. I have very stubborn fat. It likes to stick around. But it also likes to invite all its friends over. Quite frustrating.
