I woke up at 5:30 and worked out all 4 days I worked this week! And I ate pretty well too!
After my run on Tuesday, I did Upper Fix on Wednesday. Lifting weights makes me so incredibly happy!
Thursday I wasn't sure what I wanted to do since I knew I would be running on Friday. So I decided to do a 30 minute Advanced Beginner ride using the Peloton App. It definitely was a workout! I forgot my towel - I wish I had it since the bike was drenched and my hands were falling off by the end.
My kids didn't have school on Friday and even though I had to work, I knew I had time to fit in a run (even though I didn't actually start working until 9:30 :)) Originally I was going to go 7 miles. My 10K is in 5 weeks but I figured I would run 7 as much as I could since that is my golden amount to feel good about prior to 1/2 Marathon Training starting on November 11. But as I started running, and wasn't loving the run, I asked myself why would I jump from 6 miles to 7 miles and why run 7 miles prior to the 10K? It's not like I run more than 13.1 miles before a 1/2 marathon. Plus I have 3-4 weekends after the 10K to run 7 miles.
So I ran 3.25 miles out, stopped, had a Gu, and ran back. I underestimated what 86% humidity is like (temp was about 58 when I started). I chose to not bring my frozen bandana, which has been great at wiping down my face and arms. I had removed my wedding rings, but my fingers were still sausages by the end. And at the 1/2 way point I had drunk too much of my water so had to ration it on the way back.
I stretched, drank some water and a chocolate milk, and headed home. Jumped in a quick shower and then had to sit as our kitchen island and work.....And eat like crap. I didn't have time to fix a proper breakfast before having to get on conference calls, so I was grazing and snacking. I was 229.6 this morning (first time less than 230 in a long, long time) but I won't be tomorrow morning (especially since we don't have plans tomorrow my husband wants to go out for Chinese food, something we haven't done in a long, long time).
Sunday I am hoping to get a hike in and maybe go antiquing, but other than that it should hopefully me a low key, nice long weekend. Sunday is supposedly to only in the high 60s/low 70s, but since I am waiting, and waiting, for TOM to arrive, I may not get to hiking - a too long hike wouldn't be conducive to those things without a bathroom.

You are doing great with the running! I want to start (I had a false start at the beginning of the month) but my knees have been really hurting lately!!
