First run of June.
I didn't get my run in the this weekend. I was all prepped and ready to go on Sunday. Saturday my monthly finally arrived, 10 days late, without warning, with a vengence. Sunday morning I woke up to fog, 60 degrees, 99% humidity, and bad cramps (usually I like to run with cramps because they immediately disappear, though immediately reappear as soon as I am done running). I even got as far as getting up and eating 1/2 of my normal waffle PB&J sandwich. But I couldn't finish it - I felt nauseous. And finally after 20 minutes I realized the run wasn't going to happen and I went back to bed for 3 hours. Sometimes you just need to listen to your body.
I did get a lot of stuff done for the week and camp and vacation so it was a very productive day.
Monday I got up at 5:30 and did Total Body Cardio Fix of the new 21 Day Fix Real Time. I liked it - there were some things that were the same as previous and some new stuff. Of the new stuff I liked some, didn't love some. But overall I'll stick with it because it is different.
I had planned on doing the Upper Fix on Tuesday but Monday my shoulder blade was killing me. I think I initially pulled something last week and then working out on Monday didn't help. I kept asking my family members to rub it and I was tempted to go get a massage, even though I hate massages. Needless to say I knew I needed the rest on Tuesday and by the end of Tuesday it was feeling almost 100%.
I've been rotating through 3 runs on Wednesdays - flat, hills, trail (with hills). Today was Reservoir/Trail day.
Instead of running all the way around it twice, I decided to still to the roads/non-single-trek portion. So close to vacation, I can't afford to mess up an ankle. I originally thought I'd only get in 3 miles but out and back twice ended up being 3.5 miles. The second set I did walk the bigger hills.
The weather was 60 degrees and relatively low humidity. But I was already missing my 45 degree running and wished the skies had been a little more exciting. But it was great to get out there. I won't be back before vacation and probably won't be back until who knows when - next Spring?! After vacation I really need to concentrate on 10K training road runs (I'll hit 6.25 miles before vacation but need to concentrate on road running after I get back).
Thursday I am hoping to do Upper Fix, Friday an easy run, and then Sunday a big hike (If I am brave enough). It will be our last hike before vacation (we've only ended up doing 2 hikes :( ) I may chicken out and ended up doing a smaller one - Depends what the weekend brings.
And then the plan is to do 6.25 miles on Friday the 14th. The kids will be out of school and my husband has the day off so I won't need to rush back for anything (except I will need to work!) - That will leave Sunday open to do whatever my husband wants to on Father's Day. But I am jumping WAY ahead of myself. I need to get through this Wednesday. The days are dragging by lately. The kids have 1 week left of school and it can't come fast enough. But they've got a lot of sports to do this weekend and how their teams do will determine if they are done with the season or not. *fingers crossed*

I love that you totally have your workouts planned and on the calendar! I totally admire that. Right now I am more of a ‘loosey goosey’ plan. Maybe I need to do the same!
ReplyDeleteI also love that you listened to your body! I can sometimes be stubborn and push forward with ‘the plan’...because I get in the mindset of all of nothing!
You are doing great!!!
