Tempo Monday
I forgot Monday was Halloween until it was too late to do a morning workout. Fail. I opted for a little bit of a shorter tempo run on the treadmill after trick or treating with the kids. I surprisingly felt pretty decent. I did a five minute warm-up at about 10:30 pace and then a 10 minute tempo run at 8:34 pace followed by a five minute cool down at 10:00 pace. I followed up the run with about 9 minutes on the bike. I have added in some biking after runs recently to help with increasing my cadence. It is yet to be determined if it is working. I…

Resetting and Getting Back Focused.
The last few days were perfect for resetting and getting back focused. I have spent time tonight writing out my training plan from tomorrow until my 5k on Thanksgiving. Life has been crazy, between visitors, and camping. It was time to reset and be present with the kids. I did stay consistent. I still ran easy and walked a lot. I don’t feel like I gained any fitness in the past few days, but I don’t think I lost any either. Friday: after a day at Disney my legs were sore and my body was tired. Then we packed it up and headed to the campground. I did get in…

Easy Run and Day at Disney
Morning started with an easy three mile run and ended with a day at Disney. My legs are spent! Hopefully I wake up tomorrow feeling better! I did an easy three miles on the treadmill this morning before we left. My Apple Watch seems to get the distance correct if I run at pretty much the same speed the whole time. My goal today was to keep my heart rate below 140 and closer to 130. I did have to stop and walk a few times to make sure it stayed low. Overall it was mission accomplished. I then failed with hydration and eating today at Disney, but we had…

Workout Wednesday
Finally. Back at it. Workout Wednesday Success! I took some NyQuil last night to try and kick the last of my cough and get a good night sleep. I woke up in that hazy fog and it was in it all day. Nutrition was terrible. I snacked on junk food all day. I just couldn’t seem to get full, and nothing was working to curb the cravings. It had all the markings of a bad day. But I knew I needed to just at least start the workout and see how it went. I opted to do the workout on the treadmill to make sure I kept a consistent pace.…
