5 Mile Weekday Run!
Rough night in our house. I think we are going through teething and a growth spurt at the same time. We are tired around here! I had everything ready for a morning run. After being awake from 2am-5am I decided an extra hour or sleep was more important. With how the day ended up going, I’m glad I went with the extra sleep. It was a rough day. I was able to get out for a run later at night. I did three miles on the treadmill and two miles on the roads. Worked out perfect. I am actually surprised I was able to get in that much mileage. Was…

Beach & 45min Biking Bootcamp
Spent the morning on the beach, let the kids run around in the water for an hour or so during low tide. We all loved it. There is nothing like starting your morning on the beach. It just makes for a great day. The plan was then to go to my parents house to cook out, and hangout by the pool. I knew that if I didn’t get a workout in before we went. It would be a struggle when I got home. I braced myself for the hot humid weather and did a 45min Peloton Biking Bootcamp. I am really enjoying mixing my weight training with my cross training.…

Three Treadmill Miles
Kept it to the treadmill today to make sure I went slow and steady. The treadmill said I was running 11 minute miles, my watch had a little different stats, but either way three very easy miles in the books. The run felt easy and well within my means. It felt like a recovery run. I haven’t been able to say that in years. Onto Week 5! I am still a little shocked I’ve made it this far. I am feeling amazing and more confident in myself. I have worked my way up slowly to 17miles a week. I stayed at that for two weeks. Now in Week 5 I…

Six Miles
Holy Hard. Drinks last night, less water, and bad diet equaled a very difficult run this morning. But I got it in! I wanted to turn around and head home multiple times, but I knew it was mostly in my head. I am impressed with myself that with all the self-doubt and negative thoughts I was still able to finish. The thing I am struggling with the most is my running pace. I’m getting the slower overall mile times I want, but that is because I am taking small walk breaks. I need to start slowing down my overall running and stop the walking breaks. Work in progress. I need…

Active Rest Day. 30min Walk & Drinks!
Legs were sore this morning. Did a short 30min walk to get some movement for me and some fresh air for the boys, then called it a day. Spent the afternoon having some drinks by the pool. Depending on how I feel in the morning I’ll either do my long run first thing tomorrow or flip flop and run three tomorrow and six on Sunday. Either way I’m looking forward to the weekend!
