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!

One Word. Proud.
If I had one word to describe todays workout it would be proud. Proud I got out there. Proud I followed the training plan. Proud I pushed back self doubt. Proud I used discipline over motivation. Just proud. That seems to be the overall word for this whole training plan. Doing it for myself is a strong why. I am loving it. When I don’t want to get out there, I remember the why behind it all, and it gets me out the door. We got back from a long day at Disney last night where I definitely didn’t eat or drink enough. Top that off with McDonalds on the…

30min Bootcamp & More Disney
We had a fun filled Disney day planned and I knew I wanted to stop switching things in my training plan and instead make it work with my schedule, as much as possible. I woke up early and did a 30min Peloton Biking Bootcamp Class. My legs are still a little sore, so I picked just an upper body class. It was perfect. I kept it on the shorter side since I was going to be on my feet and in the heat all day. I am so glad I made it work. It’s nice to not have it on your mind all day. I was able to knock out…

Painful Four Miles
Ouch. That one hurt. Once again I was reminded that bad nutrition translates to bad running, and feeling pretty bad. I didn’t eat the best today. Nutrition along with not enough water and running in the heat and humidity caused a very difficult run. I took more walking breaks than normal. With all that said, I got it done. I didn’t quit and I didn’t turn around early, and for that I am very proud of myself. This is the first day in my training plan that I was ready to call it quits at a half mile in. I am beyond proud of myself for both mentally and physically pushing…

60min Bootcamp Class (Cycling and Lifting)
I was feeling super unmotivated today. I passed on a morning workout. I didn’t sleep well, and the kids were up extra early. Decided to push it off until around 5ish. 5ish came and I still wasn’t feeling it. I thought about switching my off day to today, but I knew I was just being lazy and didn’t actually need a day off. I decided to combine my lift and biking and do a Peloton Cycling Bootcamp Class. Specifically a 60min Boot Camp with Jess Sims. It was so good. Everything I didn’t know I needed tonight. It was a perfect way to destress. I like the back and forth…

Three Miles After Tons of Chocolate
Decided to take the morning off and run later in the day to give my legs some more rest. I ran three treadmill miles around 4:30. It was again hot, humid and sweaty. I tried to keep it slower and consistent. After I finished I wished I went a little slower, but overall I felt great. We spent the afternoon at my parents house and I ate approximately 1500 calories in chocolate caramels from Costco and it was not the pre run fuel I should have had. I’m surprised with how my legs have been feeling with the extra miles. I think that means the training plan is increasing mileage…
