Good morning! I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend. I know a lot of people raced yesterday or this morning and I hope you all did great! I will hopefully be racing next weekend, depending on what is found during my procedure Tuesday.
Other than that, I had a decent week of workouts and a really great eight mile run yesterday.
Yes I was wearing that running. In December. It was a humid 75 degrees, welcome to the south.
However, despite the heat, I was able to run really well, and finished up eight miles in 1:19. Considering all my health problems lately, I was very proud of that number.
Here is the rest of the weekβs workouts:
Sunday: rest
Monday: rest/GI Doctor appointment
Tuesday: ran 3 miles, lifted upper body weights
Wednesday: lifted upper body weights
Thursday: ran 6 miles in one hour
Friday: lifted upper body weights, 30 minutes stationary bike
Saturday: 8 miles 1:19

Lifted weights Xβs 3
ran 17 miles
cross trained one time
I have also been trying to do lots of stretching as I up my miles in my marathon training. The last thing I want is a cramp in the middle of running goofy in January!
Donβt forget to check out my Facebook page starting tomorrow for a week with ten giveawayβs on some friendsβ blogs (and mine!)
QOTD: What is your favorite stretch?
I NEED to start stretching more! After I run, I will literally sit in a butterfly stretch for as long as possible!
How lucky to be still running in such warm temperatures!
I love to s t r e t c h! Feels so good when my muscles are tired.
Great weekly recap! My favorite stretch is any and ALL leg stretches. I love just sitting on the ground, legs straight… and relaxing and stretching out my tired old legs. π
I am the same! I could do leg and hip stretches all day.
It’s supposed to be 78 degrees here in AL tomorrow. Hopefully. π
