Weekly Recap: September Week 2

September 16, 2012 | fitness, running

 

Football day! Well, yesterday was football day too, so I guess I can’t really say that. Did your team win? (Mine did! LSU won 63-14!) Do you think your team will win today?

Geaux Tigers!

This past week my workouts were better than the week before (I am getting there!) but still not back to “normal.” After being out of town all the week before, I had a LOT of work to catch up on, which left me feeling very drained and mentally tired. Fingers crossed for a better week!

Sunday: rest

Monday: 2 mile speed work run on the Treadmill

Tuesday: weights

Wednesday: 2.5 mile run outside

Thursday: weights, 10 minutes stationary bike

Friday: 5 miles outside

Saturday: weights, 30 minutes stationary bike

Total miles run: 9.5

cross training: X’s 2

weights: X’s 3

We are going to get in a long run on Monday and again on Friday or Saturday, and I am hoping to do weights four times this week instead of 3. My new shoes I ordered have been shipped and will hopefully be here soon (and will hopefully help my foot!)

QOTD: Did your college football team win yesterday? I’m an LSU Tiger fan!

    Have you found the stationary bike is helping with your foot? I’ve been put off running by my PT, but am thinking maybe I could try biking too.

      I either do bike or elliptical as my cross training, but found elliptical irritates it more than elliptical to I try to do it 1-2 times a week on non-run days.

    Great week of workouts! We are Seminoles in this house! They killed wake forest yesterday but we have a big test next weekend against Clemson. I’ve got 10 miles on the schedule for next weekend and will probably need a running buddy if you are interested.

    Yes! UW (Univ of Washington – GO DAWGS!) won their game and so did SDSU (San Diego). It was a great day for college football (and today was an even better day for pro football!)

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
