Sweat it out Saturday- week in review

This week was a bit of a blur. You know when you have so much going on and are stressed because you are too busy to work out, but if you don't.....you will lose it? That was me this week. After my daughter graduated last week. I had to plan her graduation party.

I made time to workout, and since I run so early, I knew that running would not interfere with my prepping and planning this week. It actually helped. I came home from my runs with energy and focus to tackle my daily tasks. I went to the gym 3 times, and my workouts were short and I made them count.

Monday: Spin class

Tuesday: 5AM-Ran 4 miles.

Wednesday: Legs, shoulders- supersets. Abs.

Thursday: 5AM-3.5 miles. Later: Chest, shoulders, bi's, tri's- circuits. Abs.

Friday: Cleaned for 6 hours. That was a workout.

Saturday: Long run- 8 miles.

I took it easy this week with running. Actually I've been taking it really easy with my pace and distances. I am being very conservative with my base building. My piriformis muscle has been a little tender, so I didn't start speed work like I intended. Maybe next week. I will play it by ear.

I was only going to run 6.5 miles with my running group on Saturday, but felt surprisingly good after they stopped. (Hello runners high.) I kept running and called it an even 8 miles. It was muggy and overcast, but still a good run. I wasn't dreading every step of the last mile.
