Weekly Workout Recap

More for my benefit that yours, I want to do a post every Sunday recapping the past week's workouts. It's definitely good for me to see what I'm actually up to, and which areas (ahem, strength training) I need to work on. So...


Monday: 6.5 Mile Run
Tuesday: 12 Mile Run
Wednesday: 5.5 Mile Run
                   Resistance Bands: chest, shoulders, back, biceps, triceps 
                   Abs--various
                   100 Push-Up Challenge Week 5 (Workout #3)
Thursday: Rest Day :)
Friday: 6.5 Mile Run
             Resistance Bands: chest, shoulders, back, biceps, triceps
             Abs--various
             100 Push-Up Challenge Week 5 (Workout #3--Repeat)
Saturday: 5.5 Mile Run
Sunday: 25 Minutes Elliptical, 10 Minutes Rowing
Total Weekly Mileage: 35.5 Miles



The picture of above has nothing to do with this post...I just bought a big box of Nerds and wanted to show them off. They really make me so happy :)


Do you have a way of tracking your workouts and comparing one week to the next?
More importantly, how awesome are Nerds?

    That is an AWESOME week! I use daily mile to track everything, but do a similar week recap every week to figure out how I did and set goals for the next week. It works really well for me!

    I like the idea of adding in goals for the following week as well! I think I'll do that next week, thanks for the great idea! :)

    This is probably not the best way to track...but I have a table in a word doc that I save and keep track of my mileage each week and whether I ran outside or on the TM. I also keep track of the mileage on my shoes in that document as well. On my outside runs I use garmin connect (online) when I upload my runs and in the notes section I write a lot about how I felt during the run...I also keep track of my workouts every day on my blog...just to hold me accountable :)

    way to go on your mileage!!! it sounds like you had some awesome runs this week!

    I used to have a journal and Nike+ until I found Dailymile. I love that I can update it anywhere and at anytime...and track how many donuts I burned off. *smile* I love this weekly recap! I may start doing something similar. You had a terrific week! What a inspiration!

    I'm so glad you left a comment so I could stumble over to your blog too! Just looking at your mileage I know it's going to be an awesome motivator for me!! I keep a calendar hanging by my front door that I write my mileage on... I love the visual reminder to get outside so I can keep adding to it. Also, I've been wanting to try a cinnamon roll Larabar forever but they don't seem to exist in Canada. Hopefully I can find them when I go to San Fran next month!!

    I keep a calendar with workouts planned out on it - then write down what I actually do. Its a good way to keep myself accountable because its pretty obvious when I slack off! I like seeing other people's workouts posted on their blogs to get inspired! :)

    LOVE nerds! Have you ever had a nerds rope? Its basically a super long piece of licorice covered in nerds - amazing!

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou

Running Jewelry Giveaway from The Run Home!

Running has a tendency at times to make me feel just a little less feminine that I might like. The curves might disappear just a little (well...the top ones at least. Bottom ones are still out in full force) and I spend more time fiddling with my Garmin than I do putting on make-up. So I love when I can show my interest in running with a beautiful, feminine piece of jewelry. I recently received two necklaces from the great people at The Run Home.   They have an Etsy store full of inspirational necklaces, bracelets and more for athletes. I received this beautiful necklace in the mail from them: A cute running shoe, heart, and a hand-stamped 26.2 charm. In all honesty, I don't think I'll wear this until I have finished the marathon in November. Kind of like wearing a race shirt before you completed the race! But it will make the perfect reward and I can't wait to wear it with pride. The Run Home sent everything to me perfectly packaged--like it was a gift. I loved that:
