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

Active Bands Review and Giveaway

Click this link at your own risk, but let it suffice to say that I have some wild hair. No, not a couple of curls. A wild, beastly tangle that is NOT allowed out on its own. Ever. So running is a challenge. A ponytail is a given...and then usually a bun. I tried a few different headbands in the past, but they all end up "sweating off" and either annoying me completely or just falling onto the floor. Enter Active Bands. I wish there was some kind of heavenly gate chimes or something to accompany this post. I feel that strongly. I know there are a few "running" bands specifically designed to keep your hair in place, and I can't speak for them all because I haven't tried them all, but of every one I have put to the test, Active Bands are the only ones that work. I read about them so much on blogs that I bought my own to try out several months ago. I purchased two, and then basically alternated them day in and day out. You probably recognize them (black and

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
