Saturday
I was planning to run with the Road Runners but no one showed up! In their defense, our backroads running route was covered in snow.
4.12 miles – the middle 2 miles were hill repeats.
I didn’t really feel like running by myself, but I figured I was already dressed and out of the house. I’m just a very routine person, and when something falls outside of that routine (like running without company on a Saturday), I kind of lose my motivation to do anything.
Sunday
Nothing like new running clothes to get you excited for a run!
Love January sales at the outlets.
My goal was an 8 mile progressive run, with the first two miles at 8:20, the next four at 8:10, and the last two at 8:00.
Six of the 8 miles were under 8 min pace. Fail.
Knee pain returned- I thought after 8 days it might’ve been gone for good. No such luck. I’ve been so good about doing my leg lifts & stretches too!
PlankADay 1:25
Wall-sit 1:10
I also decided to start doing PlankADay. And wall-sits because I like those too.
Monday
Woke up to freezing rain. Ugh, are you kidding? Winter needs to end already.
Though it stopped in the late morning, I didn’t want to risk hitting a slippery spot on the sidewalk during my tempo run & injuring myself.
Snow and ice always disrupting my plans…grr.

Tuesday
Freezing rain on Monday then sunny and in the 60’s on Tuesday?
5.5 mile tempo (7:25 pace)
PlankADay 1:30
Wall-sit 1:22
If you’re not already used to seeing Ocean being adorable pics, you should start preparing yourself. I can’t not share her cuteness.
Wednesday
Nada. It’s looking like adding the cross-train day to my schedule was a little ambitious…but with a 3 hour commute, anytime I have to do something out of the ordinary (like put a dog down, pick up my car from getting work done, or clean the house for a friend coming to visit on the weekend), I kind of don’t have time for a workout. It sounds like an excuse but I promise it’s not.
Boy will I be glad when I don’t have a 3 hour commute eating up so much of my day anymore 🙂
Next week I will make it to the gym on Wednesday.

Friday
According to weather.com it was 25 degrees out, but felt like 12. I agree 110% with that felt like temperature. The wind was a monster today – I was glad it was a short run today!
37 minute lunchtime run.
