On the way to meeting my goals.....(progress so far)

*Sunday-Saturday


**Actual:
Miles: 12.26
Yoga: 0 minutes total
Weight Training: 2 sessions
Road bike mileage: 21.44 (goal attained!)
Goals:
Miles : 20
Yoga: 60 minutes total
Weight Training: 3 sessions
Road bike mileage: 20
Ok, so I did meet all my goals. I actually did worse than I thought I would do. Maybe I was too ambitious? Too tired? Or maybe the goals were just too steep since this was not a typical week for me? I think it was a mixture of all of those choices!
I am not even sure I can make goals for this week ( lame) since I have no clue if I am doing the duathlon this coming Sunday. So that in itself makes it hard for me to plan ( lame). So I will post some maybe goals I guess? ( lame). I will call them tentative goals I suppose- I may or may not revise them as plans come about. Good enough. I can adapt. It's like my middle name.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday - OFF. I kind of feel weird about that. We did walk a little bit during the the trip, but not as much activity as I am used to.
Goals:
Running Miles : 15?
Yoga: 60 minutes total
Weight Training: 3 sessions?
Road bike mileage: 15?

Friday--a day of complete REST!

I went to bed on Thursday night thinking I would take Friday off. I woke up Friday morning thinking the same thing. Not only was I tired and do for a break anyway, but I was beyond sore. I know part of it was from the kickboxing class and the other was from changing things up with my weight circuit. My back is tore up!! All those elbow strikes and hooks do it to me every time! My hamstrings are on fire and I am sure the culprit is the wide stance dead lifts I did. Woah and ouchie. It's all good though. I stretched a little bit today. I probably should have done some yoga. Yep. I should have. Oh well.
Tomorrow is my long run day. I plan on doing 10-11 miles. My iPod is charging as I type. Tomorrow night is also the end of the year party for my running group. Yes, I know it's the beginning of the year, but this was the best time to hold it. It should be a good time. It will be fun and interesting to see how everyone looks in normal clothes ( although normal clothes for a lot of us is workout clothes!). Sometimes it's hard to even recognize people not in running tights, hats and windbreakers! My race is next SUNDAY. EEEK!!!

Sunday Slacker....

I took Sunday off completely. Not by choice, but life happens ya know?!?
The GOOD news is I spent some time with my newest niece Sophie!! I love me some babies!!
She is soo cute and tiny and perfect.
Time off is good especially when you are doing something like spending time with family.
