Oh yes, I'm IN for real!

Monday

Did: 30 min walk + 20 min strength training

Stopped at Furman for a short early morning walk on the way to work, then hit the gym as soon as I got to the office. 

20 RFT: 5 pushups, 6 mtn climbers, 7 air squats = 9:15

Didn't do quite the extensive strength workout that I'd had in mind, but more than just the bodyweight workout. 

Tuesday

Did: 6.5 mi @ 8:02/mi avg Track Tuesday + 6 min core

Had a great group today for downtown Track Tuesday! Most of us ended up doing 1k repeats - I did 4x 1k (4:20, 4:13, 4:17, 4:20) + 2x200m (41s each). Felt amazing with the cool fall temps, I almost wished I'd brought some sleeves. 

Did the bodyweight core workout when I got to work.

5 Days of Core:
1- 60s plank
2- bicycle crunches
3- reverse situps
4- Russian Twists
5- flutter kicks

= 6:30

Wednesday

Did: 3.73 mi @ 12:53/mi EZ run/walk + 15-min bodyweight workout + 5.7 mi bike ride

Started off the morning with a run/walk on the SRT - lovely and cool, felt great.

Midday at home, did the bodyweight workout. Improved a good bit on this one vs. 6 weeks ago, so feeling great about that!

2x 90s each, 30s rest between each 90s: shoulder taps, up-downs, high-knees, squat & pulse (hold low squat and pulse), Score is total of each = 

taps 68+70=138
updowns 33+37=70
knees 102+117=219
squats 97+115=212

Finished the day by riding my bike to D's soccer practice.

Beautiful sunset!

Thursday

Did: 7.3 mi @ 8:51/mi including 6x Hill Repeats + 6 min bodyweight workout

Mannnnn what a perfect morning! Chilly and breezy for the group run downtown. Ran 5 miles together then a few of us were brave enough to tackle a few repeats up and down the hill near the Governor's school. 

Did the bodyweight workout once I got to the work gym:

50 RTs, 40 flutter kicks, 30 single-leg glute bridge, 20 crunches, 10 side plank crunch (hold side plank, touch elbow to knee), 10 other side plank crunch, 20 reverse crunch, 30 single-leg glute bridge (other side), 40 flutter kicks, 50 RTs = 5:55

THEN while I was sitting in a meeting, I got the OFFICIAL EMAIL!

🤩🤩

Friday

Did: 3.27 mi @ 12:11/mi avg + 15 min bodyweight workout

Hurricane warnings and school shifted to e-Learning for the day, so my schedule was a bit disrupted. Got out for a run/walk in the mid-morning...intended to just be a walk but with the unknown timing of the storms rolling in, I decided to hurry things up a little by slow jogging some portions. Turned out to be lovely, just a bit breezy!

Got the bodyweight workout done later in the day.

3x 30s each: jacks, fast feet, jump squat, mtn climbers, high knees, TD squat, forward kick (alternating legs), rest

Saturday

Did: 3.6 mi bike ride w/ D

A pretty casual day other than some walking around and a short bike ride with D on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in the afternoon. 

Sunday

Did: 12.35 mi @ 8:43/mi

Long run in the morning and mannnn those temperatures were perfect! Started just before the sun came up and had beautiful sunshine by the end. Finished with 4x20s strides even though I was sooooo tired/hungry. Felt good to give a little push at the end. Beautiful run!
