This was another really great week with lots of workouts. We had our first weekly training group session for the spring half marathon training group that I am mentoring through our local running store. It was a info session on form and then a speed workout. I had to remind myself to take it easy because I really shouldn’t be doing speed work quite yet.
This week I tried something new … I ran 4 days instead of only 3 and I felt great. I also kept up with three days of core work, a day of yoga, cross training, my PT exercises {though I missed two days, #FAIL} and my plank-a-day. I’m hoping to get my running up to 5 days a week {two days for time, two days for distance including a long run, and one group workout at the track for “speed” --- where I plan to keep it slow & easy for now while I am still rebuilding my base and endurance}. {Also I plan to get my spring half marathon training plan posted soon.}
The husband missed a day of planking so he had to restart a day 1 --- which means I finally beat him at something! Woohoo!!! I’m still doing 30 second planks and they are finally starting to feel more controlled and I’m less shaky. I feel like my core is getting stronger and that I #suckless than when I started.
ALSO --- so far I’ve worked out every single day of this year {either running or at the gym or active rest days with walking} and I plan to keep my run/walk streak going as long as I can! I’ve almost reached 50 miles for this month already :)
I linked all my workouts to my Daily Mile logs if you really want to read about them. Are we friends on Daily Mile yet?!?

We were out of town visiting my family in my hometown for birthday celebrations and ran along the river. I didn’t really think about the hill course we choose until we were out there so I just walked up the hills as necessary. I felt really good. It was cold and the soccer fields were covered in frost!

Busy week! Love Lucy's jacket!
Looks like you had a rad week - congrats on beating your husband at planks ;)
Love Lucy's pink fleece!
I believe 4 days improved my running and time...I would way prefer it if the weather would let up!
I've starting a plank a day too! I restarted yesterday....
Way to go almost 50 miles for the month..rockstar!
Amazing week! Lucy's jacket is so cute! I have got to do better about using my WW app to update my activity points and log what I've been eating. Hopefully your diligence will motivate me!
Girl, you are a busy bee! And Lucy looks so cute in her pink jacket!
