The week started off with a mid-distance run.
I finished my run off with a 5 minute workout. It's such a short period of time and may sound wimpy, but let me tell you, it's pretty intense. In fact, I don't even think I made it five whole minutes.
The one thing that very much helped me this week was the start of my Zooma Summer Challenge. The Challenge is complete with meal planning tips, workouts, and motivation.
The first exercise for the week was a 2 mile run. I had traveled to Miami on a 6am flight so I was not able to run in the morning and spent the day in meetings. I almost missed the day's workout but seeing all the Facebook posts encouraged me to get up and hit the treadmill...even at 10:30p.
Make examples, not excuses. I knew that I could easily do 2 miles so I got up and got it done. No excuses!
The third exercise for the week was a track workout that included sprint intervals. Well, running 400 meters at 75% of your speed then a recovery lap. I think I messed that one up. I took my daughters with me. One ran and one walked and provided encouraging words as I ran.
Accept the gentle push. The one who ran decided to race me and I don't know why, but I took the bait.
The last exercise of the week was a long run. I couldn't peel myself out of bed in time to run and get to a meeting so I started with a shortened long run in mind. As I was running along minding my own business, an unattended dog decided to make my acquaintance.
Stay out of danger. Lol. I am afraid of dogs and ran away as fast as my legs would let me.
This week did NOT go at all as expected but I am happy to say that I put some work in and ran a little over 14 miles towards my 55 mile goal for this month.
What will you do to help you reach your goals?
