WORKOUT RECAP: APRIL 1 - 7
Day 91: Plan: 10 - 13 miles| Actual: 10.05 Miles
I got up early so that I was at the lake by 7:30am. I had to get 10 miles and be home in time shove food in my face, get clean and walk in the door at my in-laws house by 11:30am. Whew! The run was good. I struggled a bit during the first half, and I was concerned about my timing. On the way back I was doing better. I'm definitely noticing that I'm losing strength since I've been a unintended strength training haitus. Because of that my hamstring is tighter and the muscles around my knee is achy. My pace averaged most of time in the 12 minute range, which was nice. There were a couple slower miles, nothing horrible. The last mile I pushed into in the 10s so that I finished right on time. Overall I did a good job I think and made it less stressful for my hubs for sticking to our timeline.Easter celebrations consisted of M cooking lunch for family before we drove down to my parents house. My mom had a cold, but was working on a "lupper." Most of our time was dealing with taxes with my dad, which was extremely stressful. Then we left to do our own thing with a delicious Cincinnati Chili dinner. For me I tend to have some really good Easter memories, but this year was kinda stressful and didn't meet all of my expectations. I guess I reached another level in adulthood.
Day 92: Plan: XT | Actual: Rest Day
Today M and I ventured up to Frisco to watch a Dallas Stars practice session, which was a lot of fun. After that we had the most delicious ramen at our favorite place. (I'm writing on Saturday at the end of the week I'm drooling at the thought of ramen!). After that we did our grown-up thing and went to the grocery store. Then it was nap time before dinner. I also baked my first traditional cake from scratch today! I tried to make a funfetti cake, but my batter wasn't thick enough to keep the sprinkles suspended, but otherwise it tasted really good! I'll have to try it again. I kinda want to make this salted caramel cake for our 6 month wedding anniversary later this month. We'll see!
Day 93: Plan: 45 min run (or a 5k run) | Actual: 4.07 Miles
This was an incredibly hard run for me. I felt slow. It got better after the first two miles, but not by much.
Day 94: Plan: XT | Actual: 10 minutes XT
I finally got myself to put on a pair of workout clothes and worked with my dumbbells while the Hubs and I talked about job stuff while he cooked dinner. It's been so long since I did any of this that I think I only got about 10 minutes and it was a struggle to do just 1 set of 15 reps. I'm so out of shape.
Day 95: Plan: 45 min run (or a 5k run) | Actual: Busy Rest Day
I couldn't run today because I was sent to a conference in downtown. I took the DART train so that I could get there by 8am. I was home by 6:30pm. Long day. I learned a lot of stuff, and I walked around quite a bit. I got to see some of my coworkers there too, which was fun. When I got home I was hungry. M and I had a salad and pizza dinner at Spin Pizza. Yum!
Day 96: Plan: XT | Actual: 20 minutes XT
While M made dinner, which took a little while since we were cooking brown rice, so I got a good 20 minutes or so of dumbbells. I was able to get 2 sets of everything that I did, which was pretty good. The second set of reps definitely was challenging. I'm glad that I'm getting back into this!
Day 97: Plan: Rest Day | Actual: Rest Day
Cold front came through over night after storms yesterday. Woke up to temps in the 30s and a high of 45. Yikes! Looks like my run tomorrow will be a cold one, but I think the sun will come out by then. Today at work it definitely felt like a day just to be home snuggled up in pjs and blanket with a book or a movie.
