Well for as good as Week 1 felt, Week 2 was meh at best! A combination of various family obligations, schedule changes and the hangover effects of dealing with insomnia, left me in a state of constant shuffling last week. Shuffling of workouts to fit them in…and shuffling with tired legs out on the road.
So this is how the week shook out:
Monday: Needed to push this run to Tuesday.
Tuesday: Again, needed to push this run till later but was sure I’d get it in. By late afternoon I needed to concede that I was just too damn tired so I skipped the run.
Wednesday: Weekly Pilates Barre class
Thursday: 4 miles of intervals plus 2 miles warm-up and cool down. Ugly but done.
Friday: Cross-training on the bike
Saturday: Needed to leave uber-early to drive to Maine so moved my run to Sunday.
Sunday: I was exhausted when I started…Was suppose to do 7 but called it quits after 5.8 miles.
Daily: Core work & rolling
Clearly the mileage suffered…Some weeks you just have to do what you can and move on…last week was one of those weeks!
So the goal of week #3 is simply to get back on track!
I wrote on my blog yesterday how I had a pretty much skipped week of marathon training due to a bachelorette girls trip to Florida. All you can do is try harder the next week and get back on track!
You’re so right Lauren. Hope you had fun in Florida 🙂
Yep, some weeks are definitely like that. I regret whenever I push a run til later. Sigh. Still plenty of time to get on track though.

Yeah I should know that to push a run to later in the day means I’m not getting it in.
Michelle I think we all have weeks like that! Mine isn’t going the way I’d hoped this week either. There’s always next week right?

Sorry you’re having a tough week – hope it gets better!
Ah, I was juggling this week but it looks like things just might fall into place, as long as my dentist appt doesn’t take more than 40 min so I can make it to spinning tomorrow ….

Some weeks you are the windshield and some weeks you are the bug, this week you got to spend time with your family, smiled little, got to get across that wonderful bridge that I know so well and visited.
The insominia sucks, but it sounds like you got a little caught up later in the week. Hopefully, this week has started out better and you will be the windshield this week. 🙂

So true on all points! Here’s to being the windshield 🙂
I know how you feel! Sometimes it’s tempting to dwell on what you didn’t get done but you did the best you could, which was better than nothing! Hope things calm down!

Thanks Janelle – so far this week’s looking better!
Good job on your workouts. Even though you had to cut it short at times. A shorter run is better than no run at all.
