Happy Monday!
I’m happy to say that last week felt like a turning point for me – dare I say it…I felt stronger…stronger during both my runs and my strength workouts. Still a ton of work to do but last week felt like real progress!
Monday 5/2: Strength work and PT exercises.
Tuesday 5/3: This was suppose to be a run day, but I had an awful night of sleep and could not get my face out of the pillow when my alarm went off. The pouring rain did not help…and this run did not happen.
Wednesday 5/4: Session with Trainer Stacey.
Thursday 5/5: Still raining (seriously I was considering building an ark this week!), but I was up and out early – 3.5 miles done. Deep tissue massage in the afternoon (always a win!)
Friday 5/6: Yoga.
Saturday 5/7: Another soggy run – 4 miles.
Sunday 5/8: A rare appearance of the sun, so I couldn’t resist starting Mother’s Day off with a 3 mile run to make up for Tuesday.
I also managed to get back on the daily plank bandwagon – thanks to Marcia’s #plankyplanky challenge on Facebook.
The sun is hopefully here to stay this week so I’m looking forward to no more soggy runs, and some cross-training…aka, yardwork, to add to the mix this week. And, I’m hoping to meet up with a crew from Black Girls Run for a group run on Thursday!
So how’d last week treat you? Join the fun group of bloggers for the Weekly Wrap and let us know. Tricia and Holly are great hosts and I swear this link-up gets bigger every week!
Oh the rain!!! I hope the weather shapes up for you soon. Happy belated Mother’s Day and great week of workouts! I’m a fan of the plank challenges, too, but I fell off the bandwagon last week 🙂 … hopping back on TODAY!
You can do it Amy – just jump back on 🙂 Have a great week!
I’m so glad to hear that you are happy with your progress on the runs! And yes, if the weather would improve…

Thanks Sharon – You too 🙂
I am pretty much over all this rainy running too! Hope this next week is better
Me too! Thanks Deborah.
I agree , so tired of rain.
Glad you are feeling stronger.
I have been thinking about a daily plank challenge, I may have to try it soon. They really work your core.
Hope you have a good week.
It really is pretty amazing how effective planks can be! Have a great week!
Strong is good and sexy! Michelle, I’m so glad you are feeling stronger.
Marcia has many of us reeled in plank mode. Now I just wish I could say I feel stronger…. I’m going to keep on planking though!
Have a great week lady!

I’m happy to hear you had such a good week and reached a turning point! From what I’ve read, the rain was an issue for many runners. So, I hope you are having better weather this week. I started planking more regularly earlier this year. I can definitely tell an improvement now. I just need to keep it up. Thanks for linking with us Michelle!

You’ve been providing some serious plank-inspiration! Hopefully this challenge will keep me in a groove.
Sorry for the rain, but at least you got to enjoy a nice massage!!
