Week 2 of Black Cat training is done and it was a bit all over the place. I spent the week juggling a hectic schedule while feeling less than stellar. I’ve been definitely fighting off something and it finally caught up with me today.
Monday – Woke up feeling pretty lousy – like a cold was imminent. Thankfully it was a rest day so I worked from my couch under a blanket and hoped it would pass.
Tuesday – A heat wave of 40-degree weather broke out and I just couldn’t pass it up. I felt like crud so it was a slow and easy 3 miles – felt great to be back outside!
Wednesday – Made my first foray back to early morning workouts and hit the gym for 40 minutes on the bike and some strength work.
Thursday – A collision of schedules and still trying to get on top of whatever had me feeling so crappy made this a rest day.
Friday – I so wanted to run in the morning to beat the crazy rain and wind heading our way but just couldn’t rally. I settled for treadmill miles later in the day happy to have not missed my run!
Saturday – My body was craving a good stretch so I hit the yoga mat with my furry yogi master 😉
Today was suppose to be a 7-mile long run, but I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck so I gave in and have spent the day on the couch watching football. I’m not working tomorrow since it’s MLK Day so hopefully, I can get that run done then.
In other news…I found out that I was selected as a Headsweats ambassador for 2018! I love their hats and visors and am looking forward to representing them!
And that’s a wrap! I’m linking up with Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap.
Tell me something about your week. Did you get a break from the frigid temps this week?
Sorry that you got sick. Rest well and hopefully, you’ll be back to it soon. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!

Thanks – trying to be better about listening to my body.
Sorry you’re not feeling great. There’s so much crud going around right now and this crazy weather doesn’t help. Congrats on the Headsweats gig!

He is a cutie – now if I can just figure out how to keep him off my yoga mat 🙂
I’m like you–I felt all week that a cold was imminent and I am a little sniffly, but nothing major. I do feel a little tired tho. Hoping it passes quickly and grateful for nothing worse! Same for you!

Hoping whatever’s going around passes you by!
I love how 40 degrees is referred to as a heatwave, LOL. I totally agree though!
Congrats on Headsweats! I will only run in their hats – love them so much!
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well 🙁 Something is definitely going around lately. Rest up and feel better!

Yeah it’s too bad that “heatwave” was so short-lived – if it would just stop being so frigid I wouldn’t mind so much.
We had a brief warm-up early in the week, and it all came to a crashing halt overnight Wednesday and Thursday was a mess. Sorry you had to camp out on the couch, hope you’re feeling better soon!

Thanks Kim!
I have the same tee that you wore on Friday – it’s one of my faves! Glad you got to rest and hope it helps you feel better.
AmyC recently posted…Weekly Wrap – This Is What You Came For
That T-shirt is one of my faves too! It’s getting so worn out but I can bring myself to part with it.
I hope you feel better soon! There is so much going around right now. Congrats on the Headsweats Ambassadorship. I started wearing their visors last year and I really like them — especially for summer running. I have a red one that I just knew would fade or the color would run. Nope. It’s still as red as ever! Thanks for linking.
I love their visors too! I’m looking forward to working with them!
So sorry you have been sick this week. No fun. Good for you for getting the workouts in that you did.
Thanks Linda – I’m not good at being in bed sick so I figure a little something’s better than nothing, right?
Bummer about not feeling well, hope that passes! We too had summer like temps here but I was unable to run in it 🙁

I know that stinks. Hopefully, your hip will let you get back to running soon.
Aw, I’m sorry you weren’t feeling well. Hopefully it’s past and you’re on the road to recovery!

Thanks Rachel 🙂
Oh no! Hope you feel better soon. There’s definitely something going around. Today I felt a slight cold making its way. Rest up and wish you a full recovery!
Thanks Elaine – stay healthy!
Hope you are feeling better! Congrats on the Headsweats ambassadorship. I love their stuff! Most of my running hats are Headsweats.

Thanks Jessie I’m really looking forward to working with them!
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Hope you are back to normal next week
Thank you, Darlene.
Sounds like a heat wave all over the US! It was nice and warm in San Diego.

Could you send some of that weather this way 😉
Congrats on Headsweats – I like their stuff! I’m feeling really tired this weekend – maybe it’s the cold putting me in hibernate mode.
Coco recently posted…In A January Fog
It’s so easy to want to go into hibernation in these temps for sure!
Congratulations on Headsweats! I love their visors!
I hope you are feeling better soon! You are doing a great job keeping up with your workouts, in spite of your cold. You’ll be back in the swing of things, soon enough.
PS – I adore the furry yogi master!

Thanks Jenn – I’m hoping if I can keep moving I might outrun the worst of it 😉
Aww… I hope you’re feeling better! It seems like a bad winter for colds. And that photo of your dog “helping” with yoga is so cute!

It does seem to be a tough winter for colds – just glad it’s not the flu!
What kind of yoga do you do and how many times a week, Michelle? Keep up the great work!
I’ve really fallen off the yoga bandwagon lately – I’d like to try to get at least one session in a week.
Congrats on the Headsweats Ambassadorship! It was warm here at the first of the week but it’s cold again for south MS!!
Thanks! Headsweats should be a lot of fun 🙂
Love your furry yoga buddy! My dog does the same thing. She always joins me when I get down for floor work lol.

I guess they just can’t resist us being down on the floor – we’re in their territory 😉
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. Definitely take the time to rest and recover. Running will be there waiting for you once you’re well again.

It is hard to take that rest time, but sometimes it’s so necessary.
