Well for as slow as I thought January moved along, February seems to be flying along in a blink. How is half the month already over? I’m still keeping the mileage low as I baby my quad, but did run my first race of the year today. Here’s a quick rundown of how the week played out.
Monday: Rest day but continued the plank challenge. I had pushed the pace on Sunday’s run and the quad was screaming for a break!
Tuesday: Yoga, plus plank.
Wednesday: 3 miles and plank.
Thursday: Yoga, plank, and a massage. The second day of yoga – who am I?
Friday: 3 miles and plank.
Saturday: Another rest day (and yes planking).
Sunday: Old Fashioned Flat 5K and post-race plank. (Recap coming later this week).
For a whole host of reasons, schedules were colliding this week and getting to a class was just not in the cards – so there were no OrangeTheory workouts. I spent time on my yoga mat not once, but twice this week – and I think my cranky quad thanked me. Another win for the quad was the arrival of the thigh compression sleeve from Body Helix.
I received the sleeve as a BibRave Pro and will write a full review after a couple more days of wearing and workout in it. But, I will say so far so good!
I’m looking forward to having Monday off for President’s Day, and, in general, having a quieter schedule this week.
How was your week? Does your February feel like it’s flying by?
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
Yes, February is going fast. I’m curious to hear how the quad sleeve works, sounds like a great addition to your arsenal! I’m guessing those are INB tights in the top pic…those are sweet!
The tights are INB – I’m obsessed with their stuff right now 🙂
I’m glad February is breezing by because that means spring is around the corner!!!
Looking forward to hearing your review on that compression sleeve!
I am so ready for spring – can’t get here fast enough!
Yikes bummer that your quad is acting up. Great news that the sleeve is helping. Do you think you did something at OTF? Congrats on your race today and hope you have a nice week ahead
Not sure where things went with the quad but I’ve kinda backed off on most of my activity to give it a breather. Thankfully the sleeve is helping!
Great week! Hope the quad sleeve helps. Curious to hear how you like it!
Thanks Jessie – I’ll be posting a review soon!
I’m glad the wrap seems to be helping. February is flying by for me — I will need that extra day though! Your yoga + massage day sounds heavenly!
Your schedule’s been so busy – hope it slows down soon!
Yes, February definitely is flying by! But I am ready for spring! Glad the sleeve seems to be helping your quad.
Spring can’t come fast enough for me! 🙂
Great week for you! I’m glad that the quad sleeve seems to be working for you and I hope it continues.
February is dragging a bit for me. It seems like a long month, but it’s probably because I don’t have much to do.
I’m sure it feels long when you’re used to being so busy. I’m betting you will be back at it sooner than you think!
I’m glad that the body helix is working so well for you so far – looking forward to your review to hear more about it!
I agree that February is going by very quickly. I can’t believe that it’s already the 17th,
Seriously this month has just disappeared!
Ooh, I can’t wait to hear about your race. I did my first race of the year last weekend and I’m hungry for more.
Which race do you think you’ll do next?
I am curious about the compression sleeve. Yes, February is flying by and I am not complaining about it. 🙂
It’s funny I usually joke that February is the longest shortest month – it’s rare to not feel like it’s dragging along.
last week was a range of feels. but I still got my workouts in and I am happy about that. I also feel like February is flying!! Ron has a quad sleeve too and it really helped him when he had issues, so i can imagine your new sleeve will really help!!
great that you got 2 yoga sessions in last week!!
It’s good that you got your workouts in! The yoga sessions were a good thing – I need to do it more often.
February definitely feels like it’s flying by!
Congrats on your first race of 2020. I still have not run one. 🙂
Any spring races planned?
