Another winter-y week of running, yoga and rest completed. We had a snow storm last Friday and currently having one at the moment. This winter is by far more manageable than last year’s SNOW BOMB after SNOW BOMB.
Building My Base Week #3
What was Planned vs. What Really Happened
Monday Feb 1st: Yoga or Rest Day | Rest Day. My legs were tired from Sunday’s 10k and I had a sick little one on my hands.
Tuesday: Yoga | Yoga & 5k Treadmill run. Yoga was great as was my run.
Wednesday: Run/DVD Workout | Rest Day
Thursday: Run | 8k Run Outside. I ran at 6pm with my running buddy, Krystol. We had a fantastic run. Easy pace, talked the whole time we ran and knocked out 8k without paying attention to our Garmin’s. Perfect run except I didn’t stretch enough afterwards and my hamstring was sore on Friday.
Friday: Rest Day | Rest Day + 30 push ups (part of a monthly challenge).
Saturday: Run | Nothing. Shoveled snow/snowblowed the driveway. Spent the day with my girls.
Sunday: Run | Treadmill 5k Didn’t love it but was happy I did it.
Though my week was a little more “rest days” my body needed it. Hilary was sick early in the week which messed with our sleep. Honestly, I had very little sleep last week and unfortunately my husband was away. So those “rest days” were actually me feeling 110% exhausted. I’m okay with the way my week went down.
If you missed the first two weeks, you can catch up here: Week #1 and Week #2.
Week #4 has started off with a bang in a killer yoga class yesterday. The first 5 minutes, okay probably 8-10 minutes was ALL abs. Not easy ab work, SUPER hard ab work. I hurt today. It’s all good.
How was your weekend?
How often do you feel completely exhausted? Tired is different than exhausted.
Training, racing – tell me about it…
Piper's Run 
I visited a friend in Edmonton when I was in town for the hypo half. It was a fun weekend. I did some yoga, eat some good veg food & ran 21.1k lol
Sounds like a pretty great weekend Crystal!
It was! (For a change. I’ve been down quite lately.)
Great work! I hope your little one is feeling better and you can get some good sleep this week.
Thanks! She is finally feeling better….just a runny nose now.
Do you doing great! I always feel that exhaustion is when you are nearly zombie like. And your body hurts.
YES……..zombie for sure!
Snow shoveling counts as cross training right? solid week!
Absolutely! Upper body, abs, back.
I was tired this past weekend but did a lot of running. Monday was Family Day for us in Victoria so after my run in the morning I took it easy and relaxed with my fur babies.
Yoga sometimes seems like it is a good rest but it is tough mentally and physically. Great job.
Honestly, I think you had a FANTASTIC week considering the circumstances! Hope everyone’s on the mend now and you’re able to catch up on some probably much-needed rest!!
It felt like a good week even with the lack of sleep. We are *almost* back to normal but the little one caught another cold! Oh man!
