Good morning everyone! I hope you’ve all had a great weekend. I had quite a busy one, and it’s not over yet because we’re going to see HANSON tonight! I know, I know, you’re jealous. Totally understandable.
First, a few photos to give you a glimpse into my weekend:
I’ll do a more detailed marathon volunteering re-cap tomorrow – it was quite a day!
Now that I’ve started a couple workout programs I’ve decided to go back to posting workouts here on the blog. Here’s a look at last week’s workouts:
Monday: OFF
Tuesday: 3 miles (9:10 pace) + 18 minute weight workout
Wednesday: elliptical + purely inspire workout (circuit)
Thursday: 3 miles (9:05 pace) + purely inspire workout (weights)
Friday: 45 minutes elliptical + abs
Saturday: 6 miles!!!!!! (9:45 pace)
Sunday: Volunteer Chicago Marathon (on feet from 6:30am to 2:00pm aka active rest day…)
And there you have it! I was so excited that I got in the 6 miles on Saturday and although it was a little harder than I’d have wanted, the time FLEW by because I ran with a friend from law school and we were talking the whole time. Running buddies are the best.
I also skipped a Purely Fit workout on Friday because it was a circuit using 6 moves and 3 of them were just too advanced for me. They have ways that you can make it easier for beginners, but it was one of those days I just wasn’t in the mood and wanted an easy workout that required little thinking. Hence, the elliptical.
Here’s what I have coming up for this week:
Monday: 3 miles + Purely Inspire Workout 3 (circuit with set reps – see how many rounds you can repeat in 18 minutes)
Tuesday: Purely Fit Workout #30 Butt Blaster (um scared…)
Wednesday: 2 miles + Purely Inspire Workout 6 (15 minute HIIT workout)
Thursday: 3 miles + elliptical + abs
Friday: Purely Inspire Workout 7 (16 minute weight circuit workout)
Saturday: 4 miles
Sunday: REST
As usual, my workout schedule is always ready to be adjusted. If I don’t feel like working out one day, I’ll make that my rest day instead of Sunday, this is just how I scheduled it since I took yesterday off. Also – if I’m not feeling one workout one day, I can always move them around!
What did you do this weekend?
