January 7th: Everyone loves a rest day which was yesterday. I also enjoy it being a Monday because, Mondays amiright? Today I did a sneak peek of next week with five one minute pickups on the tread amongst my five planned miles. The pickups went fine, I did them at 7:14, and felt okay. Looking forward to seeing how this training block evolves.
January 8th: This was going to be a bike day, but that didn’t happen so I turned it into a rest day. Happy with that decision, but I do hope to make changes going forward.
January 9th: I had an appointment after work so I knew if I was going to get my run it without having everything be super late, I had to do it in the morning. My alarm went off and I mentally tried to convince myself it would be okay to run at the end of the day and I would have time. But *then* I told myself, just get out of bed and get it done! I successfully did that and ran 4 miles early in the morning. I have to adjust my wake up time going forward if I want to run more than 4 to 5 miles, but I’m going to take the success for what it is right now
January 10th: I fully was set in the fact that there was no way I was getting in 6 miles after work. Throughout the day, I convinced myself that it would be too hard and that I would find myself only running 3 miles. Which would be fine! It’s fine! I didn’t want to run in the morning because my husband had to work late so I didn’t want to have him wake up because the dog can’t settle. So after work I got home, later than expected, but not really as things go these days. I did a few things and then I laced up and I put on a 45 minute Peloton class. I added to that and got 5.5 miles done. The entire day/night ended up being later than expected but I’m glad that I got it done and I feel proud of myself for that.
January 11th: I lied to myself saying I’d do 5 inside and 5 outside in the snow because it was pretty. I did a 45 minute Peloton class that has 22 minutes of incline which I held! Becs had some good focusing tidbits and it didn’t hurt my legs so that felt good. I, of course, stayed on the tread, convincing myself that’ll be too much of a pain to change, the roads might be dangerous, and I was in a groove of some sort. The run went well and I was particularly proud of myself for getting it done today because I had a tighter schedule on Sunday. This was a day that I just felt content with my running and decisions
January 12th: I was pretty optimistic this weekend about the things I want to take it done. I’m about 80% the way through my to do list and the things that I haven’t done can actually wait. I was able to get 4 miles in before Dear Evan Hansen which was fantastic. Not the run. The run was actually kind of shitty but so it goes. Nothing in particular, just hard and hilly. Dear Evan Hansen was fantastic and I’m so glad I made the decision to go.
