A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! Back at it for another week. Even though I was kind of in a weird mood for the beginning of last week, I got back into my routine and felt a lot better. I didn’t work out too much the previous week, so I wanted to make sure I changed that. Even though I didn’t feel like going to the gym on Monday, I went and felt a lot better afterwards. After two good workouts on Monday and Tuesday, I was back in the swing of things and felt like myself. I’m not telling you to force yourself to go workout, but getting to the gym is sometimes the hardest part.

If you have noticed, marathon training has slowed down some – my friend hurt her foot and it has been put on hold for a few weeks. Right now we are trying to figure out if we want to continue and push for the race we were planning in mid October, or look for a new race. We haven’t bought anything yet for the race (our bib, flights, or hotels), so it would be easy to switch, but I was really feeling training.

I could keep pushing on myself, but I really like training with a friend. Marathon training by yourself is not that fun to be honest. So right now I’m just hitting a good HIIT workout a week and doing a few CrossFit workouts. Hopefully soon we will be back to running soon!
