Walt Wednesday

Some people do a "Wordless Wednesday" post, where they simply share a photo or image, but I thought I'd make a little series out of my Wednesdays. And since I love alliteration so much, why not go with Walt Wednesdays (obviously everyone can use a little break from the seriousness, scariness and sassiness of life - and what better way to help put a smile on your face than with a cute wiener dog picture, am I right?!)... So, without further ado...

WALT WEDNESDAY!

When life gets overwhelming, how do you de-stress?

Workout Recap - Week 2

Sunday, January 5th  15 mile run

Monday, January 6th –  45 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, January 7th – 4 mile run

Wednesday, January 8th –  45 minutes on the stationary bike 

Thursday, January 9th – 4 mile lunchtime run

Friday, January 10th  Rest day

Saturday, January 11th – 7 mile run

My runs and workouts this week all went fine, but I do have a decision to make now. Due to the fires in LA, the Rose Bowl Half Marathon that I had on my calendar for next weekend has been postponed (which, in my opinion, is the absolute correct decision - I want all of the resources going to those communities... they do not need outsiders coming in and having to compete with those who have been displaced for the limited hotel space, food, etc). Also, I have not technically registered for the LA Marathon yet (my ASICS rep at work mentioned getting me a free entry, so I have been training as though I would be running it, but I can only ask nicely for something free so many times before I feel as though I am a pest). With all that said, I now need to decide if I want to continue training as-is, or if I should just run for fun-sies and do whatever I want, whenever I want. My long runs from here forward only get longer (17, 18, 20 miles) and if the race might not be happening, do I really want to spend 3-4 hours of my day running?! I guess that's what I'm going to have to decide. 

How were your workouts this past week?

Sunday, December 29th  14 mile run

Monday, December 30th –  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, December 31st – 4 mile run

Wednesday, January 1st –  45 minutes on the stationary bike (and then walking around Disneyland for 12 hours)

Thursday, January 2nd – Rest day

Friday, January 3rd  4 mile run

Saturday, January 4th – 7 mile run

I finally think I might be shaking that bug I had last week. WHOOO HOOO! Workouts this week went fine - felt a bit more like a slog than anything else, but at least I'm checking them off the list. I'll be honest and say that I'm a bit nervous heading into the longer runs on the training plan. I have felt like I've been starting over recently and seeing 15, 17, 20s on the calendar is a little overwhelming, but I keep telling myself just one step, one mile, one run at a time. WE GOT THIS!
