What a random weekend that was . . . between locking my keys in my car, almost losing my wallet, and having my pup almost eat us out of house and home, the weekend was a bit off.
But that doesn’t mean it was without it’s highlights!
With that said, I am ready to tackle this new week :).
I started last week with my rest day, and I actually REALLY think that worked well for my body. While I LOVE starting out the week with a good work out, sometimes it’s nice to be able to look forward to sleeping in, relaxing, and slowly starting your week after a GOOD workout Sunday.
Which is exactly what I did.
Rest this AM, but I do have some planned YOGA for the PM. I haven’t done a dedicated yoga session in a little while, and I think my body will thank me 🙂
Breakfast
What a lucky girl I am, I even had a husband who made me some delicious oatmeal. It includes:
- milk
- maple syrup
- blueberries
- flax seed
And of course, I added some dried fruit (peaches and apples) to it. . . I LOVE dried fruit with hot oatmeal!
Hello healthy! Thanks, Babe! 🙂
With a rest day today, I plan to eat healthy and well, let my body reboot, and then dive into a good week of runs and work outs.
Workout Plan For The Week
- Monday- YOGA
- Tuesday – 4 Mile speed Am/POSSIBLE PM 3 miles easy
- Wednesday – 4 miles easy
- Thursday: 5-6 miles easy pace
- Friday – 4 miles
- Saturday – 2 miles/SKI
- Sunday – SKI – possible PM run
Zach and I are planning on staying in Winter Park for the weekend, so I want to focus my energy on skiing and not running for the time being. With that said, you never know where you can squeeze a few miles in ;).
And just like that, it’s time for work. Have a great Monday morning everyone!
Question of the Morning: What’s your favorite way to start a healthy week?
So jelly of all the skiing!! I’m getting ready to start training again (for nothing in particular), but skiing would be the best cross training!!
Have you started thinking about 2014 races yet??? Possible Full distance? I’m still struggling!
Lol I’ve thought about some of the races, but only halves! I decided that I want to “master” the half (aka get my goal time) first. Which races are you thinking about??
I haven’t thought too much yet — possibly Steamboat Springs again, and possibly Chicago…but I REALLY don’t know!
I know…it’s so hard to decide!
I love to start with hot yoga which I’ve definitely been slacking on recently. I’m so jealous of skiing, I’ve only been once! Also, I love a good run to start the week off right 🙂
I miss hot yoga!
I’m planning on yoga tonight too..after yesterday’s 5k I feel like my body needs to stretch and relax. I’m hoping *fingers crossed* to run tomorrow as it’s my only day this week I can run at lunch.
My fingers will be crossed that the yoga gives your body what it needs to be ready tomorrow! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Sunday’s I try to get as much cooking in as possible, so Monday I have the chance to relax from cooking and concentrate on workouts and meditation. I found that if I meditate on my lunch hour on Mondays I am able to get through the rest of the work day without a problem, I also have a clear train of thought to plan out the rest of the week. I also go to Bikram on Mondays when possible :]
That is actually a great idea!
I have a lot more time on Sundays than to make individual meals during the week. I am the queen of Tupperware!
Also resting today! Ran a 50K on Saturday.
AMAZING!
Skiing is a great workout, enjoy it!
Okay I think you’ve officially inspired me to do a little home yoga tonight. Do you follow a certain video or anything? PS is that a bloody mary I see? My fav!
Ironically enough — my post that is set to publish in just a few minutes is all about online yoga and strength routines I love from youtube! I am all about free work outs!
Hahaha perfect timing! I will be patiently awaiting the next post then! 🙂
Meal prep on Sunday or Monday night after work is a must. Then I create my workout schedule and meal plan for the week! I love that mug!
Zach and I plan meals Saturday when we go grocery shopping. . . but only dinner!
So jealous you are going to winter park, have fun!
Thanks! 🙂
