Ah I have not been keeping up this blog! I am going to try to remember all my workouts.
Exercise: Monday (the 6th) = Rest Tuesday (the 7th) = I did an easy four mile run in the neighborhood first thing in the morning. Wednesday (the 8th) = Swimming with the triathletes--I believe our workout had a lot speed swims which were tough but good for me to do. Thursday (the 9th) = Track Run...a total of six miles. I did 1600 warm up, 1200, 2 x 600, 2 x 400, 1600 and 800 cool down all with 400 recovery. Friday (the 10th) = nothing. This was a very full busy day and my moods turned irritable by 5 PM. I couldn't motivate myself to go to the gym. Saturday = rest. Rob was gone all day at meetings and I couldn't get away but I got the whole house cleaned! Sunday (the 12th) = Long 12 mile run. I started earlier like 5:45 and it was pitch black out. I did the same route I did the week prior except ran through the Rees Hill neighborhood instead. Running on Battlecreek before the sun fully rose was very dark...probably not safe. I don't like my reflector vest besides it rides up. I feel like I am wearing all this extra gear just to run. Monday (the 13th) I rested and was a little sore. Tuesday (the 14th) was the day before we left for vacation. I did manage to squeeze a 4 mile run in to South Village Park and back. It was refreshing after chasing kids and packing all day. I was so thankful I was not feeling frazzled compared to other times we have gotten ready for a trip. Wednesday (the 15th) was a travel day and no exercise. Thursday (the 16th) I also rested. Friday (the 17th) I ran on the Virginia beach boardwalk about 4 miles which I love! There is nothing like running by the ocean seeing the sun rise surrounded by runners and walkers. Friday (the 17th) I rested but we did some walking and playing on the beach. Saturday (the 18th) I rested but again we did some walking. Sunday (the 19th) I ran the whole boardwalk which was about six miles...maybe slightly more. My goal was to do 8, but it was so incredibly windy. I was a little pressed for time as well. Monday (the 20th) was rest and traveling back home. Which bring me to today--the 21st. I ran 4 miles this afternoon. My body is tired from the travel and weird sleep schedule and time change. I was slower than normal but still appreciated the break in the day. I can rarely run in the afternoons anymore and it's a treat when I can.
Food: I didn't eat the greatest on vacation, but I don't feel guilty about it. It is going to be easy to get back into it again now we're home.
Sleep: I have sleeping great. Even on vacation! I normally don't sleep very well on vacation, but every night I slept amazing. That has helped with the transition as home. I feel a little irritable and tired but not the normal post vacation slump.
