This is my last Summer Weekly Workout installment.
The reason I started doing this was to share with you some of the workouts I do- running or otherwise. But I have to be honest, I get bored writing about the workouts I do every day! I enjoyed it better when I would randomly share a workout I did that I thought was interesting or I thought would give you some ideas for your own workouts.
What is the consensus? Readers, do you mind if I go back to that?
Here is what I was up to this week + 1 day...
Friday- 9 hot miles at Codorus State Park
Saturday- Impromptu 5k w/ a 2 mile cool down. Then chest, shoulders, triceps, abs in my living room while watching Dateline.
Sunday- 7 Miles of hills at Willow Mill Park.
Tuesday- A run I thought would be bad but it was actually good! 5 miles @ 8:21 pace.
Wednesday-
Thursday- 5 miles, no Garmin run.
Friday- RESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!
Cons- I am feeling... lost with my training. I don't know what my goals are so I don't know how to train for them. More on this soon.
How were your workouts this week?
Do you enjoy a weekly wrap up of each of my workouts or would you prefer I simply highlight the more "interesting" ones you could get ideas from?

I used to do a weekly wrap up but then life got busy and I quit doing it, I do like being able to look back and see what I did. I don't plan things out well, so it always helps me to see what I already did.
ReplyDeleteThat is the good part- if you don't plan, you can at least see what you did and know if you are doing the right things whether you planned them out or not! I just get bored creating the pictures and writing up the blog posts about the workouts.
DeleteYes, keep doing the weekly workout wrap ups! I love them. You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy training this week was good: 2 walk/runs (total 9 miles), 2 swims (total 3.1 miles), 2 bike rides (total 35 miles), 2 weight/abs sessions. Tomorrow is my rest. My weeks tend to look the same but I am OK with that. Helps me stay balanced and make sure I don't over work one area and neglect the other area.
Have a MOST wonderful weekend. Just did a sunrise bike ride around my town.
I finally got a motorcycle helmet so Rick and I are taking a Harley ride (I ride on the back of his bike) to Boulder for Farmer's Market and picnic at Chatauqua Park in Boulder. Beyond excited.
That is a good balanced weeks of workouts, Susan! Whenever you tell me about your swimming, it makes me want to do it. But it would require paying $40 for a gym instead of $10! BOULDER!!!??? Have a BLAST! As you know, I am quite fond of Boulder. :)
DeleteI know you love Boulder probably as much as I do! So if you and Paul ever make it back to Colorado we will meet you there. It did not disappoint. People watching in full force on the Pearl Street Mall.
DeleteI wish you could find a more reasonable place to swim. It really is such a good, all over workout .... with no pounding (which is what my body loves).
Hey, have a great Sunday.
It's a deal! I think I want to stay in Boulder the next time we go. I feel like there is so much more to do up there that we didn't!
DeleteHey, it's your blog -- do what you want! I like weekly recaps, but I also like it when you feature one unique workout that I can steal. :) I can't wait to hear about your plan to get rid of that lost feeling!
ReplyDeleteOh I don't have a plan YET. I was going to write something and hope for some help from you guys. :)
DeleteI like the weekly wrap but also understand the time factor. I thick that no matter how you do it people will keep reading!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a good week of training for me - good runs and plenty of strength work.
Great! Glad you got in some awesome runs and strength. :) Strong = fast!
DeleteI enjoy your weekly workout recaps. :) I also like when you post a workout I might like to try. :) Cat pictures are always good too, ;)
ReplyDeleteDarnit! Everyone likes the weekly list! Hahaha. Glad you like cat pics because I sure do like Lola pics.
DeletePersonally, I enjoy reading about people's work outs and it is fun the first couple of weeks. After a few weeks, I don't seem to enjoy them that much. I also feel the same way when I do weekly recaps about training. It's tough to balance. I personally enjoy writing about either a bad run or a really great run :) :)
ReplyDeletePS~ At first, when I saw "last edition: - I thought it meant that your school year was starting!
Ooh well it is the last for 2 reasons- school, and i am just sick of it hehehe
