Weekly Workouts!

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...


I ran 37 miles this week! No "long" runs, but a couple 8-9 milers helped up my mileage.


Saturday- 8 neighborhood miles. It was sunny and warmish. I never thought I'd make it 8 miles because as soon as I hit the streets, I felt so heavy and my whole body felt creaky. After a mile, I stopped to stretch, then I felt better. Look what I saw laying in the middle of the road!


I passed a guy taking down his Christmas decorations. "Not yet!" I pleaded with him as I ran by. He laughed.

Sunday- 9 miles in my hometown of Millersburg. On a whim, I decided to drive up to Millersburg and run there. My plan was to do 8 miles but a ventured pretty far out of town and ended up with 9. This was a hilly run and I really pushed the pace because I didn't want to be late for lunch with my mom. Millersburg is beautiful!


Monday- Lifting back @ home. I felt strong during this workout but I was getting waves of nausea. No clue why. It sucked. I really thought I was going to puke, poop my pants, or both.

Tuesday- 6 morning miles in SHORTS. Later on that day, it got up to 70 degrees! All the snow is melted.



Wednesday- 8 miles in shorts! Pennsylvania weather is so crazy in February and March. This past weekend we had a snow storm and now I'm running in shorts during the week! I had so many good podcasts to listen to, which is basically why I ran a little longer than normal. I run so I can listen to podcasts. Makes total sense.

Thursday- 6 morning miles. SHORTS AGAIN!!!! When I was stretching, I took this picture of Jelly.




Friday- Lifting chest @ home. I was watching the CNN town hall discussion about gun violence and bawling as I did my planks. It's hard to plank and cry. Chrissy hijacked my towel at one point...


When was the last time you ran OUTSIDE in shorts?

  1. I ran outside in shorts on Wednesday bc that was the last day I ran outside. I'll run outside in shorts in a few minutes when I head out to run too. I actually do remember the last time I ran outside in pants... it was about 3 weeks ago.

    Looks like some solid runs and workouts! All your runs were sorta long even if none were really "long". Glad you got to run some different places, lift, and have lunch with your mom.

  2. This is too funny, for a moment there I literally thought I was having dejavu! I knew all about you finding the drumstick and knew all about your run in Millersburg and lunch wit your mom! It's like I knew what you were going to say!

    Turns out I am not psychic, I went back through your weekly wrap up and realized, yea, I had already read about those incidents on Monday! Haha, there goes that career!

    I could have worn shorts on my outdoor run on Tuesday but put capris on because I wasn't quite sure. Wednesday I wore shorts for sure and even wished I had on a tank top instead of a short sleeve shirt.

    Do you think we will get one more snow in March?

    1. Yes, I DO think we will have snow in March.

      I included the drumstick because it was a weird thing to see on the road and I could picture you mentioning it if you saw it on one of your runs. :)

    2. Oh for sure! I tend to see all sorts of odd things on my runs. Is the drumstick still there?

  3. Chrissy looks so smug in that last picture, like "oh your mom can't lift as much as my mom? that's too bad for you." :D

    1. Thanks! I don't want it to creep up higher than that.
