Weekly Workouts!

37 miles this week?
6 days of running?
WHO AM I!????


Saturday- 8 treadmill miles.  I had no clue how far I would run. Two miles turned into three, which turned into four, which turned into six... Then I went into the locker room to shower so I could catch a movie at the theater next door. Unfortunately, I forgot a towel. I was frustrated so I ran two more miles.

Sunday- 7 treadmill miles and two deck of cards workouts. I remembered my towel so I showered and saw a movie! It was A Star is Born. I did not like it.

Monday- Lifting at Planet Fitness. I didn't mention this but I did something stupid with my shoulder a couple weeks ago and it was bothering me. I eased up on the lifting since then and now it feels pretty good.

Tuesday- 5 neighborhood miles. I had a doctor appointment that morning so I took a half day off work. Since I ran later than normal, it was light out and I got to venture over to a park nearby via a paved trail. It's pretty! 

On my way back home, when I was on the paved trail I caught my toe on something and my body PROPELLED forward through the air. It was the BIGGEST almost fall I ever had. If I had not been able to catch myself and regain balance, I would have broken an arm or two. I was pretty shook up after that.


Why do I look high?
This was taken 2 miles before the almost fall!

Wednesday- Deck of cards workout and 3 miles. I felt strong and enjoyed this run.

Thursday- 6 neighborhood miles. My Garmin didn't turn on for some reason and I didn't notice until I was halfway through the run. It was pretty darn cold but I loved it. The perfect way to start Thanksgiving.

Friday- 8 miles on the trail with my Daddio. We met at Detweiler Park and ran a couple loops. Even though the temps were frigid, we warmed up very quickly. The time ticked by so fast! We saw several deer and it was just beautiful. I love running trail!



Funny story: I keep my trail shoes in my carport. Since it was very cold out, I wanted to wait to change into them when I got to the trail. Paul was still asleep and I didn't want to wake him up by opening the closet to get out another pair of shoes to wear in the car. So I had to go down to the basement and see what shoes I had down there. I ended up in get my red boots I always wear at Christmas time!


I got a couple weird looks when I stopped at Hardeez to go to the bathroom!


How were your workouts this week?
Did you ever have a really bad fall or a really close call?

  1. I fell once when I was lost, shortly after I had moved to a new town. Skinned up my knee and hand pretty bad but had to figure out how to get home. My first human sighting ended up being a man who was walking into work at an auto repair shop, so he let me wash up, gave me a bandaid, and gave me directions to a street I knew. I sent him a dunkin donuts gift card later!

    1. As that was so nice of you! That must have been scary not only to fall but fall when lost.

    2. In this case I definitely fell BECAUSE I was lost... I was looking up trying to decide where to go based on the position of the sun, haha.

  2. I have fallen more times while running than I can count. Just this year I have fallen twice. I am SUPER klutzy :(

  3. I've propelled a few times while running on my trail in the woods but fortunately have never fallen or got hurt. The trail you were on looks lovely!
