Woohoo, bringing back the Manic Monday posts! I’m not actually in training for anything at the moment, but since I’m actually running now thanks to my run streak, I figure I might as well document it officially. After all, that’s what this blog is for, right? Right!
Monday 12/31/19: Rest
I ran around doing errands during the day, and then we were in bed before the New Year officially rolled around. #parentlife
Tuesday 01/01/19: 2 Mile Run
First official run of my New Year Run Streak!
Wednesday 01/02/19: 1 Mile Run + Core
While Vera napped, I zipped down to the treadmill for a quick mile, then did 10 minutes of core work.
Thursday 01/03/19: 2 Mile Run + 30 Squats
Another couple of treadmill miles plus some squats. I had hoped to do a few resistance band exercises, but it looks like the cats got after my last surviving band, and I had to throw it out. Boo!
Friday 01/04/19: 1 Mile Run + Stretch and Roll
I actually ran closer to 1.5 miles because the treadmill flipped a breaker during my first attempt and shut off. I had no idea what my actual distance or time were, so I just started over. I made sure to stretch and roll well to keep injury at bay.
Saturday 01/05/19: 30 Minute Barre3 Workout +1 Mile Run
My friend Penelope came over and we did a Barre3 total body workout video in my living room. That was my first time ever doing a barre workout and holy ow, Batman! It was tough! Then after she left I hit the treadmill for a quick mile to keep the streak alive.
Sunday 01/06/19: 1 Mile Run
I was feeling embarrassingly sore after Saturday’s Barre3 workout, so I just did a slow, easy mile for my streak.
One week of streaking down! I have to say, I feel pretty good. A bit tired and hungrier than usual, but very good. It feels nice to move my body regularly. I’m excited to see where streaking will take me!
How did the first week of the new year go for you?
Great job with the streak!
Lisa was just cleared to exercise again after the first of the year and is trying to align her schedule and exercise routine – we moved the elliptical from the basement to the guest bedroom last week to make life easier (we still haven’t finished re-doing the basement).
As for me … good week of running, ran every day except for yesterday when Lisa was off. Today was super cold with strong winds. Definitely prefer warmer weather!
Yeah, after Christmas I’m pretty much done with winter. Which is funny cause I live in northern Vermont 😂
Great job!!! I have been sick since New Year’s Day. No fun!!
Being sick is the WORST! Sending healing thoughts your way.
Thanks!!! I’ve not been sick for this long in ages!!!
Nice week! I so wish I had a treadmill! I have nowhere to put it though except maybe the garage and it’s 30* out there right now and that’s not inviting. Haha.
Yeah, I’m super lucky to have a basement that stays cool but not cold. It’s the perfect place for a ‘mill!
