I can’t believe the last week of the year is over. I had so much fun with the kids and relaxing with family. It was a great little vacation. I’m not quite ready for it to be over yet.
Here’s what my week of workouts looked like:
Sun--run 10 miles outside
Mon--back and biceps plus some legs
Tues--treadmill run 8 miles
Wed--legs with extra legs and some bicep curls
Thurs--treadmill run 7 miles
Fri--REST
Sat--run 8 miles outside
My workouts this week were pretty good. I enjoyed sleeping in a little bit and getting in some extra moves. I still had to get up early to get hubby off to work, but it was nice knowing that I could send him off and then head back downstairs for more. It was also nice that the kids slept in and I could take a nap after breakfast if I felt tired. I could also spend some time for myself in the mornings before they woke up. I got to watch what I wanted on TV and enjoy my coffee in peace and quiet. It was very nice. I did end up taking Friday off since we stayed up really late for New Year's Eve and ended up sleeping in really late. We played games in our jammies all day and just hung out. It was really fun and relaxing. I finally got my butt outside on Saturday to run. The roads were still pretty icy, so I’m going to have to switch up my normal routes, but that’s what I get for living in Wisconsin.
I know I posted my goals for 2016 earlier this week. I purposely didn’t post a yearly mileage goal because I tend to get overwhelmed when I post a lengthy goal like that and I’m not sure how many miles I am going to be able to run this year. Last year I totally overdid my miles early in the year and that is what brought on my plantar fasciitis. So I’m worried about overdoing it again. I would love to be able to run 2016 miles in 2016 since I did actually get really close by running 1985 miles this year. I haven’t signed up for the runtheyear2016.com challenge yet and I don’t know if I will, but I did set a goal on Runkeeper to run 2016 miles this year. I want to see how close I can get to this number. I kinda want to register for the challenge though, since I can get a t-shirt and a finisher medal. I can partner up with someone, but I am so competitive that I would love to do this all on my own. I don’t know. I really like bling!! I’ll decide soon, but until then, I am just going to enjoy running however many miles I want. I love running and I love challenging myself, but I don’t want to out run my love of the sport. I feel like I have been a little burnt out after my marathon training and I am finally getting back to loving running. Even on the treadmill at times! I am excited for my races this year and to achieve my fitness goals. Whether or not I make this goal of running 2016 miles this year, I am going to be happy with however many miles I run and the fitness goals that I achieve this year.
What are your fitness and / or running goals this year??
And as always, my friends,
RUN ON,
Laura
