The end of Week 11, and it’s time for the weekly recap. I’m not gonna lie; it ain’t pretty. I really thought I did more than I apparently did, but the Strava don’t lie! The (lack of) stats:
Sunday, 9/3: 12-hour work day
Monday, 9/4: 12-hour work day
Tuesday, 9/5: Unplanned rest day
Wednesday, 9/6: 8-hour work day
Thursday, 9/7: I got nuthin’
Friday, 9/8: 45 minute strength training
Saturday, 9/10: 35 minute cardio/10 minute strength training
Oh well, take it all in stride and move on. This coming week will be lackluster as well with my son’s wedding coming up in just five (five!) days. Hey, I’ll get enough of a workout on the dance floor, right?
How is your fall race training going? Who all is running either Chicago or MCM?
At least you got in a few workout, better then a full week off!
I have my half marathon this weekend and can’t wait!
Good luck to you! Can’t wait to read the recap!
12 hour work days sound tough!
I’ve been doing them for 35 years, so I’m used to it. They are long, but allow for extra days off during the week!
You have such a great outlook!
What can I do…I’d love to train perfectly, but life gets in the way!
wow you worked a lot this week! What is your job?
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. We work a mix of 8, 10, 12, or 24 hour shifts! And of course, weekends, holidays, nights, etc.
I don’t know how you do those 12-hour work days – you’re amazing!
I’ve been doing them so long they seem ‘normal’!
Hope all goes well with your son’s big day! Enjoy every minute of it!
Thank you! We are so very excited!!!
Ha! I love your Thursday. “I got nuthin’.”
Weddings are so much fun! Congrats to you and your family!!
I don’t even know what happened that day! No excuses…and thanks! We are all so happy and excited!
We all have those tough weeks! My week last week wasn’t great either – started a new program and plan today and I already feel more motivated!
It will be tough to get my workouts in this week, but I’ll do what I can!
Aw I hope you enjoy your son’s wedding this weekend! We do what we can as far as workouts go! Sometimes they have to be put last.
As long as I’m still moving and standing upright I will do okay!
Yeah but wedding adrenaline counts for a lot. Yay for wedding week! So exciting!
We are so very happy and excited! This week will be pretty much a crapshoot with getting the workouts in. At least yesterday was my last work day before the wedding. And the weather is looking to be absolutely perfect!
At least you got 2 days in! That night on the dance floor you will make up for the week and I will help you! Excited for the big day!!
We are so very excited! You vacation pics look great–can’t wait to hear all about it!
Well, I’d say the plentiful 12-hour work days count for something! I have a hunch you’re not slumped over a desk and seated the entire time (?)
That’s for sure! I’m on my feet and on the move much of the time at work.
LOL. Weeks like that happen. I hope the wedding goes off without a hitch — except for the getting-hitched. 😉
Haha funny. So far it’s all be smooth sailing, and it looks like the weather will be perfect.
I could not do 12 hours days any more. That’s pretty much a workout in itself. And then you need the next day to recover! Good luck this weekend. I can’t wait to hear about the wedding!
We all experience weeks like this one! Keep up the awesome work and I wish you luck for the marathon!
Thanks so much!
