- Adding in a 4th, and eventually 5th (!!) day of running each week
BAH!!! 5???!! Go you! Great commitment! I struggle to get 4!
Once that was done, I changed into my running shoes and headed outside for a whopping 0.5-mile run before I could talk myself out of it. Again, my legs were a little sore, and this seemed to take forever (5:18, so...not really forever), but I got it done. I realize that running for 5 minutes doesn’t seem like much, but it was a bigger mental challenge than anything to actually get myself to do it after finishing lifting, and I feel like it’s probably smarter to start small with this and increase the distance slowly (same goes for my weekly distance, which is going to dip down over the next couple of weeks as I add in the additional running days). The bigger challenge will be waking up early enough to get everything in once the runs get longer (which I did NOT do today)!
The mental challenges are sometimes the hardest to get over so getting on that threadmil after lifting is much bigger than the distance... GO YOU!
And after finally carrying a Harveys bag for an extended period of time...I think I like it a lot better than my Dooneys, which are sort of a chore to carry - what if it rains? What if I get something on them? What if the pattern bleeds? Plus, I just really like how this bag looks, the shape of it, and the fact that Harveys bags are cheaper than Dooneys and American-made. So I think this is the start of my switching out my Dooneys for Harveys bags (by "switching out" I mean "selling my Dooneys on Facebook). I've sold 1 big one so far (and was able to buy 2 Harveys bags for what I got from that sale!) and have 2 more up for sale.
What happened to that disclaimer we spoke about!!! haha
Your posts make me want to buy ALL THE THINGS
And last, but most definitely not least...today is my and Mr. A’s 7-year wedding anniversary! Love him so, so much.
Congratulations!! You two look so adorable in your photographs, I love it!
Tuesday, May 17 (2-mile run)
Good run today! I tried something different - rather than do my run/walk intervals, I actually did this entire run all the way through without stopping!
My Dad and sister have started doing this as well and considering we will be running the Dublin Rock 'n' Roll Half together I'm thinking I need to as well. Just getting back into my running now though so one step at a time! I'm interested to hear how this goes for you over the next while..
Wednesday, May 18 (1x800 @ 5K pace - 2 miles total)
Big day today - my first speed workout! I mean...not my first one EVER, but definitely my first in over a year.
UGH I need to start this two... BLEUGH
ALSO - my April Fu track suit from INKnBURN arrived today and I FREAKING LOVE IT (photo credit: Mr. A). Is it loud? Yes. Do I look like a walking, talking homage to Bruce Lee? Yes (hence the name "April Fu"). Is it the most comfortable thing ever? Also yes. Am I normally a question talker? No.
Also...go Cavs
HAHAHAHAHAHA I love your serious face in these photos!!! Looks super comfy!
Seems like a great week for you, lots of mini achievements to celebrate. Hope this week is going just as well...
Oh and PS... I DID SOMETHING CRAZY... Complete impulse booking to go back to the world THIS September with my sister...
