Weekly Workout Roundup

I'm going to link up with Meghan at Little Girl in the Big World for the Weekly Workout Roundup!

This week was a bit of a bummer in regards to my workouts...again!  I am in grad school (only 4 weeks left, thankfully!) and I had 2 big papers due this week and I had gotten a bit behind on work so it took me a couple days to catch up. Add on to schoolwork the fact that I can't do my weekday runs until after the kids are asleep at night it can make for some late nights!

This is what my schedule looked like this week:

Week	Mon	Tues	Weds	Thurs	Fri	Sat	Sun
6	Stretch & strengthen	4 m run	2 m run or cross 4 mile run 45:04	4 m run + strength 4 mile run 45:03	Rest or easy run	5-K Race Bobcat Hustle 29:26	6-7 mile run Planned strength: 50 each: pushups squats situps 20 burpees 15 minutes with the weighted hula hoops  2 minute plank

Monday and Tuesday were wasted on the couch writing papers =(

Wednesday and Thursday were treadmill runs.  I felt REALLY good on my Wednesday run.  I set it on a fairly slow speed, popped Harry Potter and the DH part 1 in my laptop and watched while I ran.  It seemed like I was done before I knew it.  Thursday was a different story.  Same movie, same speed, and it drug.  I finished though and that's what counted.

Saturday I ran my first 5k ever! It was so much fun and I am going to do a race recap but I came in 45/117 with my time of 29:26.5.  I placed 16/69 of females and ended up with 1st in my age division!

And that brings us to tonight, Sunday. I had every intention of getting in a long run this weekend even though it wasn't scheduled but I don't think that is going to happen. The kiddos had some nasty attitudes today because they were tired so I had them take a nap which in turn means a later bedtime and possibly some fighting sleep.  All of that is not a good combination for a late night run. Instead I am going to do some strength tonight which is normally my Monday and do a long run tomorrow night. I feel that I am catching the kiddos cold that I have managed to stave off the last 2 weeks so those 7 miles should be fun tomorrow =).

Happy Running!
