Week of November 12-19
Wow, got a little off track with my journal….but the GREAT news is that I did not get off track with running and working out
I did however, have a serious cold that turned into a sinus infection -- but even that didn’t derail me!
I am doing a few things (too many things??) that are really helping with accountability.
I am doing a “Train Like a Mother” program called “Stride into the Holidays” -- a 4 week plan designed to be fun, and with a group Facebook page that is really active and encouraging.
A group in my town set up a holiday challenge with an active Facebook page - goal is daily exercise, whether is be a mile, 10,000 steps, etc. And this ties into my following the RW run streak from Thanksgiving to New Year’s -- I haven’t run every single day, but I have gotten 10,000 steps, ran, walked, or cross-trained.
Monday: 4 miles (10:06))
Tuesday: Strength training
Wednesday: 3.1 miles (10:34)
Thursday: Strength training
Friday: 2.74miles (Attended the Run4AllWomen documentary premiere with a group run beforehand --- I had the chance to run with the group when they did the Boston run this summer, an amazing, inspiring group if you aren’t familiar:

Saturday: Rest day/yard work
Sunday: 6.2 miles - felt great! In fact, I took it “easy” -- but when I got home and saved my Garmin entry, it told me I had achieved a 5k PR during the run?!? Does anyone count this? Or just race PRs??
Also, sharing my favorite picture from my long run:
