Weekly Review

I hope everyone has had a great couple weeks!  I missed last week's wrap up but I hadn't had any work outs that week anyway.  I'm happy to say I got more working out in this week and, fingers crossed, my foot seems to be holding up ok.  Maybe that pesky tendinitis is finally gone.  

Monday - 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes in the weight room at the gym

Tuesday - Rest day

Wednesday - I was still sore from the weights Monday so I made this a yoga day

Thursday - rest day

Friday - 30 minute run in the morning. 

   

We also had a little staycation in the city and got a hotel room for the evening.  We were able to go out to dinner, see a show, and have drinks with a friend afterward!  All of this without worrying about getting back to Maryland afterward.

Saturday - We had a leisurely morning and slept in.  Then I took advantage of the hotel gym, which had a peleton bike and did a 30 minute class.

We also had a nice brunch in town before heading back home.

Sunday - Yoga and strength training at home in the evening.

We also spent some time on errands, getting ready to travel this week for Thanksgiving, and playing with kitties since they missed us while we were gone for one day :)

So I'm hopeful this week will go well with the working out too.  I think I'm going to keep trying to have a lot of variety in my workouts instead of just spending most of my time running and hopefully that will help as well.  I definitely want to keep some yoga in my routine.  Here's a tentative plan for the week.

Monday - Barre video

Tuesday -30 minute run

Wednesday - Rest day and flying to Ohio

Thursday - 45 minute run

Friday - Yoga

Saturday - 45 minute run

Sunday - Yoga + strength training

Weekly Review

Whew, it's been a busy couple weeks.  I missed posting entirely last week so I'm happy to be back with a quick review.  The reason that it was so busy was that I had a conference last week (at least it was local so no traveling out of town needed) and the week before that I had a couple work events as well.

But I haven't been working out.  One of the events I had a couple weeks ago was a co-workers anniversary celebration at the zoo.  It involved a couple hours of walking (slow walking) but unfortunately, that caused my foot pain to flare up again.  So I figured it needed a couple more weeks of rest to try to get it to go away for good.  Of course, rest is relative since there was just lots of walking involved at my conference, getting from the metro to various destinations, etc.  But I'm hopeful this period of rest will do the trick and I can get back to working out this week.

Here are some photos of what I've been doing in the past couple weeks :)

 

Lots of work stuff.  Here are some photos from a co-workers anniversary celebration at the zoo

 

Halloween ended up rainy but we still had a good number of kids come by

 

I've been able to spend a lot of time catching up with friends.  And even getting some cuddle time in with their pups :)

I got back to working out yesterday.  I thought I'd start with something other than running so went back to Zengo for a class.  I think it's been 2 years since I was there but I really enjoyed the class.

So that's it for the past couple weeks.  I hope that my foot holds up with adding in working out this week.  But I'm planning to keep any runs short - just 30 to 45 minutes.  Here's the tentative plan.

Monday - 30 minute run

Tuesday - yoga (we might get snow!)

Wednesday - Strength training

Thursday - rest day

Friday - 30 minute run

Saturday - Strength training

Sunday - 45 minute run
