Weekly Wrap...April 1

This week started out with cool temps but ended up being beautiful by the end of the week.  Here's how my week went.

Sunday- After running 7 miles on Sunday I finally went and got a well-deserved massage. The lady that I usually go to was actually on vacation so I went to someone else who was just as good, and didn’t hurt me like my usual lady does. It was definitely a relaxing massage with just the right pressure. It was pretty cold and windy out so I didn’t do too much the rest of the day except for catching up with some tv shows.  

Monday- I didn’t sleep well the night before. The wind just wouldn’t let up and I heard it howling pretty much throughout the night. I finally decided to get up and it was early enough that I made it to two classes before work, Body Step and body Pump. After taking two classes and working all day, I wasn’t about to go for a run after work, besides it was still pretty windy and cold out. 

Tuesday- It was my day off so I decided to sleep in. Since it was my day off I knew I wanted to go for a long run. I ended up doing 11 miles. This was my longest run post marathon and I actually felt pretty good throughout the run. I ran on my local trail mid-afternoon. It was pretty quiet except for a few squirrels scampering amongst the bushes. It seems like everything is always amplified when you are out in the woods by yourself and you can hear every little thing. Also I didn’t have one of my ear buds in so I could hear things more than I usually do. It was in broad daylight but I won’t lie that I looked back a few times thinking there was something or someone behind me. Any time I would pass a person walking or running I would think, I wonder why they are out here at this time of day, they must have a flexible schedule like mine. 

Wednesday- I did another Body Pump class and ran an easy 5 miles before going into work. It was finally starting to warm up. 

Thursday- Today was the warmest day so far this week. It was already in the mid 60s when I woke up and was expected to get into the 80s later. I wanted to get a run in right way because I had plans that afternoon. I did 7 miles in the beautiful weather. I am glad that I got up early enough to complete it because it did get quite warm later in the day. After my run I had plans to meet a friend for brunch. 

After brunch I decided to treat myself to a Duck Donut, because after all I did run 7 miles. It was a new spring flavor they were featuring, a key lime donut with a graham cracker crumble. I really wanted to like this and I did for the most part, but I wish they would have more of the key lime flavoring on it. There was too much graham cracker that was taking away from the key lime flavor. 

Friday- It was another beautiful day and I did 6 easy miles before work. That evening I tried out IFly. It is a simulation of a sky diving experience (well so I heard). I will write more of an in depth review of my experience later this week.   

Saturday- It was another long day at work which started out too early to get a run in beforehand. After work I opted out of my runs for some girl time instead. I was feeling a bit guilty for not getting a run in because they offered free lunch this day and even brought in duck donuts!  

And that's a wrap! I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy Easter! -L
