Week 4 - running recap
Week 4 – running recap
WD4D1 – D4: Friday to Monday I reached my daily goal just by moving offices all day every day. The team came together and from early morning until late night did not stop for a second. It was all over competitions week, when you don’t sleep for days just work-work-work. I definitely feel that I am getting older. In the past I used to be able to handle such days with humour and having energy. But…

Week 3 – running recap
This was my birthday week 🙂 I have let myself down by not being able to run the HM as mentioned in my previous post. But I have managed to properly celebrate the last 30 years. I said my goodbyes to certain habits. And I am fully ready to take on board the next 30 years feeling strong and committed. WD3D1: Friday The only reason why I reached my daily goal was because we went shopping after work.…

week 2 – running recap
This week was all about work. Unfortunately not physical one, which means I hadn’t managed to fit in any runs all week. It made me doubt myself if I should really pursue with my goal to run the Richmond Half Marathon. It didn’t help that I was on a nine days work marathon either. Ciccio WD3D1 – D6: I literally just slept, went to work, came home and slept again. I ate anything that was…

Week 1 - Running Recap
Week 1 – Running Recap
Hello Friday! Now that you are here it is time to recap this week’s fitness activities: W01D1: Last Friday I ran around the East side of Virginia Water Lake. I generally follow the hidden path to the bushes then swing around towards Guards Polo Club. From there I take the lake on my right hand and jog back to the car park. It happened to be a 7.5 km in total, which is not bad for a first long run…

The day after a long run, to me, is very indicative of how I did. For example, soreness= I worked hard. Pain= I pushed it too hard. Starving=I did not eat enough. Swollen hands= not enough water. And well, the list goes on
This morning I woke and can give the following synopsis:
I woke up with my legs sore, but manageable. Since I stretched 3 times yesterday, took an ice bath, and foam rolled, I would say I am in good shape. Like I said yesterday, I feel strong! I can see greater definition in my legs (nice, but possibly temporary because they are just tight.) I feel good!
Foot: Hurting:( Not my whole foot, but the ball of my pink toe is SO SORE! I am not totally sure why. I am not incapacitated, and I think I am fine, but I will be wearing my comfy Crocs for the next few days, I am sure.
Shoulder soreness: This is very indicative of that fact that I am running too tight. My arms and shoulders need to be more relaxed. This is no surprise to me. I need to work on this.
I woke up starving!!!! Like so hungry it is not even funny. I started off the morning with my Chai Tea because I am deciding what I want to eat for breakfast. Probably an apple and toast and peanut butter. Hmmm:)
Water: I actually feel like I drank plenty of fluids yesterday:) I had to stop at a gas station to buy more water. I consumed 60 ounces of water on my run yesterday and needed every sip! (probably because I started off dehydrated)
That is pretty much my running recap.
In other news....
My RoadIDwas shipped today! I am so excited. Initially when I read about these, I was apprehensive and too cheap to buy one, then I realized how important they are.
Basically, if anything happened to me, my medical information and contact numbers would be accessible. This is not only for running outside, but I realized if something were to ever happen to me at the gym, people would not necessarily know who I am. So, I took the hit (ok not much of a hit it's only $20) and bought one. I got the one for my shoe for a few reasons. First off, I dont like anything sweating on my arm (I hardly like to wear a watch when I run) also, I got the one for my shoe because then I will never lose it.
I am so excited AND it comes in 3 days!!!!
It has a place for you to put additional information or an inspiring quote. I put "fit and fabulous" and I pretty much love it already.
If you want to get one, I got this code you can use. Here is the Coupon Number: ThanksEmily8179104
I dont think I get any credit if you use it or not, but it gives you $1 off. I would suggest anyone who exercises gets one:)
Well my friends that is it for the morning. Debating whether or not I am going to spin this morning. I WANT to, but my body is going to kill me. I think I probably will, but I need to get some food in my system and my legs moving before I can think of doing anything fitness related!
