A big Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow moms!
May is off to a fast start – and, as I mentioned over coffee, I don’t expect things to slow down any time soon! And, even while my workouts were a bit pared down this week, I am thankful for them. Here’s a quick peek at how my week played out.
Week 18 – Mother’s Day Edition
Monday — 2-mile walk, Lower Body Strength, Core & Stretch
Tuesday — 1.7-mile walk, otherwise rest day.
Wednesday — 3-mile run, Core & Stretch
Thursday — 2.5-mile walk, Upper Body Strength & Stretch
Friday — 3-mile run, Core & Stretch
Saturday — 2-mile walk & Yoga
Sunday — 5-mile run, Core & Stretch
With things heating up schedule-wise, early morning workouts were a must. And, while still unseasonably chilly, I’ve been rewarded with some beautiful mornings.
Running continues to feel pretty good, and I was even rewarded with negative splits on Friday’s run! Most importantly, my hip has been fairly quiet. A win! And, my #optoutside streak continues at Day 39.
This week will be crazy busy and I have a feeling that carving out some time for myself will be especially important.
How was your week?
I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Join us!
It seems like everyone is really busy with their jobs now! it’s like we are all making up for lost time. I am so glad I work part-time because when I am at work, it is insane. Make sure that you take care of yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in all that busyness!
So true Wendy about getting caught up in the busyness. I’m trying hard to strike a balance.
Happy Mother’s Day to you as well! I hope you have some time to relax today.
Glad your hip is feeling better. Mine is too! The hip gods must be smiling on us.
Yay – glad to hear your hip’s been feeling better – I hope that streak continues!
Glad to hear your hip is happy!
Good luck with your busy week.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Good news about the hip.
Hope you had a nice day and the week is better than you hope.
Thanks Darlene 🙂
Glad the hip is staying quiet and nice work on those negative splits!
Thanks Jessie – I’m always happy when the hip is quiet.
My work has been especially busy in recent weeks, as well. It’s a good problem (in theory), but it does up the stress. I’m so glad to hear the hip is playing nice!!! YOU are rocking all those walks, great job!!
Thank you Kim – it’s been nice to have the walks consistently back in the mix.
So glad your hip is feeling better and you got outside everyday this week. Let’s hope the week ahead is good as well. Way to fit it all in. Happy mother’s day!
Thanks for the good wishes, Deborah. I hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
May always seems to be bananas and work stress is piled right on top of it this year. You shared some gorgeous scenery this week. Hope your Mother’s Day was nice!
I know your schedule has been crazy too – I hope things quiet down for you!
I’m happy to hear that your hip has been feeling good lately! Awesome week of workouts and I have been loving your morning run photos too 🙂
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Thanks so much Kim! I hope you have a great week ahead!
Congrats on a happy hip & the negative splits!
Hope you do manage to carve out a little me time this week. Even 5 minutes can really make a difference!
I’m definitely working on preserving a little me-time – fingers-crossed this week isn’t too hectic.
