Weekly Workouts 09/30-10/06

Where did September go? Seriously, and where did this year go?!

I kind of fell off the workout wagon this week. I can't let school keep getting in the way or I'll start to feel flabby and not healthy like I did last year. I'm using the same workouts as last week since I didn't get around to doing them.

Running wasn't the greatest this week which makes me nervous because my half marathon is in 4 weeks! 

Tuesday I packed my running gear with me to go straight from class to the Running Room and was just having the crappiest day so I made the choice to skip running and just relax at home. 

Sunday (well yesterday) I didn't run with my group in the morning but went to church instead. So I ran later in the afternoon by myself. I miss the company of others!   

This week I'm hoping my runs are fantastic!  Check back next week ;)

Weekly Workout 09/02-09/08

Another week gone, seriously where does the time go. More importantly where did summer go?! School for me starts at noon tomorrow and I feel summer just begun. 

Anyways, this past week for workouts was pretty ok considering I was working later in the day than normal.

My runs were actually great. Past weeks when I'm cooling down from hills runs I'm sore and tired! But I ran with Karen on Thursday and by hill number 8, I felt like I could have kept going. On my long runs I've been getting bad leg cramps towards 9-10 kilometers and for the rest of the run I'm in pain. I was talking to my dad about what I could do that would stop the cramps and soreness, he said more gatorade and eat a gel earlier. I did both and guess what! NO CRAMPS! 

My goal for this week is continue to do my daily workouts and get into that routine with school starting so it sticks. 

This month I'm also going the 300/30 Day Ab Challenge. I did it over a year a go and got amazing results, no clue why I stopped. Flabby core be gone!

Weekly Workouts 08/26-09/01

Eating this week sucked so much. Actually, now that I think about it I'm pretty upset about my food habits this week. For one, I truly have no idea why I eat the packages of chips ahoy at 9:30am when I had something healthier to eat with me. Also, I went out for dinner for my co-workers Thursday and drank a lot which makes me upset. I hate drinking my calories. 

I also hardly tracked all week. Mostly in the morning but nothing in the evenings. No wonder I gained 2 lbs. 

Working out went good. I completed all workouts that I had planned to last week. I seriously miss swimming laps and have made a choice to do that once per week. Same feelings towards weights. 

This week will be a challenge as I'm working 12-7pm and not 9-5pm. It'll be fine to do weights and abs in the morning before work but not running. I'm not really a morning running for some reason.

Weekly Workouts 08/19-08/25

This week was okay for running. The past couple of weeks my tuesday runs have been bad. I feel like I'm not running naturally, a few kilometres in and I'm cramping up in my side or my legs are sore. I do think it's because my body isn't recovered from the Sunday long run. This past Sunday I spent much more time stretching. From now on I'm going to go swimming some time on Monday's to get the blood flowing and after wards do more stretching. I hope by doing this come Tuesday I can have a good 7km run.

I did well on making sure I workout my abs and arms this week. Did some abs moves on friday and still am sore! 

On the eating scene...I'm down 8 pounds since starting training for this half marathon! So happy to be seeing that new number. I know it's just a number but it makes me happy, okay? Still on weight watchers and slowly losing which is good for me. I am having a problem eating the crap food that is at work. The packages of cookies and treats people bring in. This week my goal is to eliminate how much processed foods I eat..especially at work.

Opps, guess my mind was still on cottage mood so I totally forgot to write last weeks post about my workouts.

I have to do make sure I do arms and abs this week. It''s sad to think I can run for an hour but lifting weights tires me out so fast and can only do about 30 minutes. Sculpt those guns! 

Weekly Workouts

How is it Sunday late afternoon?! Seriously, the days fly by. 

This wasn't my best week for running. Sunday was a slow 13k and my knees really started to get achy around 10k. I finished but I was very concerned. 

Tuesday wasn't any better. I missed running with the Beaches Running Group on Sunday so come Tuesday I was pumped to run 6k with my group after work. The traffic was horrible and by the time I got parked and sprinted over, everyone had started their run. So I ran 6k by myself which sucked. 

Wednesday, I missed hill training due to just being so darn tired mid-week. I know, I know. I should have gone. But I didn't. 

Saturday was a really good 6k run around my 'hood. Took 38 minutes. Pretty sure a PB.
