Strength Training Totals
Monday : 1 45-minute circuit session
My goals for this week were 3 strength training sessions (my usual), 3 yoga sessions (slipping, I admit) and a 52mi/83.68km distace week in running. As you can see from the above totals, this didn’t happen.
I had two runs (Saturday and Sunday) fall shorter than planned : Saturday was bad timing, Sunday was a distance mis-calculation. That sort of thing doesn’t usually happen as I can usually see my distance on my watch with my footpod, but my watch still hasn’t come back from being serviced.
With holiday gift-making, helping out at Guppy’s school with various seasonal events (including all-day Friday) have had me stretched for time, and I know that I need to keep some perspective – 2 years ago this time I was in a cast and couldn’t walk without crutches, and last year at this time I was just barely getting back on my feet. I’m happy I could do what I did this week, but sure wish it could have been more.
This coming week is going to be yet even crazier as we’ll be heading out of town for a few days for the Christmas holiday, and probably driving back home on Sunday. I’m not sure how the long run is going to happen, if it does, or how I’ll juggle my schedule to make it work.
How do you deal with training over the holiday season?
I’m going to try my hardest to keep to my regular running schedule, which shouldn’t be too hard because I’m not traveling far for the holidays. As for yoga, I recently started a class but can’t go this week. I’ll just try to do a little more yoga each day when I wake up. We’ll see how that goes!
I think you’re doing great, especially considering your past injury! Happy holidays!
Thank you for the support!
I wish I could find a yoga class not too far from us – I have a hard time fitting it in now, but I’m working on finding a time that I can dedicate to only yoga. It was easier when we had more daylight to fit everything in! Come back sunshine, please!
