Week In Review: February 11th - February 17th
Monday:
Yoga - Did a class at Y7 Studio with my friend. I had the same problem as I have with Zumba - I can’t remember instructions or directions or sequences (I occasionally run into that problem with barre3 too). But it was okay. I’m not rushing to go back. My friend, who does yoga more regularly than I do, said it was a little slow for her. Also, I don’t mind the idea of hot yoga, but my friend said that the temperature of the studio is about how her husband likes their apartment to be - and he’s from South Florida. So … it kinda felt like 4th of July at Disney. Not my preferred workout temperature. But I survived.
Was scheduled for a barre3 class at 6:30pm but cancelled because I didn’t think I wanted to stay at work that late. Honestly, I probably should have either gone to that or run home from work with my friend (although I probably would have cheated and taken the subway to her office, which is about a mile and a half or so from me)
Tuesday:
Run - 2.62 miles, 33:22 minutes, 12:44 min/mi pace. Didn’t want to be out for too long due to threat of snow (although had it been snowing when I went out, I still would have tried to run about 2 miles). It didn’t snow. But this was a decent run.
barre3 - Had a bad day at work, so I was glad I had signed up for a 5:15 barre3 so that I could leave early (also, it was my third to last day, so who cares?). Very empty room, which is rare for a Dino class. Overall pretty decent (and unlike my last Dino class, I was able to put work behind me).
Wednesday:
Rest day. Set an early alarm to run, but I was tired so I went back to sleep. Was scheduled for barre3 after work, but decided to cancel because I went to town on the sample sale at work and I had a lot of stuff to carry home. Shortly after I cancelled I realized that I had forgotten to bring workout clothing … so I couldn’t have gone to barre3 anyway.
Thursday:
Run - 3.05 miles, 41:43 minutes, 13:41 min/mi pace. Really no idea why it was so slow, but whatever. Had originally wanted to do something more like 5 miles (plan was to run down to my coworker on 45th, although I wouldn’t have actually seen him because he gets up late, but I would have told him that I ran down to him), but I didn’t get out early enough.
Was scheduled for a barre3 class, but I forgot to bring workout clothes to work. Considered going back down after I got home for the 7:45 class, but decided against it.
Last day of work! It was tough, but I got through it. I did over-chocolate a bit, though. And so ends another chapter of my life. (For more on why it was my last day of work and why that’s a good thing, you can read
the blog post I wrote about it)
Friday:
Was originally planning to do a tempo run because I hadn’t yet this week, but I slept in instead. Headed out to Queens early to help my mom out.
Saturday:
We had a get together at the house (in memory of my grandmother, who passed 12 years ago this week) after the early prayer service that my dad attends, so I was up early to help my mom with setup. Didn't make it to services because I stayed home to help clean up. Did get an afternoon nap, though, so I got some sleep.
Sunday:
Run - 2.85 treadmill miles, 35:00 minutes, 12:17 min/mi pace. Was originally planning to do 4-4.5 (honestly, probably on the treadmill just because it was there), but I slept in and just wanted to get done.
Upcoming:
One of the good things about not working full-time is that it gives me more flexibility in my schedule. Here's what I have on tap for this week:
Monday - 4.5 miles @ Easy/LR
Tuesday - 10K Tempo Run (4x7.5min 10K pace w/ 0.5 mi RI)
Wednesday - No run, probably barre3
Thursday - Long Run! - 10-13.1 miles at Easy/LR
Friday - 3.1 miles at Easy/LR - OPTIONAL!, maybe barre3 (will depend on what I did Thursday and home I'm feeling)
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 4 miles at EC
Also ... I broke my H&M sunglasses (the sunglasses I'm wearing in older race pictures) and lost a pair of Knockarounds, so ... trying to decide if I want to get another pair of sunglasses and what I want. I still have one pair of Knockarounds (clear/moonshine) left.
