\"\"<\/a>I haven’t done a weekly exercise report or training update in ages.\u00a0 In all honesty, the weekly reports bore the bejeezus outta me.\u00a0 If it’s a snore for me to write them, it’s got to be a snore for you to read them.\u00a0 I think I would rather just do a weekly sort of summary post with general chit-chat so we can catch up.<\/p>\n

I miss just chatting with you friends! We’re always talking about something specific and sometimes I really just want to pull some ADD on you and talk about random whatevers.<\/p>\n

So this week, while I still maintained my average mileage (I’m typically in the area of 20+ miles a week), it was a bit of an oddball of assortments.\u00a0 On Tuesday I ran 8 miles, yeah baby!\u00a0 It was lovely outside and since I did a 10K on Sunday, I didn’t get in a “long” run that week.\u00a0 The 8 miles went great and I had an awesome pace going on.\u00a0 Tuesday evening, I was at Muay Thai and tweaked my right groin muscle a bit.\u00a0 Gah!\u00a0 It bothered me the week before but was fine by race day.\u00a0 I was shadow boxing, threw a right knee and my groin didn’t like that very much.\u00a0 The rest of the night it was hard to throw more knees and to do any left roundkicks.\u00a0 I was pouty and mad.<\/p>\n

Wednesday it was raining so I did some workouts that I found on Bodyrock.TV.\u00a0 That shit is no joke.\u00a0 The workouts are hard! I love that the host actually does the workouts and you can see her get tired and she talks about how hard the stuff is.\u00a0 A lot of people talk about Exercise TV but I can’t figure that stinkin’ website out.\u00a0 Bodyrock.TV posts everyday and the workouts are free.\u00a0 It is awesome! I totally suggest checking it out if you’re into core and strength workouts that use your own body weight for the resistance.<\/p>\n

Thursday I rested and only did conditioning class that evening.\u00a0 Bonus for me, I was able to do some clap-pushups for the first time ever!\u00a0 Hooray!\u00a0 I did five in a row and then added a few in every so often during the set.\u00a0 YES!<\/p>\n

Friday was a total rest day.<\/p>\n

Saturday, I slept in and then did a quick 4 miles in the crazy heat.\u00a0 LORD. Running in late morning is so hard for me! I am such a wuss and definitely prefer to run before the sun rises.\u00a0 The rest of the day was spent running errands.\u00a0 Shopping errands, the kind Scott loathes.\u00a0 He was such a good sport though and didn’t complain once!<\/p>\n

We stopped at Old Navy because I saw a commercial they were having tanks on sale for $2! However by the time I got there, they were sold out.\u00a0 The sales chick said they had lines outside the store before they opened and the store opens at 7am. :o\u00a0 Hardcore shoppers!\u00a0 I did score a pair of jeans for $13, a sweat shirt which is so awesome I cannot wait to take a pic for you, and some lovely long-sleeved Ts.<\/p>\n

I also hit up Target, Dick’s (the store people), and Kohl’s.\u00a0 Oh yeah!\u00a0 Also can I say, thank god for Vera Wang jeans because they are amazing!\u00a0 I have the worst time finding jeans in my size and shopping in the junior’s section isn’t my idea of a great time.\u00a0 That’s a whole other rant for another time.\u00a0 Scott was so amazing that I made him some spicy mac ‘n cheese for supper. :D<\/p>\n

Today 5:45am came super early, ugh!\u00a0 I got my hiney up and out the door and kicked out 12 miles.\u00a0 Hellz yes!\u00a0 That’s my longest run since the half in May.\u00a0 Go me!\u00a0 It was a bit rough going towards the end.\u00a0 I was tired and by that point it was overcast and getting humid outside.\u00a0 I pushed through and am so happy that I did!\u00a0 The downside is that my new shoes gave me a blister.\u00a0 Grrr! I’ve never gotten a blister from Brooks before and these new shoes are so different it’s like they aren’t even Brooks Adrenalines.\u00a0 I’ll have to go into that more next week as I’ve already written a novel and chatted your ear off!<\/p>\n

Alright guys I’m out to continue getting my grub on.\u00a0 Hooray for distance running! :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
