Here’s a recap of Week 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunday, January 8th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 miles this morning! \u00a0Whooo! \u00a0I was going into this run hoping to get 4 miles in but also realizing that maybe my legs wouldn’t be into it, so I would have to go with the flow.<\/p>\n

My legs were a bit tired but not enough that I couldn’t complete 4 miles. \u00a0I felt strong during the run and like my legs are starting to get used to running again. \u00a0I was able to get through the 4 miles without issue.<\/p>\n

Since my legs have been feeling a little tired and achey, I busted out my leg sleeves after this run. \u00a0Just to help ease with the achy feeling. \u00a0I haven’t seen them in ages either so it was nice to pull out my little purple lovelies.<\/p>\n

Monday, January 9th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quick 2.5 run to start the week off right. \u00a0It was on the warmish side, pushing 30F to start. \u00a0I felt really strong during this run. \u00a0I kept the mileage short because I was coming off a longer run.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 10th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another gorgeous morning! It was again pushing 30F to start and was great running weather. \u00a0Cranked out 3 miles with strong legs and breathing being more in tune.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, January 11th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It looked like rain but I wanted to head out to try and get something in before it started. \u00a0It was damp and even though it was close to 30F again, it felt a lot colder. \u00a0I was able to run a nice 4.5! \u00a0My legs were strong and the run was solid. \u00a0This is the most I’ve run since I tried running 5 miles two months ago. \u00a0At that time 5 miles was just too much and my hip screamed in pain for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

I dialed my running back a lot because I got really discouraged. \u00a0I remembered that I needed to bump my miles up slowly starting with .5 mile increments. \u00a0This was it, 4.5! \u00a0I felt great during the run and my hip didn’t bother me at all! \u00a0YaY!!<\/p>\n

Thursday, January 12th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was pouring rain all day long so I took this as my “off” day. \u00a0Nice rest day!<\/p>\n

Friday, January 13th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly I didn’t get out to run. \u00a0We were experiencing high winds all day long and there was no way I would have been able to run in that. \u00a0Instead I did some free weights work for lower and upper body. \u00a0Along with ab work at the end and 2 30second plank holds.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 14th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.5 miles in the snow and cold! \u00a0Whooo! My most favorite run of the week! \u00a0Okay, that 4.5er was pretty good but running in the snow is the best. \u00a0There was only a slight breeze and big fat fluffy flakes falling. \u00a0Scott ran with me and it was his first snow run. \u00a0YaY!<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 days of running this week but a total of 6 days working out. \u00a0Not bad! \u00a0I am definitely already starting to notice some changes but we can talk about that in my wrap-up post a little later.<\/p>\n
