Days 78-84

Not too much to report from this past week--basically a repeat of the previous week.

Monday: we got home from SF at around 4pm, and I was unable to skip my run--I felt too guilty. Unfortunately I was still pretty hung over from the previous night, so running 4 miles made me even more dehydrated. Probably not the best move. I skipped my strength training.

Tuesday: 30 minutes of yoga. Several hours of sitting around.

Wednesday: 3-mile run, strength circuit. I didn't watch the clock much on any of my runs this week. We had super high winds again this week, so I ran on the treadmill all week.

Thursday: 1 hour of yoga. Getting really bored of my DVD; I think I may have to order a more advanced program. Either that or start going to Pilates at the gym.

Friday: 30 minutes of cross-training, another 3-mile run, strength circuit. I wanted to race myself for the 3-miler but I was just kind of struggling this week--feeling really tired and sluggish most days. I ended up running it in 26-something, so definitely didn't approach my PB of 25:18. Maybe next week.

Saturday: 4-mile run. It was actually nice and cool outside in the morning so I thought I'd run outside. But on emerging from my house I realized it was raining pretty hard, and I just didn't feel that hardcore at the moment. So I headed over to the gym after all and ran around a 37:00 4-miler.

Today I'm taking the day off and planning to watch movies all day. Although I don't feel like I'm pushing myself very hard at all, I'm a little concerned that I'm not eating as much as I should be to compensate for the increased intensity/amount of exercise I've been getting. Not like I'm depriving myself--at all!--but I think I need to incorporate more protein and iron into my diet. I'll work on that this coming week.

That's pretty much it. Hope everyone is having a lovely Memorial Day weekend!
