Walt Wednesday

Some people do a "Wordless Wednesday" post, where they simply share a photo or image, but I thought I'd make a little series out of my Wednesdays. And since I love alliteration so much, why not go with Walt Wednesdays (obviously everyone can use a little break from the seriousness, scariness and sassiness of life - and what better way to help put a smile on your face than with a cute wiener dog picture, am I right?!)... So, without further ado...

WALT WEDNESDAY!

When life gets overwhelming, how do you de-stress?

Workout Recap - Week 16

Sunday, April 14th  90 minutes on the stationary bike

Monday, April 15th –  4 mile hill repeat run

Tuesday, April 16th – 60 minutes on the stationary bike

Wednesday, April 17th – Rest Day

Thursday, April 18th – HIIT workout

Friday, April 19th  Rest Day 

Saturday, April 20th – 60 minutes on the stationary bike

I gave blood on Thursday and they normally prefer you to have NOT worked out that day, so that's sort of why things were moved around a bit. I figured a 20 minute workout wouldn't dehydrate me so I'd be good (and I was). Also, the day after donating my runs normally feel pretty junky so I made it another rest day. Oh yeah and originally I was planning on running during my lunch break on Wednesday (I've really been enjoying those runs), but I spent my lunch break (and about 3 hours around that time) bailing out our work bathroom floor from an overflowed toilet... Yeah, that's how my week was going ;) I'm bummed (and maybe a little disappointed in myself) that I really only got in 4 miles of running, but am hoping to be back at it more regularly soon.

How were your workouts this past week?

Workout Recap - Week 15

Sunday, April 7th  10 mile run

Monday, April 8th –  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, April 9th – Rest Day

Wednesday, April 10th – 4.44 mile hill repeat run

Thursday, April 11th – HIIT workout

Friday, April 12th  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Saturday, April 13th – 3 mile run with the hubby

Nothing too special to report for this week's workouts. The hubby was out of town for a photoshoot (yes, I know, again...) Sunday through Wednesday so I actually did Sunday's run after work. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but for some reason I am actually preferring afternoon/ evening runs right now - which is NOT what I had ever really preferred in the past. My sleep/ energy has been pretty wonky recently, so I guess forcing myself to wake up extra early in the morning to get in my runs first thing or before work just hasn't been my jam, but hey, you gotta take what you can get.

Workout Recap - Week 14

Sunday, March 31st  3 mile run with the hubby

Monday, April 1st –  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, April 2nd – HIIT workout

Wednesday, April 3rd – Rest Day

Thursday, April 4th – 4.44 mile lunchtime run

Friday, April 5th  Rest Day

Saturday, April 6th – 4 mile run with the hubby

The mileage may look lower than expected, but that's more because I bookended the week with runs with the hubby (and he is just trying to get back to consistently running so we are keeping the miles low and the fun high ;)). I've actually really been enjoying my midday runs on my lunch break - that is, until it starts getting warmer (I've lucked out that the last two times I did it, the temps were in the high 50s so I didn't have to worry about going back to work a sweaty, stinky mess). PS How wild is it that on 4/4 (the fourth work day of the week), I ran 4.44 miles (as you can tell from my map, there is NO WAY I could have planned that) at a average pace of 8:44/minute?! I mean, I don't think I could've had more 4s if I tried ;)
