Man did my workout schedule get all twisted around last week! The evening I returned from South Carolina, The Mister’s cousin arrived in town (and a cleaning/hosting frenzy ensued). I did manage to get my run in on Thursday morning but everything else kind of caught the shaft. Things got more or less back to normal over the weekend.
My long run last Sunday was hard! I would think taking a week off from running would make things easier but that was not the case. I struggled to finish and my usual bag of mental tricks was just not working. In fact, I ended up completing the run in two parts – 8 miles and then the final 2 miles after step class. Oh well, at least I finished.
My strength training really suffered last week and this week will be strange as well. I am going to finish up the CrossFit beginner workshop this week. It is definitely hard work but just not the kind of workout that I’m used to. I miss my iron so I’ll be sneaking it in a little bit this week.
