Welp, this week was a little more relaxed than normal. Sunday was my trip back from Michigan and then I was dealing with the time change, switching antidepressants, etc. so I dialed back the workouts a bit. I only got 3 workouts (two runs + one bike), but otherwise we'll consider my "rest days" as catching up on sleep. Next week will (probably) be more active!

How were your workouts this past week?

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!

Workout Recap - Week 42

Sunday, October 13th – 5K on the treadmill, weighted squats and calf raises, 1 mile backwards walking

Monday, October 14th –  Rest day

Tuesday, October 15th – 3.5 mile run in 35*

Wednesday, October 16th – 4 mile treadmill run

Thursday, October 17th – 17 mile bike ride with Daddy-O

Friday, October 18th – Rest day

Saturday, October 19th – Rest day

Well, as I'm sure you can see from the workouts and photos, I was not in Kansas California anymore. I went back to Michigan to be with my mom for her open heart surgery (it's a long story on why the surgery ended up NOT happening until after I was already back from the mitten, but the reason was still all the same). Originally the surgery was scheduled for Monday the 14th, so Daddy-O and I went to the gym on Sunday and figured Monday would be spent in the hospital (for a rest day). When the surgery was delayed, we got some interrupted family time in. I did a run from my parents' house on Tuesday (it was chilly!) and then my padre and I went back to the gym on Wednesday to get in a workout. Thursday my dad and I went to check out a newly opened "Trail of Two Cities" and got in 17 miles of biking between Gladwin and Beaverton (the bummer part was only about 2.5 miles of the 8.5 one way were on actually trail, the remaining 6 was in the bike lane of a road...). Friday and Saturday were spent in the hospital (note: she ended up having surgery rescheduled from Saturday to Sunday and then to Monday [my flight was Sunday afternoon...]) so rest days it was - unless you count the walk to the hospital from the hotel when my dad had gone over earlier than me... All-in-all I was proud to get in activity, even if things looked differently than expected when I left SoCal (AND differently than expected when I arrived in MI).

Workout Recap - Week 41

Sunday, October 6th – 3 miles with the hubby

Monday, October 7th –  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, October 8th – 4 mile lunch run 

Wednesday, October 9th – 60 minutes on the stationary bike

Thursday, October 10th – 3 mile lunch run with the hubby

Friday, October 11th – 60 minutes on the stationary bike

Saturday, October 12th – Rest day

A little running, a little biking and do it over and again. No long runs this week, but I did get to run with the hubby twice which was nice (he had been out of town for a little over a week in North Carolina for a photoshoot so it was nice to have a few chance outside of the 'norm' to connect with him). I'm heading back to Michigan today for a week, so I doubt I'll get in a long run while I'm there, but hopefully I can get in a few runs in the mitten (and maybe even one with my padre!)!

Workout Recap - Week 40

Sunday, September 29th – Rest day

Monday, September 30th –  60 minutes on the stationary bike

Tuesday, October 1st – 4 mile lunch run 

Wednesday, October 2nd – 60 minutes on the stationary bike

Thursday, October 3rd – 4 mile lunch run 

Friday, October 4th – Rest day

Saturday, October 5th – Rest day

Welp, no long run for me this week. Originally I was planning on Sunday, but I legit laid on my neck wrong (like while listening to an audiobook in the sun) and apparently pulled a muscle in my neck and was OUT OF COMMISSION for two-ish days! Not even a month into my 40s and my body is already falling apart ;) Thankfully I was okay by Tuesday, but, golly gee, any type of impact or turning my head was almost out of the question for 48 hours! I was then planning on Saturday, but I went and got groceries, had to watch the Tigers (lose to the Guardians... BOO!) and then it was time for some college football, followed by a little maxin' and relaxin' with the hubby since he had been out of town since the previous Friday for a photoshoot. Maybe next week ;) [but, now that I think about it, probably not... more on that later.]
