Week In Review: 4/30/17

Whoops! Missed out on a few weeks since it was Easter and well...life. Hope you all had a great holiday!

I've been sticking mostly to my plan, eating better, and getting in long runs (no, the short ones have not been happening like they should). As one would expect when you stupidly ramp up mileage too quickly, I found myself injured and needing extra rest.

Sunday: Taugh HIIT (kind of--I really rested more than taught)
Monday: taught Fit Fun Kids and gave the knee a rest!
Tuesday: Insanity Max 30
Wednesday: Insanity Max 30, taught FFK, Pump & Foam Roll and Stretch
Thursday: Insanity Max 30
Friday: Insanity Max 30
Saturday: Insanity Max 30 (had to make-up from Monday), 9 mile walk/run

One more week of training hard, then I'm going to start really taking it easy and focusing on getting race day ready. We're hitting the parks before the half marathon (which is not preferred, but it works). I'm going to plan on a Wednesday workout while we're at Disneyland, plus I'll be running the 5k on Friday. This in additional to all the walking, and of course, the half, will be plenty of exercise for the week.

If I can, I'm totally going to brag on myself! I really focused and used this trip as motivation to get myself back to pre-pregnancy weight. I am, and I'm probably in even better shape. For once, I am not worried about family pictures, wearing shorts, or buying a new bathing suit. I'm excited! It's seriously the BEST feeling ever. No, this half marathon is NOT going to be pretty, but the rest of the trip is going to be awesome! The best part is I earned it!!!
