Wrong! :)
Let me tell you about my rather lame running week anyways.
Monday
Mondays have become a bust for me. I am already asking a lot from my family in that I always go to Women's 5K training Tuesday after work, and Rogue speed work on Thursday nights. Monday worked well as an AM run, but PM just isn't going to work. I felt no guilt. After Sunday's sore-tastic extravaganza, I earned a ditch day! I will need to tweak the run schedule; maybe this becomes a treadmill AM run.
Tuesday
I look forward to Tuesday nights all week long. My pod of ladies and I did intervals. Unfortunately, that meant less distance, and for me, not much speed work. The gals I ran with were working it, for sure, though! Clocked them at under 9 for their post-mile 1-1s. Woo. Hoping to have them braving a full mile of jogging soon! I only logged 2.5 for the day, though. I really should have hit the treadmill in the AM to get the half distance in, but its hard to tell when I will need it, and when I won't with 5K training. So rest day #1.5.
Wednesday
Wednesday, I FINALLY made it to my thrice rescheduled Keratin treatment. Joy! Unfortunately, I only marginally understood that with this fine service, I wouldn't be able to shower, shampoo, sweat, or put my hair up in any way. I guess I thought I would "wing" it. But enough people told me that to ignore the ban on sweating would be certain doom (aka ... frizzy roots). Let me show you what I look like with frizzy roots:
Judy Circa 1999 (20 years old) Worst attempt at a home perm EVER!
So if you deduced that I decided to take the ban seriously, you would be correct. :) No running on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. As I am still un-shampoo-ed, you'll have to wait for the weekend update to see the After that putting off running helped with. I am sure I will have a picture because up on the agenda for Saturday: Dancemagedon! (whatever that is).
Thursday
This is the real deal run fam, right here! :) Complete with generation next.. Mr. #potato himself. The Holden ball.
Speed work in boots? Nah!
Gosh, I love my tribe! After a rough day at work, I wasn't sure I was going to show for some walking and a little cheerleading of the troops at least. But the weather was lovely, hubby was already mid-cook when I landed at the house for a pit stop (i.e. girlies taken care of). And the biggest of lures.. a Holden sighting.
I shouldn't have worn boots. That hurt a tad after the fact. But I got in 3.1 miles of walking that I otherwise wouldn't have, and a nice therapy sesh with my walking bud, the potato momma. I was in a grump fest .. aka rough day at work previously mentioned .. but by the end of it, I was a happy camper again. Babies help. Holden is such a cute bug. He looks just like his daddy! Even when he screams up a storm because, hey, the last lap is the worst, he's adorbs doing it.
Hair treatment or no hair treatment, tomorrow is Saturday! 9 miles total on the schedule with ATC training, complete with indicator re-do thrown into miles 2-4. Cold but not rainy. If I am feeling up to it, I think I will stay on for the full trainee distance. (4 additional at 10:30/11). If I do that, I'll just have a tiny balance for Sunday Women's 5K training, (hopefully not impacted by Dancemagedon plans lol), and then I will have run my very first tracked 100 miles in a calendar month! :) (If I've hit that goal before, it would most likely have been in Nov 2015, but I'd have to go back to the calendar to confirm).
Excited to jump into February, too. The Hearts & Soul 5K is a fast race; I would like to hit my PR time of 27 and change again, just to confirm that it wasn't a one hit wonder. February will also bring a focus on dieting. I *eek* plan to give up diet soda for the whole month. I also will do a daily crunches challenge this month. Looking forward to helping those good measure meal metrics along by whatever means necessary! I decided to put off swimming until W5K is over. With it ending in March, that still leaves plenty of time. If I get any swimming in before then, it will be great, but unexpected. Same with biking.
