Oops! I can't believe I let three weeks go by without posting over here. I swear I've been working out! In fact, race season is upon us (YAY!), so I've been pretty busy. I did the Four Courts Four Miler on my birthday (recap here), have been keeping up with my 10 miler/half marathon training, have gotten outside for a few runs, ran 7 miles without a walk break for the first time ever, and 5K Fridays start up again this week.
This month was a bit hectic with being out of town, having guests, celebrating multiple birthdays (sometimes multiple times!), so posting was light, but now that I'll be running in races regularly, I'm excited to get back to posting more regularly. I'm not even going to bother to write up all my individual workouts from the past three weeks at this point... just going to start over from here on out!
I am having a hard time getting motivated to work out this month. So far I've worked out 13 of 23 days, which is okay I guess, but it's been a real struggle to get myself to the gym. I'm going to have trouble meeting my monthly workout goal for February (to log 50 miles), plus I had wanted to do more strength training this month. I haven't gone to Body Pump at all this month, once because of snow (couldn't get the car out of the garage and I'm not even sure the gym was open), once because I was out too late the night before, and once because we had a wedding-related meeting in the morning... and this weekend, I'm out of town.
I really hope March is a better month as far as working out. I'm going to start to get into the tougher parts of my 10-miler and half-marathon training, but I don't want to slack off on strength training like I did last time I trained for the 10-miler. My legs can push through a little soreness from lunges and deadlifts... I just need to do it!
