Weekly Workout Recap 9/12/16 - 9/18/16

This past week was just a crazy busy week! Working, training, and my sons birthday!!

Monday: 5 mile run on the treadmill, and a light Shoulder circuit. ( I didn't get to finish because child watch called me for my daughter at the gym #momlife.)
Shoulder Circuit: (I normally do this 4-5 times)
Dummbell Lateral Raises ( 10-12 reps)
Dumbbell Front Raises (8-10 reps)
Overhead Dummbell Press (6-8 reps)
I repeat this sequence about 4-5 times depending on how I feel after my run. I take about a 20 - 30 second rest in between each set.
After I got home, I foam rolled!

Tuesday: Track Tuesday!!!! I'm not sure if I was tired, still recovering from my long run on Saturday or my body just wasn't feeling speed training that morning, but it wasn't my best speed work session. (I'm okay with that because hey, I still got a run in!)
But I did 400m hard run with 200m of recovery. I probably went about 85% with my hard run.
I only did it 4 times, instread of the 6-8 times planned... I then just lapped around the track twice.
BUT a big thank you to my good friend Helen for getting up super early to run. <3

SOOOO early!

Wednesday: Cross training on the Elliptical. My legs felt so tense and tight on Tuesday. Going on the elliptical always helps me loosen up some. I did 30 minutes on there then did some bicep work!!
Cable curls 10x 3, barball curls 10x 3, and hammer curls 10x3. my weight is normally about 20lbs.

Thursday: Rest. lol. Just felt like resting.

Friday: Well, for starters.... my baby boy turned 4!!!!

BITTER SWEET! 

We started out our Friday with a family run! Jason packed up the kids and the double jogger and we headed to the park to enjoy a hot, humid 3-4 mile run!
Jason pushed the double jogger because i'm training and he is sweet like that. He ended up doing about a 4 mile run. I did 3 miles, but I did a progressive run.
My splits were 9:51, 9:17, 9:13.

  We let the children run free after the run! They LOVE the park!

My son was running around and wouldn't stop for a picture!
We then continued the party at Green Acres. (mini golf, water wars with water balloon, bumper boats, games)

Saturday: Saturday was a BUSY BUSY day. Wedding in the morning, frosting cupcakes, cleaning, getting last minute party supplies and my sons party at the oh so lovely Chuck E. Cheese later that evening.
Saturday alone was a work out haha, A huge shout out to Jason because that mornings wedding couldn't have gone any crazier that it did. I ended up not getting home till after 1 when I planned to be home before noon!
But in the end, the day ended well with lots of pizza cupcakes and happy faces on the kids that came out to celebrate! I may not have ran on pavement, but I surely ran around Chuck E. Cheese! Hah!

Thats my grandma. Shes probably the coolest lady around!

In case anyone was wondering, my son choose a Spurs party, because we love our and believe in our Spurs. Ahhhhmen. haha. 

Sunday: Not going to lie, it was hard to get up and get out. I had 11 miles to dish out.
I traveled out to Cibolo to join a few friends on a run. It was beautiful, peaceful and a wonderful route.

I ran a total of 6 miles with Jennifer and Heather, then did my last 5 solo.

I felt great until I hit mile 8/9. The sun just peaked out enough and it got hot super quick!!

However, I tried a new fuel. UCAN. It works! Normally be mile 7, my stomach will growl and I'm just hungry. No matter how many chews, guus, gels, drinks.... I'm just flat out HUNGRY. 

UCAN definitely did the trick for me! YAY! haha. 

Sorry (but also not sorry) for the overload of pictures of my littles. This week was just crazy for us all! Hopefully everyone had a fabulous week!
