Considering that #1 it was Thanksgiving week and #2 I've still been fighting the cough, I had a pretty good workout week last week.
Monday - 3.77 walking. This was the day that I was worried I might actually be GETTING SICK. I decided that running was unwise but I strapped on my backpack and walked to the store, bought some groceries, and walked home. It felt really wonderful and I didn't start coughing until I got home.
Tuesday - 3.4 miles in 43 minutes (12:38) plus walking warm-up. 80 degrees out 2 days before Thanksgiving. Still not feeling great but I just enjoyed the heat and the feeling of cooking that cough out of my chest.
I really thought we would get Wednesday afternoon off work and that I would ride my bike but alas.
Saturday - 30 minutes. Pre-dawn runner's core workout. I've been doing the pre-dawn routine but mixing in some ball crunches as well. I'm really excited because I can now do the unilateral bird-dogs.
Saturday - 20.2 mile bike ride in 1:38 (12.4 mph). It was really gorgeous out and I really wanted to take a long workout and burn some calories. Runkeeper was announcing every 5 minutes so every time it did, I pedaled hard for 50 strokes to make it a little more challenging. This was the farthest I've ever ridden or run.
Sunday - 5.7 miles in 1:16 (13:19) plus walking warm up/down. I considered this a LSR and did 2:00/1:00 then 1:00/1:00. I didn't even check the Runkeeper cues, just ran and enjoyed it.
Other:
Water: I have been doing a good job of drinking water. I think I drank 64 oz or more every day that I tracked it (I didn't track while out of town).
Snacking: Reduced but not eliminated.
Noom: I'm using Noom for my calorie tracking pretty consistently.
My Half-marathon training plan for the Livestrong officially starts Tuesday (11/27). I've settled on the Hal Higdon Novice 2 plan but I'll be adding in core work and possibly some strength work.
