Monday, Monday...

Good morning y'all, it's a lovely Monday here in Oregon already! Hope you got some pep in your step and sunshine headed your way


 Just a reminder to get your plank on! I did!


My workouts this week were kind of pitiful as I was still not feeling 100%.  

Monday
  • Walk 17 minutes for 68 calories (all my hubby would allow me to do)
 Friday
  • Ran 41 minutes for 447 calories (a beautiful 3.6 mile run in the sunshine)
 Saturday
  • Gym 36 minutes for 336 calories
  • Ran 35 minutes for 339 calories
  • Calisthenics 10 minutes for 104 calories
Sunday
  • Morning walk w/hubby 50 minutes slow for 181 calories
  • Ran 16 minutes for 174 calories
  • Walk 4 minutes for 16 calories   

That was about all I could do this last week but I'm feeling better and getting back to my regular schedule. My jaw is still sore from surgery but it's getting better every day. 

I am so excited to get back into my normal training program. I am using The Virtual Coach app and I love it so far.  Is it weird that I am having dreams about running? My husband believes I'm a bit obsessed with running, but he loves that I'm not really normal...it's over rated anyway. Well...at the end of the day I gotta be myself even if I am a bit strange and obsessed 'cause that's how I roll...


 
Blessings and hugs, enjoy your day.

  1. Hey, it's Monday. And I tried a plank. I did 10 whole seconds. So I reckon that I'm two days before the star of your chart.

    Bears are generally pretty slow creatures. I'm right in character.

    I hope you're having a great Monday, Shannon!

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

  2. I did ~2 mins of plank variations today without even realizing there was a plank challenge going on! I don't think your workouts were that pitiful, especially not Saturday! You rock, lady!

  5. My jaw hurt forever after mouth surgery. I think it must be all those nerves that run along it.

    I will gladly be a Unicorn! Can I be a Narwhal too? I love narwhals...

  8. Congrats on getting some workouts in! I've been lackin a bit motivation and definitely slacking on the strength training. And there's nothing wrong with dreaming about running. :)
