Week In Review

August 20, 2012

Time for another week in review!  That’s two weeks in a row.  Guess I’m on a roll, watch out!!

Weight:  239.6
Difference from last week: +4 pounds…not good, and not happy about that. I know it was my eating, especially over the weekend while camping that contributed to this. I almost left this part out, but I need to be accountable, so in it goes. It sucks, but it is correctable!

Weekly Mileage: 16.86 (6.3 running, 10.56 hiking)

  • Monday:  2.11
  • Tuesday:  2.10
  • Wednesday:  2.09
  • Thursday:  Off
  • Friday:  6.05 (hiking)
  • Saturday:  4.51 (hiking)
  • Sunday:  Off

Risks Taken:  Camping adventure by myself

So, this week was a little different.  I only ran 3 days this week, and the mileage was lower than it had been.  Part of that is because of where I was in the Couch to 5K program.  The workout duration time was lower, so that has something to do with it.  Plus, I was starting to get a little tired.  I didn’t want to take a rest day on Thursday, but common sense got the better of me, and I did take it off.  I also made the decision to get away for the weekend and head into the mountains for a little solitary time, just me and the dog.  Football season is starting soon, and I knew that with that, my weekends would be busy reffing games.  I just wanted a couple of days to clear my head and get centered.  It worked!  It will be the subject of another post here in a couple of days, so I won’t say too much.  I didn’t run the other days, but did get some pretty intense hiking in, so I’m counting that here.

So, that was my week last week.  This week, I need to focus on my food and not eating as much as I did as well as getting back on track running-wise.  Oh, those of you readers on facebook, stop by and “like” my Chris The Runner page.  I will get another post out in a day or so.  Until next time, stay safe and Happy Running!!

  1. Great Job, I started the Couch to 5K last Thursday! We will have to keep in touch!

    • Thanks, Shawn! I’m downloaded the app on my phone, and am starting Week 4. It’s been great to keep me in line and motivated. I’m glad that you are back out on the trail running! I’ve missed seeing your posts on Dailymile!
