Well, with the start of a new training plan for Dopey Challenge 2018, Fitness Friday has returned! I enjoyed my break from being on a training cycle but now that a new one has begun, I'm super thrilled and looking forward to another journey to 26.2 (or 48.6 in this case)!
Currently Training For:
- Dopey Challenge 2018 - Walt Disney World
- Rock n Roll New Orleans Half Marathon 2018 - New Orleans, LA
Monday - 3 mile run and first day of Dopey Training!!
Tuesday - Rest Day
Wednesday - Cross Training with the Tone It Up Girls
Thursday - 3 mile run
Friday - Squats/Lunges/PT routine
I decided to begin my Dopey Training a little early because with the start of summer in the south also came the threat of a Tropical Storm named Cindy. Oh boy.
Brayden didn't let Cindy phase him although the "feels like" temperatures should have scared us both!
During the run, I listened to my friends over at The Disney Exchange and they kept me entertained and amused the entire 3 miles!
I seriously love these guys! If you haven't listened, you should go check them out!
It's only June and the heat/humidity is awful. What am I going to do come August? Oy.
My second run was planned for Wednesday after work but Cindy had other plans. Church was also cancelled that evening, so I enjoyed a little bonus time with Jason and Brayden!
We were released home from work early on Thursday afternoon, so I scoped out the weather channel to see if running would even be a possibility that evening.
Sure enough, around 3 p.m., I saw a clearing in the weather, so I made a break for it! The remains of Cindy were passing through and the wind was kicking pretty good, but there was no rain, thankfully! This wasn't my first time running through a tropical storm and I'm sure it won't be my last!
I somehow managed three miles although I had to stop and walk a bit on the last mile back home. It's not fun and definitely not easy to run through a head wind!
Not long after I returned home, it began to rain again! Talk about perfect timing!
On Wednesday, I clicked over to the Tone It Up girls web page for a new cross training workout. This one encompassed the entire body and included a lot of squats and lunges which was just what I needed!
Saturday morning is a planned long run with my running buddy! Jeff's plan calls for 3 miles but I think we will go for 5 or 6 as that's been our Saturday routine for a little while now. After Saturday's run, week 1 of Jeff Galloway's Dopey Training plan for me will be complete!
I hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend!
Where will your adventures this weekend take you?
I wondered if Cindy would hit you - glad it wasn't horrible in your area!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley! Me too! :)
DeleteI'd be on the treadmill a lot if I still lived in the south, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteToday was icky enough for me -- just mid 80s with some humidity. Glad I ran yesterday!
I have a feeling that the treadmill is where I'm going to end up soon!
DeleteYay for being back "in training!" I'm so excited for you and as usual can't wait to follow along with your training. Dopey will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kathryn! I'm excited to follow along in your journey as well! :)
DeleteI think I am the only person who does not listen to podcsts!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love them and also listen to them on my way to work sometimes!
