Martinis: 2
Crosstraining: Shut the front door - this girl cross-trained twice this week. Once on an "arc trainer" at the gym (some super hard contraption made to make you suffer) and a 4 mile hike with my mom and my puppy-dog.
Strength training: GET OUT. I did that too. I took an Archery Class on Saturday! (entire post to follow)
Overall outlook: Every week is getting a little easier. I am taking tiny steps towards a goal, rather than charging ahead only to fall flat on my ass (like i normally do). I won't lie, the AMAZING weather has helped. I had an 18 miler on Saturday, and i never even once felt like i would surely die. I even dragged Matt out for an 8 mile run on Sunday!
My posts will be short and sweet this week (I find that amusing seeing as how i have been averaging 2 weekly posts since i started the new job) but later this week, i will be blogging from DC! My trip to advocate for Huntington's Disease is THIS WEEK! AHHHHHHHH! Also, where did that nice weather go? It's cold out today!

SO GLAD you are feeling good and rocking workouts :)
ReplyDeleteAnd EEEEKKKK!! Can't wait to hear about your DC trip!
Awesome job on the 18 miler. Looking forward to the archery post!
ReplyDeleteGood work!!! I know, the gorgeous weather was SO NICE on Saturday. Have fun on your DC trip!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the post on your archery class! Shooting arrows is fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better than me! My 18 miler wasn't fun. Then I had to add 2 more (but those were better after I took an 8 hour break, including a 2 hour nap!).
ReplyDeleteGood luck in DC!
So happy to hear your training is going in a positive direction. Sounds like you had a great week! Enjoy your trip to DC :-)
ReplyDelete35 miles! Woo! Can't wait to hear about DC. I'm increasingly obsessed with that city. My husband grew up there so we go down to visit a lot. And it NEVER gets old for me. Pics pleeeeaz.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had the nice weather that they predicted, glad you got in all the weekend mileage and are getting the workouts in!
ReplyDeleteTWINS home opener here...going on right now at 34 degrees...brrr! Glad to be home watching it on TV...I am a great fan that way. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're so close, yet our weather is still crap....Some day, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat job!! Where is the increase in martinis to match that mileage? I've definitely seen an increase in cake consumption to match my running mileage this year!
ReplyDeleteWay to go hon, I can't wait to hear all about it, over a Martini or two of course!!
ReplyDeleteI love the selfie! That is all.
ReplyDeleteGreat week! Love the pic! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! DC is here! And yay to feeling better and rocking the long run :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Erin would comment - she was in to archery for awhile and I took a class with her once ;) Excited to hear what you thought!
Good job on the cross and strength training this week! I'm with you, the nicer weather definitely helps. I want to hear about the archery class! I took it in high school and thought it was really fun :)
