Welcome back from the Thanksgiving holidays! Hopefully you had a smooth transition into the work week today.
After a productive afternoon yesterday, I had this happy greeting as I left the apartment to greet the work week.
While Bo worked yesterday I made some pretty amazing headway on my to do list by unpacking Christmas decorations, writing thank you notes, and folding laundry.
We ordered a simple sushi dinner in and fell asleep at 9pm!
This morning, I kicked off the week with a short 4 mile run on the treadmill which included a mile of pickups. My goal this week is to stick with my training plan even though I’ll be in Miami Tuesday through Friday night for business! After three straight days of running, my calves were screaming when I finished my run. I spent 10 minutes foam rolling and doing my hip stretches, as prescribed by my PT.
Breakfast was simple and delicious, enjoyed from the comfort of home while I worked. 
The combination of a small banana, bagel thin, and eggs kept me full until 1pm when I finally ate lunch in the office. After working from home this morning, I had to head uptown to the office to finish preparing for our Miami trip.
I’m still craving lots of fruits and vegetables after a few to many meat filled meals. Lunch did a great job answering that craving via an extra large salad complete with lettuce, tomato, feta, capers, green beans, onions, and Marzetti Simply Dressed dressing.
I capped off my day with an out of the ordinary second workout! My personal trainer, Lauren, was able to fit me into her Monday schedule which was perfect since I’m traveling Tuesday and Thursday, our normal days together. This week my workout plan/schedule is as follows:
Monday: Four mile run with pickups + strength training with personal trainer
Tuesday: rest day
Wednesday: four miles at goal pace
Thursday: cross train
Friday: cross train
Saturday: 6 mile run + strength training with personal trainer
Sunday: 3 mile recovery run
I may end up changing my schedule around a bit but I’m going to start with this and evaluate the schedule after I see the hotel’s location in Miami and the state of the hotel gym.
I hope you all have a great week and are recovering from the glory of a long weekend of lots of food, family, and laughter!
What hotel are you staying at in Miami? I’ve unfortunately stayed in many of them – but most have pretty decent facilities. Have a great time in my home base!
Tracey: I am staying at the Sheraton Four Points!
If you can get to South Beach in the morning I say run along the boardwalk. I started I’m a NYer and was out there 2 weeks ago, I did a 6 mile run out there and it was fabulous! I started around 10th turned left and went all the way to the end of the boardwalk. They also have bikes you can rent so there goes the cross training portion. 🙂
