Last week is the perfect example of what happens when I don’t have an actual plan in place. I worked out a lot but I also missed a few key workouts in preparation for my trail race this month and triathlon next month.

C’est la vie!

Charlie and I originally planned a few extra workouts together during our girls weekend but at the end of the day we listened to our bodies. Sleep won out over some extra workouts including a bike ride and a run. We are both about to kick off our Berlin Marathon training so there will be plenty of running and sweat in our future!

Instead of focusing on the fact that I practiced yoga more than I swam, ran, or biked last week I’m going to focus on the fact that I finished the week feeling strong!

Rumor has it this is a new week, perfect for starting fresh!

Here’s a quick recap of last week’s activities:

Monday: Rest Day

Tuesday:  4 hilly miles on the treadmill followed by 2 hours of sweat inducing power yoga

Wednesday: 9 mile bike + weights

Thursday: 5 mile trail run including 4 hill repeats followed by 90 minutes power yoga

Friday: 4 mile run + 90 minutes power yoga with Charlie

Saturday: 1,000 meter swim which included moving obstacles, aka children

Sunday: 4 mile iced coffee walk with Charlie + the London Color Run 5k

This week I have a plan in place and no excuses not to nail my training thanks in part to Bo, who is thrilled to help me practice clipping in and join me for a long ride. In addition, we have another bank holiday which means plenty of time to run, bike and swim since we’re not traveling this weekend!

How was your training or workouts last week?
