I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.

I struggled a bit to stay on top of my workouts this week. I’ve been a bit short on time and just tired. I got my core workouts in but haven’t done much extra in terms of strength or mobility work. I had to ask my coach to rearrange my training plan to accommodate work commitments and a short overnight trip to Tahoe (Fri/Sat) with friends. I am also trying to clear the chaos in our new home (not everything is unpacked yet despite the best efforts on my part).

Monday

• 30 min Halloween Yoga Flow – Kristin (10/31/22) — Candy Hunt
• 10 Min World Mental Health Meditation – Anna (10/9/24) — Ghouls Just Wanna Have Self Love

Rest day! I am enjoying these low-key Mondays with some yoga and meditation, especially after PeloFondo.

I’ve started to take advantage of having access to a gym and completed my interval run on the treadmill this morning. I also did some strength training afterward.

I ran on the treadmill again because it was my office day and I had to get it done early. Running on the treadmill feels hard (I haven’t run on a tread in a long time) and I prefer being outdoors, but it’s so nice to have the option!

I got my easy run done on the treadmill before my friend Susi picked me up in the morning to head up to Tahoe for an overnight trip.

Another running milestone: I ran 17 miles today – my longest run yet. I also ran into a fellow Fleet Feet runner who stopped me along the way and told me he followed me on Instagram. Haha. I don’t think I’ve ever met any Instagram follower “in the wild” but it was a nice encounter.

Current Challenges + Trackers:

I feel like I am slacking a little bit (esp. when it comes to my daily yoga streak) but I’ve just been a bit short on time this week. It’s ok. I am not stressing about it.
