I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.
I am a creature of habit, so I’ll be keeping up with my workout recaps on Sundays during NaBloPoMo. If that’s not your thing, feel free to skip these posts. I am currently training for my first marathon, so I am running a lot. I am pretty good at sticking to a plan and I am really glad I am following a plan right now because I have to admit that if it wasn’t for the training plan, I’d be slacking a bit right now. Luckily, discipline > motivation works!
Monday
- 15 Min Lanebreak — Candy Hunt
- 10 Min Focus Flow: For Runners – Denis (4/9/24)
- 30 Min Sleep Meditation – Ross (2/22/23) — Ghouls Just Wanna Have Self-Love/Personal Streak
I had a meeting early in the morning and postponed my workout until the evening. Monday was my rest day, so I kept things low-key and just pedaled on the bike for 15 minutes, stretched a bit in Denis’ yoga flow an did a full 30-minute sleep meditation before bed. That was nice.

It was 45F/7C when I headed out for my 60-minute easy run with strides this morning but it was pleasant to run outdoors when the sun came out.
Wednesday

Another cool morning, maybe fall is finally knocking on our door? We had a very warm October and I am enjoying the cooler morning temperatures. I am not enjoying that I cannot get out for my run before 7:30 am.

I completed 5 easy miles before jumping on the bike with Tanja and the #BCBabes1 for a bootcamp. I hadn’t done a bootcamp in a while and it was so much fun especially because I got to work out with friends! I finished with Kirra’s healthy back yoga flow, which was good!

I had other commitments in the morning, so I opted for the treadmill in the afternoon to get my easy run in. It was nice because I got to work out with Jon (who did his walk on the treadmill next to me).

Sunday Long Run! I had another 16 miles on the training plan. It was sunny, but quite windy today. Does headwind count as hill training? Asking for me, haha.
Current Challenges + Trackers:
I wrapped up the October trackers this week. As you can see, I only finished the Candy Hunt but slacked a little bit on the self-care and personal streak. Let’s just say, I had a lot going on last month and I am glad I was able to keep up with my marathon training plan. Anything else was extra!
Of course, I did pick a few new trackers for November because otherwise I would have FOMO and I really enjoy the creativity our Streakers365 admin team puts into those trackers.

November 4, 2024 at 12:50 amI need a bit of your discipline. I have been very lax on my yoga routine as I feel so tired. Ever since day light savings I wake at 5.30 and can’t go back to sleep until seven and then I am so exhausted to wake up. Sigh…
But at least I do the walks daily.

November 4, 2024 at 5:49 amYou had a great week! Sounds like your marathon training is going really well. I’m eyeing those “sleep meditation” classes… I think I need those.
San
November 4, 2024 at 1:58 pmI highly recommend the sleep meditation. Sometimes I forget and then when I restart them, I wonder how I fell off the bandwagon. Every single time!

November 4, 2024 at 4:02 pmYour marathon training is going so well. You must be very happy. How much longer to go?
Deborah Brooks
November 4, 2024 at 5:04 pmSounds like you had some nice running weather to enjoy this week. Marathon training looks like it’s right on track

November 4, 2024 at 6:11 pmI often times have a a tough time falling asleep (my brain refuses to turn off,LOL), but the meditation classes definitely help. I can’t imagine staying awake, though for 30 minutes of meditation…I’d probably be out well before the class ended ;-) Nice job with all those miles an workouts!
