FINALLY- I got in a run outside!! After only one other run off the treadmill since 2014 started, I was interested to see how this run would go! It was tough, and my legs felt incredibly heavy the entire time. This mixed with there still being icy spots on the road (lots of weaving and time spent walking over the ice), and it was obviously not my best run by any means. That hardly mattered, though, as I finally got the chance to actually run outside. The temperature when I left was a “feels like” temp of 0, and I definitely had a few moments where I really felt cold. Didn’t matter- I was on real pavement:)
That was quickly followed by an ice/snow storm on Monday, which messed up my workouts on Monday/Tuesday (I would normally lift monday and teach pilates Tuesday morning- neither happened). My grandpa died on Monday night, and that 10 mile bike ride was fueled totally by emotion. I switched things up, and had a pretty good week. Here’s what it looked like:
So that’s how the week looked.
Now it’s your turn to share! Did anything big happen in your week?
So sorry to hear about your grandpa! I have been striving to work out at the gym every other day and am pleased I kept that up this week. Some days it can be pretty difficult, but as long as I try, I’m happy.
Congratulations to you! That type of consistency can be tough, especially with the lack of predictability that comes with POTS! Keep at it 🙂
