Mamavation Monday - Week 8 of My Marathon Training


This will be my first Mamavation Monday post, so I've perused other blogger's posts to get an idea of what to write, and it seems like it's kind of a check in to see how we are doing with our goals. Last week wasn't as fantastic as the week before, but it wasn't too bad. I had a week of sleepless nights, I think I slept one full night all last week :( My workouts definitely suffered because of that. I did make sure to get all my runs in, and I'm really glad about that. 

Here is my wrap up of my week - 

Monday - bowling with the family
Tuesday - nothing - Ry's 8th grade graduation that took 3 hours and I had to work through lunch, and then Hunter had an awards ceremony in the evening.
Wednesday - did a 3 mile easy run 
Thursday - 3 miles of speedwork
Friday - bowling with the family
Saturday - rest day 
Sunday - 15 mile run (Longest run ever!!!)

So I am making this my motto this week - 

I am going to make every day count!!!

Goals - 
1. be more consistent in my cross training
2. incorporate yoga into my workout
3. Make the best of all my runs

What are you going to do to make every day count this week?
