Mamavation Monday - Week 11 of my marathon training


This week started out much better than last week, even though I'm still dealing with my shoulder. I ended up working out in some form every day. They only thing that stunk was my long run on Sunday. I have a dozen reasons why it wasn't good - I didn't sleep well the night before, I forgot to take my allergy pill and the pollen was strong, I just didn't breathe well throughout the entire run, and ultimately, I just felt sluggish. Oh well, we all have bad runs. I decided to shorten it from 17 mile to 3 miles and suck it up. Hopefully this week's long run will be better. Summer activities are really cutting into my training plans - LOL; good thing I have a bit before my marathon. Here is what I did this week -

Monday - Pop Pilates - Body Makeover
Tuesday - 3.1 miles speedwork
Wednesday - POP Pilates - crazy core workout, bowling
Thursday - 4 miles easy run
Friday - POP Pilates - crazy core workout, bowling
Saturday - Mamavation 5k, and 2.5 mile bike ride
Sunday - 3.36 mile run

This is me dying during my run :)

Other than my run, it was an awesome weekend. We went camping with my BFF and her boys again in St. Augustine. It was very hot, and not nearly as windy as the last time, so the boys spent most of their time in the ocean. 


But it was very relaxing - the beach does that for me :) I come back a little tired, but emotionally refreshed !!

    Sorry about the run. I hate when my allergies get out of hand. I try to take my allergy medication without fail but some times the cotton wood gets me anyway!

    You had a great week of workouts. Keep enjoying the Summer and feeling strong. Hope your shoulder gives you more relief each day.
