Oh boy workouts this week were a dud. I got in ONE day and that’s it. Got sick and it has only gotten worse. Looks like this week will not be much better. Hubby has pneumonia and I am trying to keep it at bay but boy the coughing and breathing is not going well plus I have a fever off and on. I am sure bummed because this would have been my 5th week running. I should have known by the struggle I had on the treadmill Monday that I was getting sick.
But I am just going to try to get better. Lots of rest this week!
So here are the stats for the one day that I did work out.
Monday-
*Treadmill
Time: 46 min.
Miles: 2.53 (7-one minute intervals and 1-one minute 15 interval)
Calories burned: 500
I was struggling with the running so at the end I bumped it up to incline 6 and walked that way for about 5 min.
Tuesday-Sunday nada
So there you have a very short update. Hope everyone else did well with workouts this past week.
What are your plans for the coming week?
I honestly don’t have any until I get better but I am itching to get back to the gym for spin and running. Did you ever think I would say that? LOL
Have a great week,

It’s Motivational Monday this week! I’ll share some perseverance quotes below because perseverance has been a big thing for me lately. When I was working out this past week I think I told you that on the wall at our gym LA Fitness is the word PERSEVERANCE in huge lettering and it was right in front of me as I was running on the treadmill. I kept pushing and telling myself that I need to just persevere even though I was struggling. It helped!
Don’t you just love these perseverance posters?




Here are some perseverance quotes that I found today at Quote Garden and I found them to really touch home when it comes to my running and hope they will help you too!

Kev and I worked out this morning (spin class and weights) and then we ran errands and shopped our hearts out. Also went to one of our favorite mom and pop restaurants, Liberty in Libertyville, IL. It is always soooo good! We have been watching the Olympics all weekend and I forsee the whole week consisting of that.
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Here are my workouts for the week and it was a pretty lame week. I know I can do so much better. I keep thinking that I don’t want to overdo it especially since I’m just starting out running but I feel like I’m hardly getting anywhere. Gotta really look at my schedule and see what I can do.
