Another Change in Workout Schedules
Does it seem to you that working out requires a constant change of schedules?
Just when I get it down, something happens to blow it all up!
Last night my husband said he wished I would run on Fridays instead of Saturdays, so we could sleep in together.
Now, Saturday has been my long run day for a loooong time! Yet I knew he always wanted it to not be. I hated saving it for Sunday; I really rather get it out of the way.
But, to keep marital relations in tact, I’m doing it: I’m making the switch!
I know, doesn’t seem like a big deal to some, but if you are a runner you know what this means: flopping many days, not just one!
So now my running schedule will be:
Sunday – long
Monday – short recovery
Tuesday – off
Wednesday – 5 or so
Thursday – 4 or so
Friday – 3 and a bike ride/swim
Saturday – Off
Of course this means either run tonight, four nights in a row, or take two nights off. Still not sure what I’ll be doing.
In other news, my blood work all came back normal! The doctor seems to think my blood pressure could have been dropping, but as I posted earlier, I’m not convinced.
Since all is thankfully well, I’m going to be cutting back just a bit on my runs and eating more. I’ve gained back a few pounds already – I’m sick of eating all the time, but it’s working!
I added in the gatorade to my runs, and this Sunday – new long run day of course! – will be adding in eating a power bar during the run for the extra calories and energy.
So far, I have felt better this week. I believe the extra calories and the cross training is working.
And how have your runs been?
And happy Easter!

Hi Kath – So glad to hear that the CBC came back normal. I know it’s frustrating to not have a clear answer, but I think you’re on to something with your theories.
Thank you for leaving the comment on my blog. My exercise has been less than stellar, but as you can see, I’ve got the eating part down pat. I was thinking how nice it would be if we lived closer…you could kick my butt on the exercise front to get meat OFF of my bones, and I could make you delicious eats to get the meat ON your bones. It would be like a wellness barter of sorts
Chriss last blog post..Holy Calorie Count Batman!

That would be so great :0)! I would love to be eating the meals you cook lol!! I was thinking about you last night as I made chicken. It was a rachael ray recipe and turned out really good, and I thought about taking a picture and posting it for you lol. You’re doing fine with your goals – don’t be too hard on yourself, we all hit bumps :0) I’m there now – I’ve been having a more difficult time getting out and running, which generally doesn’t happen. I think sometimes life gets in the way!
