Oh boy, tough race yesterday. I don’t know what it is about me and the 10k, but we are not friends.
I still managed a small pr, but not near the paces that I wanted. Full recap on that tomorrow!
For today, I’m back to sharing my week in workouts and the menu plan. This was somewhat of a recovery week for me, trying to recover from the half before I raced again. I generally give myself two weeks of recovery post half, and could definitely tell my legs were tired yesterday. Lesson learned!
Bagpipes and my best cheerleader
Recap from the week:
Sunday: Sugarland Half Marathon (1:35:25)
Monday: pm- 3.25 recovery run in the Virratas, 10 minutes of core/push ups
Tuesday: last minute emergency sub for a 5:15 am spin class (ouch! too early!) + pm spin class
Wednesday: arms + 3.5 walk
Thursday: 4.25 easy run + Cathe’s Shoulders dvd
Friday: Off and strawberry picking!
Saturday: 1.5 warm up miles + 10k race followed by spin class and tired legs!
I’m planning to meet May this morning for a recovery run.
Sunday: Curried Egg Salad Sandwiches or over spinach salad
Monday: Roast chicken and potatoes, salad
Tuesday: Tomato poached eggs with diced avocado and brown rice
Wednesday: Family night at the university- dinner and baseball game
Thursday: Spaghetti Squash Pie (madeover spaghetti pie)
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Breakfast for dinner or out
We’ll also be eating our strawberries from Friday’s picking fun!
Thanks also to those of you who helped spread the word about my health coaching or run coach services. Health coaching begins at half price until my final graduation in October, and running coach services are also discounted for those who sign up during March. I have room for a few more of each. And I’m really excited to work with those of you who have reached out!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Link up your menu plan, and check out a few other plans for inspiration.
Boy, you had a busy workout week! Congrats on a successful race yesterday, even if you were tired.
Strawberry picking sounds fun–I’d like to do that! Have a great Sunday.

I ran 15 miles Friday, but I’m glad I was able to take it slowly after last Saturday’s half marathon. It would have been hard to be racing again like you did. Congrats on the finish! I love strawberry picking!

Nice busy week! Where did you pick strawberries?! I would love to take my 2 little guys strawberry picking.
I am totally jealous you can already strawberry pick where you are! We still have another couple months until we can berry pick, we absolutely love doing it and freezing some for the first part of the winter!

You had a super busy week! Two PRs?! That is freaking awesome. It doesn’t matter if the PR is by a second or less, a PR is a PR. You are having a fantastic year!

Great week!! I miss strawberry picking in Florida. It was so fun to go out and pick them.

Ah…you didn’t tell me that you taught 2 classes on Tuesday! Very nice! I have to say, Lily’s outfit is adorable! Thanks for the great run today. Definitely wouldn’t have done it without the company.
What a busy week! Take that small PR with open arms – it is extra special because you did it on tired legs. And there must be another one due soon when you are properly prepared!
Happy strawberry eating!

Oh my goodness your legs must be exhausted after yesterday! You go girl!

Congrats on your PR! Think of it as a PR in the same weeks as another PR and not as ‘barely’ a PR
I hope you are resting a lot now.
I ran a 20K this morning and I think I pushed it a bit too hard from being 3 weeks out of a full marathon. Super fun race though! And I set myself a 10K challenge to break for the summer, so I will be looking for some good local 10Ks to race

Nice job recovering this week after your big half. I feel like I’m hearing about these Cathe DVDs all over the place. They’re all low impact, right? Does the shoulders DVD work just the shoulders? I’m looking for something that will do no legs at all to use on cross training days to give my legs a break.

Oh my goodness, how the heck did you PR on the heels of a half marathon? You are seriously so amazing.
Strawberry picking sounds like so much fun!! Your daughter looks like she’s enjoying herself.
I’d love to say I’m ready to meal-plan link-up, but I have no clue what we’re eating this week. I need to work on cleaning the freezer out. Somehow it’s full yet I feel like there’s nothing to eat in there. Now how is that possible?

We loved strawberry picking when we lived in Cali! Fields were everywhere. You could smell strawberries In the air during strawberry season.
