Pile on the Miles Day 2!! Hopefully today’s podcast episode will be a little more smooth (and fun). Check it out and check in on my daily Run Report on Instagram. Show up.
Motivation of the day…
My run log: Thursdays – usually strength training. Full body – but probably focus extra on legs.
RER Reader / Runner Tip of the day is from Tina aka @carrotsncake
RER: You can give another runner ONE tip. What is it?
Carrots n Cake: LISTEN to your body, especially when it relates to your training. You might have 9 miles on your training plan and think that you NEED to stick to it to see results, but if you’re injured, sick, over-training, etc., it’s okay to scale back to prevent injury, prolonging sickness, or additional inflammation. Sometimes forcing a training run is way worse than taking a rest day.
What do you do when you feel like quitting? Have a mantra? Trick? Other??
CNC: “You’re stronger than you think.” Mind over matter! And then just take it one mile at a time.
What’s your secret to staying motivated?
CNC: Not taking my health for granted. Someday, I won’t be able to run or exercise, but today is not that day, so I take full advantage.
P.S. Tina wrote a book called Carrots N Cake and has a pug and introduced me to Mary Lou’s iced coffee in Boston.
Oh… and I just found this picture – I think from Fitbloggin’ 4 or 5 years ago? HA!!
Instagram challenge for Day 2
Day 2 Run Scavenger Hunt task: take a Pre Run Pic
Don’t forget to use hashtag #TeamRER and @RunEatRepeat to be entered in the scavenger hunt contest!!
** For some reason (maybe because I’m a mess) I listed Day 2 – “Lunch” in the list but everywhere else the item of the day is “Pre-Run pic”. You can do EITHER the Pre-Run pic OR Lunch Day 2 and the other one Day 3.**
I only did about 1.5 no time 11/2
Took a 50 minute walk today; was hoping to get a run in during the evening, but it didn’t happen. Hasta mañana!
Rest day! Did two walks though – one with my teenager because I’m encouraging her do something each day for POTM and she still likes my company 🙂
Day 2 ending with 13734/10000 steps (gonna try and hit 14 before midnight). Long walk with my pup and a cardio kickboxing/yoga/Pilates workout (45 minute video)
I ran 2 miles today!
I ran a mid-day 5k during my lunch break at work. The initial plan was a morning run but when that extra early alarm went off, my body needed a little more r and r, so I opted to go to with ‘plan b’ during lunchtime.
Ballet today!
I exceeded my goal today! I ran five miles this morning and walked to and from school (work). I got 24,000 steps in. I am beat! Good night all!
Got in a 5K this morning with a tapering pal
I did a quick at home hiit workout
2.5 interval miles on the treadmill done this morning.
Ran 2 miles yesterday! Plan to get a couple more in today.
AM: Dog Run
Lunch: windy walk
PM: 2 miles
I ran two miles yesterday- I’m trying to keep my heart rate down due to the fertility treatment 🙂 It’s proving harder than I thought! I just want to run fast and far. I am running after work today, and I’m really cherishing my running time for my sanity. Infertility is hard!
Heidi,
Managing your heart rate is so hard when you just want to let loose! Keep it up you’ll get there. And my prayers for your treatments. That’s hard work too.
I ran four miles this morning and managed to make it home before the rain started!
Nice work!
Ran 2.4 miles today! Goal was 2 miles
I ran 3 miles this morning before work at around 6am!
Normally, I like to get out by 5:30 and the weather has also played a role in my morning runs. Today, it was foggy/misty here in Texas but I still went out because I needed to run.
I do have the opportunity to run later in the day before lunch but it’s not my favorite time.
One of my goals for the month is to stop being so rigid.
Note to self: Doing something different shouldn’t be this difficult!
I swam this morning!
My workout today will be a 1-2 miles short run!
Actually today’s scavenger hunt pic is LUNCH. Tomorrow is the pre-run pic.
Ah! I made a mistake – on the podcast and blog I said it’s the pre-run pic. Tomorrow is supposed to be lunch because it’s National Sandwich Day. Either way I’ll take it.
I love the motivation quote – always rise to new challenges!
