Hello! How was week 2 of Pile on the Miles Challenge? You have one more day to get in those miles. Do it.
I did a shake out run but my left baby cow calf calve is so super tight it’s crazy. I got a massage, but think I need a sports massage to really get the spot.
Breakfast was oatmeal with tons of toppings. I’m all about the toppings for oatmeal and fro-yo. And sometimes pizza, but mostly I keep pizza simple. Anyway. Now I want pizza.
Back to breakfast… I have recently come to an epiphany that I want to be healthy to feel good and prevent illness and disease. I’m sad about my Aunt and another close family member being sick. There is no cure for cancer but I want to try and prevent it as much as possible.
Vegas is not feeling me today, or ever. So he’s not my friend today.
Now to explain the title of this post…
A million years ago Ben and I used to joke about playing “Burny Burny Cut Cut” which was from some movie I totally don’t remember. I do remember it was basically someone who enjoyed torturing someone else with a little burn / cut game.
I looked it up and it was the movie Year One.
Well, I got a tragic paper CUT today while cooking dinner.
Then, I got a steam BURN. It was like back to back injuries. And so I started saying I got a burny burny cut cut and had to look it up to put the joke in context.
Turns out I wrote a blog post with that title in 2010! Ha! And it was about how I got a bad chafing cut from my running belt after running a 16 miler.
HA!!!! That is so weird to see this.
Luckily dinner still turned out great! I got a Blue Apron delivery this week and it was AMAZING. Seriously. I might go sneak the leftovers right now.
Pile on the Miles Friday Check In
It’s almost the end of week 2. Get it done!
oh that is the worst back to back silly injuries! paper cuts are the worst though, evil little demon cuts.
Love the sunflower apron!
First regret of taking a blogging break….missing out on pile the miles! What an awesome challenge. I’m trying to commit to the holiday run streak again this year. Which brings me to, I can’t believe thanksgiving is in two weeks
Walking is the recovery workout for me today.
I took Friday off in anticipation of my half marathon!
45 min treadmill workout done after work Friday!
I got my long run in this morning (hit the wall like a mac truck). But I missed one run this week and got 0 strength training in.
Didn’t get to do an official workout, but my apple watch said i walked 14,000 steps and over 5 miles.
Ok I really do love your blog but PLEASE no more pics of cuts, scratches, blood, roadkill, etc. I get that you find it funny/random, but I read your blog for actual running and fitness advice and these gross unecessary tidbits ruin my experience as a reader. I love reading about your life and I enjoy your sense of humor! Just not the gross-out pics – I’m eating over here!! (Barf)
Sorry Sasha. I don’t mean to gross ya out. I’ll try to limit that or give a big warning first.
Got in a run today with my SIL’s and felt great!
Friday it’s rest day 🙂
This week was better than last week but not where I want to be. At least things are moving in the right direction…
ran 1 mile and did weights.
Today is a rest day, I did go for a walk and am still hoping to hit my 5 miles today. But man after working out the past 4 nights, running and bootcamp my lower back is killing me!
I ran 4.5 miles this morning and walked 2.5. I am almost at 30k steps for the day. I made the two ingredient brownies and took them to work today. They were a big hit. I need all of these miles for all of the brownies I ate. I am a weight watcher and they are pretty low in points! Score!
3 miles yesterday, plus lots of stairs and lifting while we unpacked all the stuff in our new house! Today, nothing. I’m wiped.
Strength 3/3 today. Long run tomorrow will put me at 4/4 cardio and 3/3 strength this week – wee!
i couldn’t get your website to come up last night, so 2 days check-in…
thursday was an hour on the elliptical
friday was an hour on the stairmill
happy friday all!!
4 mile run in the books
I ran 13.1 miles this morning…id say I met my goal of a min 40 min exercise session..
Did a 3 mile walk and 30 squats. I have passed my goal for the week. Yay!!
I suck at checking in, but I’m awesome at piling on the miles! I’m on run streak day 14 and managed 4 miles today. I’m on target to hit my 35 for the week!
Walked more miles today than I have in YEARS! Hooray for me!
Made it to the gym this morning. Lifted and then did 30 min run
4 fabulous miles at the park, nice day for a cool run
I hope your burny burny cut cut isn’t too bad!
I’m taking the dog on her pup-to-5k and then I’ll do a little home yoga practice.
I ran 3 miles today!
Ran 10 miles today. I’m in Michigan and we had 25+ mph winds. At one point I had freezing rain pelting my face. That was fun.
Got the last few miles in today to hit my 10 mile total! 5 total miles today!
So far this week, I’ve gotten in 4.25 miles. I’m excited. I hope to get in another 2 today.
32.5 miles this week. Met my goal and planning to celebrate with a badly needed REST DAY tomorrow!
Had to drive 3 hours today for my daughter’s competition and I work overnights tonight. So instead of Piling on the Miles, I’ll to try to get in a pre-night-shift nap.
Cortisone shot in the hip today. No running. Planning on some yoga next week to help my recovery!
Got in 6 miles on the treadmill. Had planned to run outside but the wind made me change my mind. I turned on sling tv and had a great run too!
POTM- 2 miles on the incline treadmill =)
I have to confess I planned to go running today but I stayed up too late playing video games on the iPad. So now, because of my aversion to running after work, I won’t get the miles in that I wanted to. Maybe I can run more tomorrow? Not sure.
3 miles on the elliptical this morning!
Today is a rest day, but I hit my goal of 5 days of working out this week! Including…running, yoga and 1 strength training day! Woo hoo!!!
2 miles this morning, another mile at lunch for a grand total of 3!
Running 3 today, and a group run planned for 7 miles tomorrow! I will have surpassed my goal of 19 miles 🙂
Rest day today, running a 5K Parkrun race tomorrow.. Your breakfast looks proper healthy… Looks tasty too though.. 🙂
Rest day before my long run tomorrow!
workout 5/5 completed! goal met! a couple of hours of combat practice!
Ran an easy 6, plan to run 16 tomorrow bringing the weeks total to 48 for the week which surpasses my goal!
Did a very hilly 6miles. My most challenging course (even if it’s not the longest). I need to do 5 tomorrow to stay on track with my goals.
Ran six today. My hilliest, most challenging course (even if it’s not my longest). I need to do five more tomorrow to stay on target!
This morning was 30 min of Yoga Meltdown. This whole recovery business is driving me crazy. Hopefully by Sunday I will get the green light for some running.
Not sure what I’m going to do today yet. Definitely some strength training and maybe a HIIT workout if I’m feeling up for it.
oooo rough cut!! that looks really bad 🙁 I hate those sorts of cuts and burns. bad enough that it hurts a LOT, not so bad to need actual attention. Today…. not sure. it’s a BEAUTIFUL day in LA, so maybe after work before laundry i’ll go for a run or hike?? its just so gorgeous out!!
17k done straight before work!
Easy elliptical today
spin class!
2 miles + a quick WOD + 100 weighted squats!
7 mile tempo today, followed by running around with 2 toddlers. I’m not sure which workout will be harder!
Today i finished off the week with 30 minutes of full body strength with some abs and cardio bursts thrown in.
Today I did a lower body weight work out … 21 day fix. Tomorrow is a run.. probably just 4 so that makes me short a run for the week. This week has been a bit crappy for working out but I’ve gotten a lot done around the house. That’s important right?
3 mile run this morning before school and plan to take the dog for a 2 mile walk when I get home!
Going to the gym for a quick 3 miles since winter has hit!
I am so excited! I have fulfilled both parts of my commitment by getting in 6 workouts already this week and I just hit the 30 mile mark. Been really enjoying the workouts and the sweat makes me feel like I’m getting a good burn…not a burny burny cut cut, but the good kind of fat burn we all want so bad! 🙂
I finished up my mileage goal last night at boot camp!!! I started this morning with a Boot camp/Tabata/HIT workout….all I can say is BRUTAL!!!
Yesterday I did my crosstraining workout with ShaunT. Insanity is the best. I got up this morning for a short run and the winds were over 20 mph. hmmm I’ve got to get something in later…..
Went on a nice walk by the river yesterday when the car was getting serviced. Plus I’ve done my physio exercises every day!
Treadmill run — 2.75 miles of incline/speedy goodness
Rest day today, woohoo! 18 miles on tap for tomorrow, making my total for the week 37.
Yoga day. May try that Yoga for Runners you had on yesterday’s post.
5-mile run with the bestie!
I’m still riding my bike!! It’s better than nothing but not running kind of sucks!
If all goes as planned I will complete 3 miles today, which will bring my total to 13 miles for the week!
Went to the gym for a Rockstar Training class this morning. Did not get all of my running in this week, however by tomorrow, I will still have exercised 5 days so I’m going to say I’m still semi-winning. 😉
Ran 7 yesterday, 47 minutes on the elliptical and strength early this morning!
Have a good weekend!
Rest day yesterday, so just a quick walk. Today in supposed to do another 3-4 miles, but something just popped up, so if I don’t do it today, I’ll make it up tomorrow.
Boxing and a 4 mile run
