Hello! How was your weekend? Do anything fun? Eat anything delicious?? Run the Revel Marathon or Half Marathon?
I did all of those things and it was great!! But I am sore today. Whew! It is a little challenging to go from sitting to standing, but it’s a good kinda burn. It’s really weird that after a marathon I’m not sure hungry, I’m mostly thirsty and confused…
confused about what I want to eat, confused about what I just did to my body and why I did it, confused about the meaning of life… but the day after a marathon I am hungry the entire day.
Post-race I bought some random munchies and shared a flatbread pizza with Ben. I mostly just relaxed and recovered the rest of the day.
This morning we took a little walk to get coffee and a treat. We used to do it as a little tradition each week and it was nice to bring it back.
I made breakfast when we got back – chilaquiles. I have a ton of corn tortillas so I’m basically going to be putting them in everything for a while.
Then, it was off to church where I prayed very hard that I wouldn’t lose all my toenails. Amen. (I usually don’t since my feet are used to it but since this was a downhill race I felt them super sore right after.)
This weather is perfection. I love it!
And since it’s Sunday and I’m a mess, lunch was salad eaten at the counter with my hand, then some leftover brownies. I’m not fancy.

Pile on the Miles Week 2
– you should have left your goal for this week on my Sunday post here. Today share your goal or mileage or workout for Monday.
Day 1, Week 2: Strength done!
After spending the weekend with my super cute (but snotty) nephews and nieces, I have come down with a cold. Spent the day on the couch, no workout.
Monday I walked and strength trained as it was a rest day from running.
ran 2 miles this morning and did an ab workout!
I was awful today and didn’t do anything. 🙁 I left my house at 7:15 am and didn’t get home until 10:45 pm. So, I literally had no time! But, my Fitbit said I walked 13,000 steps, so I guess I got some walking in!
Oops. Forgot to check in yesterday and was away this weekend so didn’t get online at all. Goals for the week are 4 runs (3-3 mile and 1-6 mile) and 2 cross training days. Yesterday was an unplanned rest day since I was catching up on sleep from the weekend.
Travelled over the weekend and had a bit of a fail on my workouts but the good news is I am getting back to it!
Monday was a rest day, I was exhausted from the flying etc.
Goal for the rest of the week is at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, and a total of 24 miles running by Sunday night.
Walk and physio: done and done!
today was a 2 miles to/from walk, and a hard spinning class. always feels so good on a monday though.
ran 3 miles and taught barre!
Instructor led Insanity class today! Also stayed within my calorie goal
I ran a mile, then did weights.
Today I did 30 minutes of cardio: 15 minutes cycling and 15 minutes on the gazelle.
I crossed trained this morning and ran 2.5 miles after work.
Ran 4.5 miles on the treadmill.
Did 8 min abs workout.
Today it’s more “peel of the pounds” menu planning and pre-cooking (a day late) for lunch and dinner this week
Ill be putting in miles on my bike this week until my shins feel better and I can actually walk normally again after Revel!! My goal is 30-35 miles on the bike this week.
3 miles (racing the setting sun) and some strength training!
Today I warmed up with 2.5miles then hit up a Zumba class. Whoohoo got my groove back!!
My goal for this week is 20 miles- started today off with 4, and speedwork!
My goal for this week is six works outs and 30 miles, total. Doing pretty good so far, with 10 miles total.
6 miles this afternoon in the most beautiful weather!
Pile on the Miles is helping me stay focused to not make excuses here & there. I started the week well & got out for a quick 5k run. I even invited my husband at the last second (which I never do, his long legs are much quicker than mine).
I walked for 25 minutes today! It was a cool crisp fall morning-I loved it. I feel really motivated this week!
My goal is to run 18 miles this week and go to yoga at least once. I did 3 miles today.
Today I didn’t get towards my week goal of 10 miles (too many dr. appointments after work!) but I still hit my everyday goal of at least 10,000 steps (12000 today)!
Today I was up before the sun and ran 3 miles plus strides! Wahoo!
Yesterday (Sunday) I ran 5, and today (my normal rest day) was a 2 mile walk with my dad! Going well so far 🙂 goal for the week is 19 miles, so I only have 14 left!
Week two has started well, 9.18 miles yesterday and 3.03 today (a very sitting-down-day at work!!) so that’s 12.21 towards this week’s 30 miles!! I should be running tomorrow, although am husbandless for a few weeks so am relegated to the treadmill 🙁 plus I gave blood today so I’ll see what my body thinks….
I ran 5.25 miles today. So glad to see Ben back! Love that red dress- it looks great on you!
Rest day!
#POTM15 I always start the week strong and then it just…fizzles 😉 But had started this week strong with 6km/3.7m on the bike and 2k/1.2m run plus some kettle bells cos I love them. Gym sesh #1 of the week 🙂
I did some speed work (1.5 miles total) and a Nike Training Club ab workout.
Ran 3 miles this morning, so that’s one of my five days of cardio and one of my three runs for the week!
Goal is 4 days of running plus one Body Pump class. Hopefully my second week of Body Pump will hurt less than last week!
Cycle class!
4.35
Rest day from running today, but I am playing church league volleyball tonight.
5 miles and plank work today!
10
rest day from running, but I did 30 minutes of yoga
I’m using today as a rest day since I am still recovering from an awful migraine from yesterday. I feel very dehydrated today. 🙁
I will list my weekly goals on your Sunday post.
Thanks for the motivation!
Strength class at the gym, then 15 minutes on the Elliptical
More than a 1/3 of monthly goal completed already. Hectic schedule this week. Ran 6 km this morning, rest day tomorrow, aiming for 10 km on Wed, 8 km on Friday, and 10 km on Saturday.
Today is a rest day for me! Tomorrow I will be running.
Plan to run 4-6 miles. And abs! 🙂
Hit 3.5miles this morning, to stay on schedule for my monthly I need to be over 20miles by tomorrow so I need to hit only 4 to be on track.
Got in a 3 mile run this morning, a 1.2 mile walk with my pooch, and i have TKD class tonight. Hoping for 4 days of running this week and slightly longer runs.
Run group is supposed to happen today, but again, it’s raining… pouring actually and a high of 51. Lame. So I may do a workout video instead to keep myself active. Send me your good weather!
5 miles today
I hit spin class this morning, recovering from a half yesterday!
I ran a 20 mile race yesterday as part of my marathon training, so today I’m super sore! I’m taking a rest day to recover, so I’m just planning a 2 mile walk with my doggie when I’m home from work. 🙂
I ran 5 miles this morning. I’m still sore from my HIIT class on Saturday, but I pushed through!
Missed my goal for last week, but threw in a lot of cross-training. Hope to get 20 miles this week.
I’m pretty sore from my half marathon yesterday, but I’m going to take the dog for her run/walk and do some yoga to stretch out the aches.
3 miles during lunch great weather … no coat required wow !
That dress is so pretty and so simple! I need more stuff like this, but to be honest the weather in the UK is so cold I have to really wrap up warm! I’m not doing pile on the miles as I’m still in recovery for an injury, but they’re gradually creeping up which makes me happy 🙂
Today is a rest day, so I will be going for a nice long walk! My mileage goal for the week is 40 running miles, plus 6 miles cross training 🙂
8 k run today!
I did 3 miles today, on track to hit 9 for this week!
Starting the week off right with back/biceps this morning!
I went to my 6 am boot camp this morning! Starting the week off right!!
Today I got up early and ran on the treadmill because I knew I wouldn’t be able to fit in a run after work. Thanks for the motivation with POTM! I love the accountability aspect (along with everything else).
30 min of power yoga this morning.
Check in for today: 4 mile recovery run and 40 minute elliptical
Have a great week!
My goal is to do a post-Revel 3-mile shakeout run. Hopefully my legs will cooperate!
INSANITY work out today!
just got to work, had a healthy breakfast, drinking my coffee… after work today I am either going to the Y to start my free week, or going to the storage unit place to set up my storage so I can start moving out aaahhh
Went to the Pinner’s Conference this weekend -so fun! I hope to get 4 miles in tonight for my goal. Made it my goal last week!
ran 3.4 miles and then did the dirty thirty 21 day fix workout!
Today I Recover from my 70.3 on Saturday. I may try to run a few miles later, but for now I catch up on housework.
Planning to do 8×800 today! 4 more weeks until St Jude Marathon!
Woke up for my first half of my first workout of the week. My husband had my car blocked in (his car is standard and I can’t move it!) so I did some weights in the den before work. I will do my cardio workout after work (i.e. Speed walking in the cold darkness).
I ran 4.4 this morning. I had to push myself out the door because it was 27 degrees and the wind was 11 mph! I was very happy because my average time was 9.1 mph which is incredible for me. 🙂 Tomorrow – my long run.
3 miles plus bicep/tricep weights
Yesterday was a 37 mile ride, today I’m trying for at least 15, but it’s COOOOLD outside!
Running 3 miles later this afternoon!
Running to crossfit tonight!
Zumba class!
I did Boxing boot camp today and planning to get out and run 4 days this week.
Rest today.
Today is a rest day, but I will be getting in some barre or yoga, because my overall goal is to do some version of exercise everyday 🙂
Strength day!
Got in 4 semi-speedy miles this morning and some weights. Getting my legs back on track after a lot of marathon miles this weekend.
Teaching BODYPUMP tonight for my workout 🙂
Good start for POTM 15 miles this week- ran for an hour this morning and covered 6.8 miles. That’s fast for me!
Started the day off with a 2.7 mile walk! I’m getting there!!
On Monday’s my cousin and I walk while her son is in Catechism. It’s a good way to meet my daily goal!
Rocked some pilates this morning!
Rest day for me!!
My goal for the week was to get a long run done, and it happened!! 10 miles on the books yesterday morning!
After work going for a 4 mile recovery run!
Just got in 3 miles and some core workout this morning.
I started the week off great. The weather was fabulous in Pennsylvania this weekend. I had a great confidence boosting run on Sunday. I will have a recap of it on my blog tomorrow. Check it out if you have time! Thanks for the pile on the miles motivation!
PS That red dress is super cute!
Did my 3 days of kickboxing this week and ran 20 miles (including a half marathon yesterday)! Now that my race is over, I’m going to count on your challenge to keep me motivated 😀
Today is an unplanned rest day–hoping to get back at it tomorrow!
I am still in the resting phase post-marathon but might get a little walk in, and maybe some yoga.
I’m planning to do the 30DS when I get off work later today!
Completed my Monday morning workout that included the treadmill and lower body exercises. Pile On The Miles has helped me stay motivated.
day 1 out of 5 days of working out completed! taught bodycombat this morning!
Today I’ll run some yasso repeats. With warm up and cool down 6 miles total.
Since my weekly goal is 30 miles, today I will cycle to/from work (15 miles) as usual, but then run 4.5 miles when I get home. It’s always hard going back out into the cold dark night after work, but it’ll only take 40 minutes, and I’ll feel great for it afterwards. Plus, I’m roasting some sweet potatoes for dinner, so I can multi-task.
I absolutely MUST hit my goal of 100 miles for POTM15 – and I only did 18 miles last week. Time to get moving.
