Hello! How are you? Are you ready for week 3 of Pile on the Miles?! (Yes you are.) We are getting deeper into the holiday season with all the cookies and treats and parties and stress. It’s YOUR job to keep yourself healthy and balanced.
Yesterday I ran about 9 miles around Orange County. My left baby cow (calve/calf/whatever is the science term) was still soooooo tight. I’ve tried to stretch it and yell at it and be nice to it and massage it, but nothing works. So I cut what was supposed to be my long run short.
I stretched a lot when I got home whilst eating watermelon and watching Bravo. You know how I do.
A little bit later these little kids were selling fruit as a fundraiser for their church. I will never turn down Jesus or fruit so you know I got some.
Then, in a weird twist of events my plans for the Las Vegas Half Marathon (#stripatnight) were foiled due to a tiny last minute crisis. So, I headed to Palm Springs to spend some quality time with my best friend.
You can’t be sad about foiled plans when they involve hanging out with your favorite tiny person at some point. (I’m going to see my niece on the way home.)
Bonus: My bestie’s husband is an amazing cook and she’s fun and I’m kinda okay. So together we balance out to make a so-so person.
GOOD LUCK to everyone running the Avenger’s Half Marathon and Rock N Roll Las Vegas Half or Full Marathon!!!!
Gooooooooo!!!
Pile on the Miles Week 3 GOALS
What are your goals for this week? Share them in the comments!
Remember to report in each day to stay accountable.
Avengers was so fun!! This was my first fall half marathon of the season and first avengers at Disneyland. perfect race day conditions and great spectators.
I’m hoping to at least get in 15 miles this week. It has been harder to get the weekend runs in with my current schedule, so I’m really only guaranteed to do the weekday runs.
goal is to work out every day, but also try something new!
today’s workout: spinning class followed by 4 slowish miles to shake out the legs. couch the rest of the day 🙂
My goal is 10 miles this week!
Goal is 85000 steps this week!
To build up my mileage and perhaps get my knee checked out because it has been hurting but felt better over the weeknd :)/:(.
I did run 4 miles 11/15 and then drove 300 miles home from a weekend getaway for my cousin’s wedding.
My goal is to run 3 times this week and do at least one strength workout!
Goal is to do some kind of cardio 5 days, and if scheduling issues get in the way, then five times (e.g. two workouts in one day to make up for none on another day).
My goal this week is to walk everyday. Bonus if I can run!
Goals for the week = 3x out for a run
3x strength train

Goal for this: run 4 days this week and keep up with boxing.
POTM-week 3 goal check into the gym 5 times and run 30 mins 3 times
My goal is to move every day this week. I’m having some thyroid hormone problems (I don’t have a thyroid!) so activity currently takes a lot more work than it normally should. I consider myself lucky that I’ve run nine marathons so I know that I can physically run, and that helps get over the exertion. 🙂
Going to follow the TIU weekly schedule!
This is my last week before I start tapering for my marathon so my goal for this week is to hit at least 50 miles including a 20-22 miler next Saturday. LET’S DO THIS!
Run at least 3 times this week, would also like to get in a long run this weekend, need to get back on those after a short break!
My goal is to eat healthier this week and allow myself a cheat day. I want to see if this helps or makes me even crazier. I ran 8 miles today and felt great.
From Sunday-Saturday I’m going to exercise for 16 miles (bike, run, walk) and plank for 5 minutes!
