Weekly Workout Roundup (Week One)

Happy Hump Day!

Every Wednesday, I'm planning on recapping my yoga workouts from the prior week. 

After this evening's class, I will have completed 7 days in a row of yoga...and so far, I am loving it! Already, my back feels so much better, my posture is more aligned, and I feel more relaxed and at ease throughout the day. 

Side note: I haven't had one sip of alcohol since New Years Eve. I bet that has something to do with how great I feel...along with a normal, non-holiday eating schedule. 

Week One Recap:

Thursday: YoStrong @ Wanderlust - 60 minutes, heated, with weights

Friday: Bittersweet Yoga @ Wanderlust - 60 minutes, not heated, no weights 

Saturday: YoStrong @ Wanderlust - 60 minutes, heated, with weights
                   Run - 30 minutes, outdoors

Sunday: Jillian Michaels Yoga @ Home (YouTube) - 30 minutes, not heated, no weights
                 Daily Yoga iPhone App @ Home - 15 minutes, not heated, no weights
                 Run - 30 minutes, outdoors

Monday: Daily Yoga iPhone App @ Home - 45 minutes, not heated, no weights

Tuesday: YoStrong @ Wanderlust - 60 minutes, heated, with weights

Wednesday: Intermediate Vinyasa @ Wanderlust - 75 minutes, not heated, no weights

I am alternating days of the heated sessions because I really lose a lot of water in sweat during those classes. I am doing my best to stay as hydrated as possible.

I'm also trying to squeeze in a few runs throughout the week to keep in somewhat decent running shape. The Austin 3M half marathon is coming up in 10 days, and I'm a little nervous about it because I haven't ventured out on a long run in a while. Hopefully the whole "fresh legs" theory will come into play during the race. 

I haven't decided if I want to have a specific goal to finish under a certain time or if I'd rather just say I want to run the entire thing (without walking) and finish it under some crazy slow time. Thankfully, the entire race is downhill. 

In the back of my mind, I want to keep it under 2 hours, but that barely happened in May during the Pittsburgh Half (when I was actually training), so I'm not sure how realistic that goal might be. 

I know the whole 1,000 mile goal has passed and ended, but I received an email from my mileage tracker (Dailymile.com) with my 2013 training recap. I got pretty again excited when I saw it:

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Stay warm.
