Re: H&F Challenge Check-in
Are you getting closer to any of your goals? Yes! I'm on track so far on my Half Marathon training plan. I haven't been counting calories, but I haven't been overeating at all.
Did you stick to your plan last week? For the most part! I didn't do the workouts on the days I had planned, but I did all of the workouts except legs strength training.
AWs from last week? Just that I got most of my workouts in.
Problems or struggles? See my answer to "worst H&F experience" lol
H&F Plan for this week? M: 3 mile run. T: Arms/shoulders strength training. W: Speedwork. Th: Legs/back strength training. F: Crosstrain. Sa: 6 mile run. Su: Rest.
What's your food weakness? How often do you have this food? Mac and cheese. I just can't stop eating it. That's why I try not to make it too often.
Do you have a "worst H&F experience" story? This is TMI and gross. So I had a 9 mile run yesterday and it was horrible. I forgot my headphones which sucked. And I forgot my asthma inhaler which made me a little nervous since the cold doesn't get along with my asthma. I planned an out and back, so 4.5 miles then turn around and go back. Right when I got to the halfway point, all of a sudden I had to go to the bathroom so bad. And when I say bathroom, I don't mean #1. The problem was I was 4.5 miles away from my car and 2 miles away from the closest gas station/store with a bathroom. That was the longest 2 miles of my life! I had to walk most of it because running just made things worse. Luckily I made it to the bathroom though. But then my asthma started acting up since I went from the cold outside, to the warm inside, and then back out into the cold. And my stomach muscles kept cramping. So I pretty much walked the entire second half of the run. From now on, I am going to plan my long runs closer to bathrooms lol.

Are you getting closer to any of your goals? yes. I just have 4 more workouts left to do in this stage of NROLFW. At my current rate of 2 lifting workouts/week, I'm on track to finish the stage before I leave for Christmas vacation.
Did you stick to your plan last week? mostly! I skipped 1 swim, but did my other 3 workouts.
AWs from last week? nothing major. I maintained the weights I was lifting or went up a little on a few exercises.
Problems or struggles? My muscles have been sore for longer than usual after my past few workouts. I need to stretch better and learn how to foam roll.
H&F Plan for this week? lift twice, swim twice, take a pole dance class
What's your food weakness? How often do you have this food? chocolate. not too often anymore. I can go weeks without having it now. I've turned into a snob- I want good chocolate, not just any cheap chocolate. Or oreos. I looooooove oreos.
Do you have a "worst H&F experience" story? A few weeks ago I was doing bench presses with dumbbells and decided to try the next weight up. I'd done it before, but my arms were more tired than I thought. I managed to barely lift them up...then couldn't hold them there and smacked myself on the temple with a 30lb dumbbell. Luckily the weight room was empty (Satuday afternoon during football season!), so I don't think anybody saw. My head was tender for the next 2 weeks, but no obvious bruise.
I slept in this morning and therefore, did not make it to bootcamp.
I am going this evening.
Are you getting closer to any of your goals? I finished up Stage 1 last week, currently in my rest week and start Stage 2 Thursday. I should be able to complete it by the end of the year. I haven't run at all, which sucks big time.
Did you stick to your plan last week? I got my lifting workouts in, but I didn't run. I also ate like crazy and had a lot of beer this weekend, but I had planned on that.
AWs from last week? Eh, same old stuff.
Problems or struggles? Well, now I have to move by the end of the year, so that's going to take up some more time. And I'm working 70 hours next week. So, time continues to be a struggle.
H&F Plan for this week? Start Stage 2 on Thursday. Maybe go running tonight.
What's your food weakness? How often do you have this food? French fries. Hmm, every other week or so.
Do you have a "worst H&F experience" story? I can't think of anything, but Kaylee's story reminds me of this blog post. The rest of this blog is great, too.
