While many of you are probably jumping up and down that today is Friday, I’ll be honest, it’s my Sunday. Kind of a bummer, huh? But it’s been a great week and I’m looking forward to the weeks and months ahead of me. I mean, it’s fall after all, who wouldn’t be happy?
My full run this past week was just under 6 1/2 miles (whew!) and I ran it in my new Lunar Glides which I love! But Monday morning I found myself experiencing a good amount of discomfort and pain in my upper left shoulder / trapezius & spine. Very similar to the pain I had earlier in the summer that was deemed Costochondritis. I’m not sure if that’s what this was, even in the early stages but I took a day of rest Tuesday, some ibuprofen and eased back into my workouts. There’s no need for injury.
And despite the pain, I had a great week of workouts and stuck to what felt good for my body each day. That’s important to note, whether you’re healthy, sick, injured or anything in between.
I also made sure to keep up with Courtney’s yoga challenge to really stretch out my muscles and prepare them for the next run or workout scheduled. Flexibility training is just as important.
Anyway, here’s what the week looked like:
I’m really trying to buckle down with the studying which sometimes means taking myself to Starbucks to study so I can get a change of scenery and focus.
Happy Friday!
Any fun plans for your weekend?
How was your week of workouts?

I always loved studying at Starbucks! 🙂
Sometimes you just need a change of scenery. (and maybe a cup of coffee) 😉
Oh man… that injury doesn’t sound like fun. I hope you are 100% now. I have been doing bad with my yoga and stretching. I’m taking tomorrow as a yoga day!
How was yoga day? 🙂 And yes, I’m feeling MUCH better – probably 85-90%.
Mmm big starbucks cup. Fell better that, when we are only on wednesday, you’re on friday. As always, I enjoyed checking out your workouts 🙂
You better believe it’s a big Starbucks. A girl’s gotta stay awake while studying.. 😉
Such a pretty fall foliage shot! Yep, I’m thrilled it’s Friday….and will be pretty bummed on Sunday
Awww, I work on Sunday so I’ll be kind of bummed too. 😉
Yay for no injuries. Nice job on the run!
Thank you ma’am!
