Fitness Friday posts may not always be the most popular posts on my blog, but I must admit I love them. I love looking back on my week of workouts and reflecting on how well I did, what I could have done better (coughyogacough), or whatever else comes to mind. I enjoy being able to look back on my training and see how far I’ve come, especially a week like this when after 12 weeks of working my tail off, increasing my mileage, and trying to stay strong, it all comes down to Sunday when I set out to finish my third half marathon.
This will be unlike any other half marathon I’ve run – they don’t allow walkers, I won’t have any spectators (at least not family and I’m not sure if there will be any friends/acquaintances on the course), I’m running outside the midwest (aka probably NOT a fast and flat course). But what it doesn’t change is that I’m setting out to FINISH and HAVE FUN, not setting out for a new PR!
So what did my final week of training look like?

How was YOUR fitness this week?
What are YOU working towards?
Oh man they don’t allow walkers?? Does that mean you have to finish in a certain amount of time or that you can’t walk at all?
Good luck friend!! You will do awesome!! <3
i love that you shared your crossfit workouts in a nice image! you’re awesome 🙂 and i love this -> coughyogacough
haha 🙂
you’re gonna do awesome this weekend babe 🙂 I WISH i could be there 😀
Wow! I have never heard of that race, but I really like the idea that you have to run. That truly makes it a running event for those who are really committed to running and have trained enough to be able to handle it. GOOD LUCK! Hope things go well, I often do not have anyone watch me, and it is sometimes nice, no pressure 🙂
I am still striving for my Great Britain jersey, hopefully sooner than later, but I guess Chicago marathon is my next big fitness goal….first I am taking a week off running 🙂
