Sunday | November 6, 2016: rest (just kidding – yard work!)
Notes:
- My legs felt dead A LOT of the week so I cut Thursday and Friday’s run short. I was surprised I felt so good for my speedwork on Saturday, after the two previous days! I woke up too late Sunday to do a long run before doing yard chores so I skipped the run – my legs obviously need the rest.
- We had a lot of fun at Fitness Boxing Saturday and I added a few classes to the calendar for December. I don’t feel like next month is December. And it doesn’t feel like November, now! I hope we get some colder weather soon.
- October recap! I ran 176 miles, cycled 42 miles (5 indoor rides) and swam laps 6 times (7,938 total yards). My coldest outdoor run was 40°F and my warmest was 81°F. I taught 9 strength classes, and did zero (again!) strength sessions at home. I taught 2 fitness boxing classes.

Did you follow your great swim with some hot tub time?
I really should have taken more classes last week 😉
I did! I used the jets on my tender spots 🙂
You should have! I didn’t see you very much last week!
It def does not feel like Nov. Its only now starting to cool down at night…crazy.
So nuts! The good thing is, the outdoor kitties are staying warm (also, we bought them heated houses!).
I love that Monday photo with the class in costumes 🙂
