What a busy week! Getting ready for Christmas and traveling for two weeks made for lots of stuff that needed to get done!
Monday was my rest day. I should have taken advantage of the morning and ran knowing that I’d be busy later, but oh well! I still did my push ups getting Week 5 Day 1 done. I did the first column resulting in 81 total push ups. I also did my core workout.
Tuesday I did a 4 mile run on the way home from work. This was along the greenway. It was 2 above! I forgot to record the wind chill but it was windy too. We also got a fresh layer of snow that was falling during my run!
Wednesday I did the downtown 3.25 mile loop and enjoyed watching the sunrise hit the downtown buildings despite the -6 wind chill. I did a total of 100 push ups on Week 5 Day 2. I also did my core workout.
Thursday I’m not even sure why I didn’t run. I think I had an early meeting and actually missed breakfast.
Friday I ran 3 miles around Lake Harriet. I dropped my wife off at work and ran the very snow covered trail. It was 18 and windy so I didn’t force myself to do anything more than one 3 mile loop around the lake! I did my 120 pushups but forgot the core workout!
Saturday was a long day of travel. We drove through inches of falling snow, freezing rain, and finally just rain before arriving in Indianapolis for the first leg of our “vacation.”
Sunday I almost didn’t run because it sounded like it was freezing rain outside, but in reality it was just the house making weird noises and the sun was shining despite the -12 wind chill. I thought we had left those kind of temps behind so I was a little underdressed while running to Fort Harrison State Park but once I turned out of the wind it wasn’t bad. I ran just over 6 miles, most in the park on nice trails. It was quiet and pretty empty which made for nice running. I had to hop a fence to get in and shortly after hopping back out I passed a police officer driving by. There were big NO TRESPASSING signs, despite it being a state park. With no snow on the ground it was a nice run.
