Weekly Workout 09/03/2018

Whats up exercise junkies...

This is going to be an interesting week for me to say the least..

Monday-Planned rest day..

Tuesday-Ran 8 miles

Wednesday-Swimming 1000-1200 meters

Thursday-Normally cycle but going to run 8 miles

Friday-Monday-this is where my week gets wonky. My wife and I are traveling to Gatlinburg, TN for our 20 year anniversary. I know we are on a mountain so not really sure what I can do for running. We are driving Friday and arriving at 3 pm. Then leaving Monday morning around 9 am so those days are probably shot. Maybe run Saturday or Sunday morning. We will see..

Last week was basically a wash due to travel and general weirdness. And, in bad news, I found out that my Friday Pilates class won't be starting up this week as scheduled (it's a credit class, so only runs during the Fall and Spring terms). But, in good news, I was looking at other Pilates options and asked my instructor if she thought the intermediate Pilates class she teaches on Mondays would be appropriate for me and she said yes! So that's sort of super exciting. It means I've leveled up my Pilates skill :D

Because of last week's wonkiness, though, here's this week's schedule. Today's run was supposed to happen last Thursday so I'm glad I was able to get it in before starting to taper for my half marathon!

M - nothing
Tu - running (11mi), yoga stretching
W - pilates class, yoga class
Th - running (5mi), yoga stretching
F - zenga class
Sa - running (3.1mi - parkrun race), stretching

edit for updates

Edited to fix date and update

So, I have a foot/ankle sprain (fairly mild) after an Olympic snatch gone wrong and a 15 kilo bar smashing my left foot after I fell. Truly thankful nothing broke because the fencing season started 9/1 in earnest. Saw the doc and we put together a plan to rehab the ankle enough so I could fence on Saturday 9/8 at my first event for the season. So my workouts have been modified and when I'm not at the gym or at the fencing club, I'm in a boot and if I at the gym or club, I'm in a McDavid brace, but I can move!

Monday - ab and core at gym (fencing club close due to holiday)

Tuesday - modified Crossfit class -

Wednesday - lesson and open fencing 2.5 hours being very careful

Thursday - recovery

Friday - Pilates and modified Crossfit class that should have been Thursday but was moved so people could watch the Eagles home opener.

Saturday - FIRST FENCING EVENT OF THE SEASON !!!!!!!

Sunday - recovery and abs/core

Hope everyone has a great week.
