November 18th- Rest
November 19th- 3.3 mile treadmill run
It was tough to motivate myself to get to the gym after class. I was mentally exhausted and was coming up with a million reasons why I should skip the gym. Fortunately I did the opposite and pushed myself to go.
I’m glad I did! It felt good being able to sweat all my stress from the day away. As dead week and finals draw closer I need to remember this and use the gym for my benefit when it’s too dark to run outside.
November 20th- 20 min yoga sesh
My back and neck felt really tight when I got back from classes today, probably due to stress. Instead of going for another run, I decided to try to do a beginners yoga session.
I found a 20 min YouTube video to follow. It was great to get to stretch. It made me realize yoga is something I want to incorporate into my schedule next quarter by either taking a beginners yoga class on campus or attending one of the evening classes at the rec center.
I think this will be a great way to heal, stretch, and stay toned on top of running.
November 21st- Abs
November 22nd- 3.71 Fairhaven Run
I decided to run down to Boulevard Park and along the water front. It was fun to run this route backwards. Something I hope to do more of, even as the weather changes.
