Week in Workouts
The last few weeks I've decided to play it a little smarter in terms of listening to my bod and not just running or working out because my ego tells me I should. So, I made a rule that I can't run two days in a row unless a really perfect opportunity comes up (running with a friend or in a cool location) or I'm feeling awesome.
So without further ado, last week's workouts:
Monday - 30 min barre strength {as part of winter shape up}
Tuesday - 2.6 a.m. miles in the pouring rain - there's something about an early morning run that just makes the day a million times better, no matter the weather!
Wednesday - 20 min HIIT workout + 15 min upper body strength - so hard after HIIT!
Thursday - lower body leg burner, 2 rounds + 4 mile lunch run
Friday - power yogaglo flow {w/ focus on core + upper back opening}
Saturday - power yoga + 30 min walk with the dog
Sunday - 5 mile run {with only a few stops to walk}
+ A few weeks ago, I thought I was totally losing my push up strength to the pregnancy, but I'm happy to say I pushed through and feel like I'm back! No, I can't do the 10-15 in a row straight push ups from my toes that I used to do, but I can still do ~5 before modifying.
+ Sunday's run felt kind of magical because I ran 20 min with friends at run group before I opted to walk. These days, that is a rarity, so it felt great to just keep going rather than having to stop every few minutes to walk. Thank you, pelvis, for not being cranky with me.
What was your best (or favorite) workout in the last week or so?

Your belly has definitely popped lately! I've glad you've been feeling good and have found the right mix of workouts that work for you!
Your belly really has grown! It's so cute!
My favourite workout last week was probably my 20km run in the sunshine on Sunday! I was majorly dreading the run but 20km flew by and the weather was so beautiful, I loved it!
