Losing it, a Favorite Run and a Killer Deal

Sunday  5 mile run
              50 minutes of yoga
             2.6 mile bike ride with the kids

Monday 10 mile long run
               20 minute HIIT with rowing machine   
               4 mile bike ride with the kids
Tuesday  Rest day, we had a work meeting after work, got to love those!

Wednesday  5.5 mile run with 6x400 intervals
                     30 minutes yoga

Thursday   Rest

Friday  6 mile trail run
             40 minutes of yoga
            Knocked out the rest of the day with a migraine

Saturday   20 minute HIIT
             
Felt a little lacking in motivation this week. 

Runs 26 miles in 4 runs.  The most miles in a week in a long time.  This is why I didn't run    Saturday. I could have cross trained I guess but I just wasn't in the mood!
Strength 2.  goal is 3.  I am going to blame this on the migraine and a general lack of motivation this week.
Yoga 3 right on target
Crosstraining... not so good just the biking miles with the kids. 

Not sure where my motivation went this week I just seemed to have lost it.  I am hoping it comes back soon!

Although these pictures from my trail run on Friday are pretty motivating. The first part was all uphill but the views were incredible.
 I lost my trail, which was a little two track road, several times.  Can you see it?

 I did pause several times just to take in the views and enjoy all the wildflowers that were blooming.

 and we even ran into a bull snake. We also saw a green racer, but he was gone before I could take a picture of him.

Swirlgear is closing out their long sleeve shirts to make room for the new line that will be here any day now.

I have the yellow shirt and the long sleeve white/camo shirt and they are two of my favorite shirts and not see through as the pictures would suggest.  I get compliments on them every time I wear them out in public.

I am considering getting one of the running hoodies, but I better make up my mind, word is they are selling out fast and there are no larges left.  Thankfully I wear a small.

It is hard to think about long sleeves right now, but nice to score a great deal!
