Thanks to the time change, a few days off from work, and a busy wedding weekend, I am all thrown off about what day it is. I’m just popping in to share my workouts from last week as well as a treadmill tempo run that I followed on Monday.
Monday: 5 mile tempo run
We had some crazy winds on Sunday night so I decided to go to the gym on Monday morning. This was my first real treadmill run in a while, so I made up a workout to help pass the time. It helped me adjust to running on the treadmill again at various paces.
Tuesday: Strength training
I don’t remember much about this workout. It was my last week of phase 3 of my training plan!
Wednesday: 3.1 miles easy
Back outside again, which felt good. I kept the pace really easy and stayed close to home on a pretty flat route.
Thursday: Strength training and 30 minute spin bike
I knew my week would be thrown off, so I decided to get in a little cross training with my strength training.
Friday: 12 miles
I was off from work in preparation for my sister’s wedding on Saturday so I did my long run on Friday. I was out the door before 6 am and I felt like most of this was in the dark. It was hilly and definitely hard at times, but felt good to get it done.
Saturday: 30 minute elliptical
We had to be ready for hair and make up by 7am so I just did a quick 30 minutes on the elliptical in the hotel gym. We don’t have too many pictures from the wedding yet but here is one of me and Rob. (I didn’t have my phone with my for most of the day and this was the only picture I took!)
Here’s one of the bride and groom stolen from Facebook!
Sunday: Rest
We were pretty tired from all the wedding festivities so just kind of relaxed all day. Rob’s parents stayed with us an extra day so we both took off from work on Monday too. I didn’t even watch the NYC marathon but was so excited to see all the updates about Shalane! She is so inspiring.
I’m glad to have the day off to prepare for the week ahead! I started to feel like I was getting a cold this weekend so fingers crossed I can fight it off.

How were your workouts last week?
How do you feel about running on a treadmill?
Anyone else have weddings this month? (This weekend seemed like a popular one!)
Did you watch the NYC marathon?
I love your dress! I don’t have any that are one shoulder like that. It was crazy windy here on Monday as well. I hope you fight off your cold. I got sick once so far this school year… knock on wood. It lingered, though! Treadmill running is usually my last choice! I try to plan it so I lift on the two days of the week that have the worst weather, but obviously I don’t always plan perfectly!
I havent been sick in awhile so I am hoping I can fight this off! Its no worse today so maybe it will just go away. I also try to move around my runs so avoid running when the weather is bad. In the winter its hard because there could be so many bad days in one week!
You look beautiful!!! Nice that you were able to get a workout in before the big day. I find that always helps me get my head in the game.
Thank you! Yes, the run definitely helped me to prepare for the weekend!
You look stunning! Glad to hear the wedding went off well. Looks like it was a pretty day. Sooo dreary and rainy here all weekend but today we’re sunny and freezing. I actually enjoy the mill for speedwork. The workouts just fly by.
The weather was actually great for the wedding! (A little cold to be outside in dresses, but still warm for November!) Any kind of intervals definitely help the time pass while on the treadmill.
SO gorgeous at the wedding! I love seeing my friends all dresse up!
Thank you! It doesn’t happen very often so its nice that the occasion was documented:)
What a great week of workouts for you! I love the dress that you wore to the wedding! 🙂
Thanks! It was a good week.
Great work this week- and such a pretty dress!
I caught the second half of the women’s race and Shalane was incredible! My 7 year old loved watching too, which was fun to share that with her.
I loved watching the video of her crossing the finish line! So awesome!
I was on my treadmill Saturday because of wind too. I waited for the sun to rise and give me some warmth, but then the wind came with it :-/ At least I could keep testing out my treadmill.
Its awesome that you got a treadmill! I would definitely be taking advantage of that too, especially on windy days!
I love your dress! Family weddings are so fun, enjoy the extra time with Rob’s parents!
Thank you! It was a great weekend.
I love your dress! It’s beautiful.
Thanks so much!
I love that dress! I struggle with the treadmill now – I have to do something like hills on it to pass time, otherwise I can’t make it for very long!
Thanks! And yes, anything with intervals helps to pass the time, otherwise I get so bored!
Well, you probably know ‘Milly and I aren’t exactly close friends. I am debating on whether I’ll run with her later or take it outside (in the crazy cold & windy weather). #runnerprobs LOL Totally glamorous pic in all your wedding attire 😉
The treadmill isn’t ideal, but it’s a good option to have! Especially when the weather is not cooperative.
Oh, what a beautiful dress you wore to the wedding. Very pretty!
I run 2x per week on the treadmill and so many people ask me how I do it. Honestly, I don’t mind the treadmill too much if I can watch TV or listen to music while doing it. I also love it for interval or hill training (it’s pretty flat around here).
P.S. Excuse the comment galore, I am – as always – behind on my Feedly.
Thank you! And I guess the treadmill isn’t too bad. It takes me awhile to get used to using it again when its been awhile. Its really hilly where I live so like using the treadmill when I want to avoid hills:)
So pretty! You know I can’t wait to see the rest of the wedding pictures lol – I hope your sister had the most wonderful wedding day!
I cant wait to see them too! The photographer sent a few sneak peak pics but Im sure it be awhile before we get the rest back.
Great pic of you two! I have a hard time staying motivated running on the treadmill so I always vary the speed and incline to pass the time.
I do the same thing! Otherwise I get really bored, even if Im watching tv or listening to music.
It looks like you had a great week of workouts & a great weekend to top it all off! BTW you look stunning in the dress for the wedding!
Thank you! It was definitely a good week and a fun wedding.
I always play with the pace and incline when I run on the treadmill! It makes the time go by so much faster.
I definitely agree! I get so bored running at the same pace throughout the entire run.
Nice job on the long 12 mile run! You and Rob look amazing! I hope you were able to keep that cold at bay. Thanks for linking.
Thank you! So far the cold hasn’t gotten any worse, which is a good sign.
