This week didn't go as planned in any way whatsoever and THAT'S OKAY! It was my first week of my new teaching job, I was super busy with life stuff, and the heat was unbearable. I altered my schedule a ton and just did what I could to make it through the week. I'm disappointed that a long run never happened but I'm seeing this as a good rest week for myself. I just have to remember that I'm at a busy point in my life (more information on that later ;) ) and I have done marathon training before so I'VE GOT THIS! Next week might not be any better but hey, we'll see!
It stinks when the schedule doesn't go as planned. It happened to me a bit this morning and I just told myself missing a few miles won't make me fail at the marathon.
ReplyDeleteMoving furniture definitely counts as a workout!
