I Crashed The Web

Well, 2023 didn’t quite start as planned. For all of you that started off the new year with new goals and are still going strong – congratulations! Our new year started off positive – but in a different way. It started off with sickness and then positive COVID tests for our household. This is our first time catching COVID (yes, we made it three years into the pandemic somehow), and luckily it has been mild for us all. 

That said, it still has thrown off our schedule, workouts, and everything else this week. With all the kids home thanks to our quarantine, plus trying to work full time, I knew I had to get in some workouts this week just for my sanity. 

Sunday: 3.83 miles — I stayed up until after midnight to ring in the new year and was TIRED. But glad to use one of my last days off to get in a few miles. run.

Monday: 3.47 miles — I wasn’t feeling great, but hadn’t taken the COVID test out and went for a run, not knowing why I wasn’t feeling well. I got in some festive miles to celebrate the new year — see what I did? My run spelled 2023 🙂 

Tuesday: 3.5 treadmill miles and ab workout  –  It was back to the grind! Luckily, with FW off school thanks to COVID, I got to sleep in until 6!! It was pouring rain out so I opted for a few miles on the treadmill before getting ready to work from home with the kids.

Wednesday – 3.51 miles and ab workout – It was WARM out and I got in a few miles with capris on, again getting to sleep late.

Thursday – 5.33 total miles combined and ab workout – I got in a run by myself, and then FW asked to go for a run with me! We did about 1.6 together walking/running and I was so happy he had asked to run. Feeling lucky that he’s had a mild case of COVID and wanted to get out of the house. 

Friday:  2.54 miles  I wanted to rest after running most days this week, but the kids were up early with a nightmares, having to go to the bathroom, etc. so I decided to just get outside and run a few miles before starting my day anyway. It always feels weird when I run less than 3 miles, but I did it anyway. 

Saturday:  1 indoor mile and then 2 mile walk.  It was cold and snowy, and I woke up still feeling icky and with a headache, and wasn’t in the mood to go outside in the snow and run with y head or the weather. Luckily, I was able to drag the family for a snowy walk and we were able to enjoy a few miles outside.  

Total mileage:  23.18 mi

Questions for you:

• What’s the minimum mileage you can run that feels good? For me it’s 3-5 miles. 
• Have you had covid yet?
