Weekend Workouts - Apri. 12

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

Bonus question: Do you get the season known as "The Pollening" where you live?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Off
Saturday: Food poisoning. All the naps.
Sunday: 40 miles easy with some Turbo on the ebike on the hills. Naps.

Yep, I think it originated in Georgia. We get swarms almost of pine pollen for about two weeks. Pollen never really goes away in the south.

@sadlebred oh no! Food poisoning is the worst! Hope you're feeling better now.

Friday-weights with a HIIT finisher

Saturday-rest day. Lots of good food, coffee, and naps.

Sunday-20 mile skate with a friend.

QOTW-no, but both mine and DHs allergies go nuts this time of year. I dont even know what we're allergic to, but the runny nose and burning eyes are just misery.

Friday: 3 mile run
Saturday: 4 mile walk (pushing 70lbs of kids)
Sunday: 5.5 mile run

And yes, we do, but it’s thankfully short lived.

Fri: glorious rest day
Sat: 6 miles of intervals
Sun: 3.5 mile run

Yes, we have the pollen season here. We are currently in a lull, so this weekends runs were amazing. I’m sure the next round of trees, flowers, and bushes will be blooming this week, so it’ll be back to runs where I gasp for breath and want to die 5 steps in.

sadlebred, yikes! I hope you are feeling better!

[sadlebred]

Thanks lilypad1126 and @peep! I managed to eat some tomato soup and a grilled cheese just a while ago. Small victories. I can also eat English muffins or toast with jelly. and apple juice.

Fri: 5 easy
Sat: 15
Sun: so much rest (and a 4-mile walk with a friend)

QOTW: not nearly as bad as it used to be in TX. I did notice the small pond by our house has a layer of pollen on it though, so it’s no wonder my allergies were acting up last week!

sadlebred, glad it sounds like you’re feeling better! Food poisoning is the worst. 😬

Also not really related to the WW but I didn’t want to start a new thread...

I’m signed up for Grandma’s Marathon (6/19) and still a little worried it won’t be held again this year. Due to that, I also signed up for Twin Cities Marathon this week, which is run the first weekend in Oct. If both end up happening, I’ll only have about 3 weeks off between now and early October. What was I thinking???

[minzy]

Fri - ran 3 mi
Sat - ran 8 mi during DD1’s practice
Sun - walked about a mile, yoga 30 mins

The pollen isn’t too bad here, and/or I just don’t notice it because I don’t have allergies. That’s one potential benefit, anyway, to growing up on a farm!

[doctoranda]

Fri - off
Sat - 4 mile hike
Sun - 3 mile walk

I have not been exercising enough the last few weeks. I look forward to the semester being over and actually really getting out there.


sadlebred, Hope you'll feel better soon.

I'm eyeing Twin Cities as well! 

[breezy8407]

Fri: 20 min run + strength
Sat: 45 min Peloton cycle
Sun: 60 min Peloton cycle and core workout with DD

Pollen can get bad here, but I am very fortunate that I have no known allergies.

[breezy8407]

sadlebred, hope you are feeling better. That's awful!

Fri: 30 min Peloton + abs

Sun: 30 min yoga

There’s definitely pollen and a green layer, but I don’t get super bad allergies so it’s not bad. My H on the other hand is a disaster in spring and fall....

[sadlebred]

I'm feeling a little bit better. I managed a sourdough English muffin with cheese for lunch. Dinner of recovery stomachs will be Honey Nut Cheerios since that it what sounds appealing.
