Weekend Workouts - Aug. 22

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend? I know at least one person raced.

BQ: What is one thing you do to accept yourself as you are now-mind, body, or spirit?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Off
Saturday: 35+ mile gravel ride.
Sunday: Cat. 3 criterium (road race), 30 minutes of hard effort for the race + warm up

BQ: My body is what it is for now. I've lost and gained the same 2 pounds the last few months. My body is different post-heart surgery. I have accepted it for what it is now, and it is getting stronger and fitter--although I'll never be where I was pre-surgery. I think I'll work on accepting that for a while.

Very low key over here. I ran 3 mi on Friday and 3 mi yesterday with my older daughter, and did nothing on Saturday. But I’ve already swum 100 laps this morning, so, back on the horse! 😊

BQ: I’m a little slower and fluffier right now than I’d like, but I’m giving myself some latitude. I am just kind of accepting aging and being grateful for it. My mom was already sick and had nearly had her big surgery when she was as old as I am now and that perspective helps.

Fri: 20 min run + strength
Sat: 60 min Peloton cycle
Sun: 20 mile outdoor bike

BQ: This is a tough one, and one I struggle with. I try to focus on the things my body can do, and celebrating earning little goals I set for myself each week.

Friday: Nothing
Saturday: Nothing
Sunday: Barbell Medicine Powerlifting, Week 2 Day 1 and accessory lifts from GPP Day 1

BQ: I recognize that I cannot do it all. Where my peers may admire my consistency with working out, they probably have cleaner homes. We all have to decide our highest priorities and let other things go.

Fri: 5 mile walk
Sat: 7.3 mile interval run
Sun: 3.2 mile run

BQ: I've had a lot going on this summer, so I'm taking solace in the fact that I managed to keep running/working out AND not get hurt. Do i wish I had higher mileage months? Sure, but I've noticed that I'm a little faster than I was last summer, and that's so amazing to me! So I just keep reminding myself that anything is better than nothing.

I was away for the weekend so I did nothing H&F related!

I just got home from 4.5 mile run.

I have yet to accept anything about myself right now. I am struggling big time.

Fri: 8.5 mi hike
Sat: house cleaning
Sun: 5k walk

BQ: struggling here too...

Hello everyone! No long time no see

Fri: Run 4 mi
Sat: Rest
Sun: Run 18 mi, this was supposed to be an Olympic triathlon, but I somehow got my dates mixed up and it was actually on Sat and the sprint was on Sun. Whoops. I was seriously underprepared for this. I'm annoyed but not heartbroken. Onward to marathon training. I got to run with a friend I hadn't seen in too long so it was great to catch up.

BQ: I'm way slower than I used to be. I can't really say it's weight related, since I'm a similar weight. But it's more a lack of inspiration to run fast plus running with my dog. There is too much stress in my life already with pandemic stuff and having school aged kids that being as fast as I once was is not something I want to add to my already stressed self.
The summer heat isn't helping either!
