Weekend Workouts - March 20

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: Do you like DST?

Friday- I worked all day
Saturday- Walked around the mall if that counts
Sunday- run!

DST- I don't really care

Friday- 4 mile run in 70 degrees. Felt like crap. Knees and IT band are dead.

Saturday--5 mile walk in 30 degrees when the rain let up to a mist. New England weather, man.

Today- my long run was a half marathon at a slower pace than race pace. Knees are so not happy. Its my kneecaps, not the sides, so I'm not sure its totally IT band related. I have to get to a PT before I injure myself more and can't run the marathon.

I can never keep DST and Standard time straight. I don't like darkness at 4pm but I understand kids walking in the dark to school is problematic. But maybe there is a solution to that ( kids in Iceland probably walk in the dark?) because the winter blues are real and they suck.

Fri: 45 minutes on the Peloton bike
Sat: 6 mile run, upper body and core strength
Sun: 10 mile run, lower body strength

BQ: Not really. I’m a morning person, so I’d rather have it be light in the morning.

Fri - biked 4.5 mi, ran a virtual 10k
Sat - ran 3 mi, walked under 2 mi with one of my girls
Sun - an hour on the bike at the gym

I like it light longer later in the day but it all seems kind of arbitrary to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fri: rest
Sat: 8 mile run with sprints thrown in. I felt terrible and wanted to die but I made it and shockingly I hit my paces.
Sun: 4 mile easy run

BQ: well, today I liked it bc it meant my hour long drive at 6:30 pm wasn’t completely dark. I like waking up to the Sun, but in the summer, I literally wake up with the sun, so it’s nice right now that it’s a little easier for me to sleep in. Clearly I just need better blinds 😂

Friday: Off
Saturday: 26 mile gravel ride w/my club
Sunday: 45 mile road ride w/my club


BQ: Yes! With every fiber of my being I love having more sun in the evening all year! I hope the House passed the DST bill!

[breezy8407]

Fri: 20 min run + 30 min HIIT cardio
Sat: 60 min Peloton cycle
Sun: 30 min Peloton cycle

BQ: Yes. I prefer to have daylight at the end of the day. I would be happy to just stop changing the clocks though.

Friday: 45 minute spin class. First time back at the gym since the pandemic! JFC, group fitness is a much harder workout than running on my own. LOL.

I like the way DST works now. If we didn't fall back in October, the kids would be walking to school in the pitch black. And the sun would still set before 5pm. The main thing is it's just really hard in Seattle for about 6-12 weeks near the solstice.
