November Numbers

After a disappointing marathon in October, I gave myself some time to get over it lick my wounds. A solid week of laziness downtime left me feeling pretty sluggish and blah toward the end of the month. It took about a week to start feeling like "me" again, and I was able to kick off November with a great attitude and a ton of energy. I knew it was time to Shake Things Up and spent the month overhauling my diet, learning to love crossing training again and returning to my beloved lunch running.

November Numbers:

Mileage: 264 KM / 164 mi

Lunch runs: 15

Cross-training: 15.5 hours

Spin Class: 8 x 1h

Bootcamp: 4 x 1h

Rest Days: 0 (days off running: 2)

Weight Loss: 9 lbs

Body Fat %: -2.3%

It's no wonder I can't keep up with the laundry! I'm really proud of how hard I've worked this month and what I have accomplished.

I've never gone so long without a complete rest day and I'm surprised at how strong I feel with all the activity. I've also never run so many consecutive days. It's not necessarily intentional, but I've been listening to my body and taking it a run/workout at a time. Not being on a training plan gives me a lot of flexibility to do whatever I feel like on any given day, and also allows to me include many shorter runs (3, 4, 5-milers) which I miss during marathon training. I think the variety has really allowed me to increase my overall fitness.



All I know is that I feel fantastic and I'm ready to tackle December and the holidays head on...

Happy Hump Day!

How was your month?
