As always the weekend feels much too short--even though we got the extra hour last night. Oh well. Another week awaits. Good news! I was elected to the Alumni Board of my sorority today. So I'll be serving a two-year term as Secretary. I'm really looking forward to getting back involved in Phi Rho after the last few years relatively removed. That means a trip to San Diego on the 17th for our Founder's Day Weekend. It'll be nice to be back.
Today I was supposed to run a baseline 5k for time, but I definitely failed at that. It's on the to-do list for tomorrow morning. I just wasn't feeling it today, and that's okay. No need to push the body too hard before the week begins. I did, however, do day 26 of the 30-day challenge. I really upped the weights on the chest and back burnout, and I'll definitely be feeling it tomorrow.
Day 27 and day 28 were active rest days, which were accounted for on Thursday and Friday last week, so I'll be powering through day 29 tomorrow evening. I'm really excited to be done with the challenge and to get going on NROL on Wednesday.
Tomorrow will be a double workout day with the 5k in the morning and day 29 in the evening. I also plan to start tracking my food on MFP again tomorrow. I'm pretty terrible at hitting my TDEE especially when I'm lifting heavy, so I need to make sure that I'm nourishing my body properly while I'm training for the 5k and starting NROL.
Depending on how the 5k goes, I'm thinking about making it an every-other-month event. There are several ladies on the fitness forum I follow that are hardcore runners (one even ran the NY marathon today--congrats Giaspo!), so I'm encouraged by their amazing times and accomplishments. That means six a year, which doesn't seem like it'll be too hard on the budget. I'd like to make FI do it with me assuming his schedule allows. We shall see.
I'll check in tomorrow with the results of the 5k time. Wish me luck!
