Monday:
- 1.5 miles
Ugh, by Monday I was starting to feel really tired. I was still kind of in denial about why though, so I did 1.5 miles to keep the streak alive.
Tuesday:
- 1 mile
On Tuesday I made the very poor decision of putting spinach in my smoothie. That was a really bad idea and I explain all of that here. 😉 I spent most of Tuesday morning stuck on the couch with stomach cramps and the only relife I could get was from a REALLY hot heat pack. I’ve still got a few red marks on my stomach haha. But I still got in a mile!
Wednesday:
- 2 miles
- 30 Day Shred Day 5
- 10 minutes of yoga
- 40 minutes on the stationary bike
By Wednesday I was getting really frustrated. I couldn’t run as far as I wanted. As I knew I could! I was tired, I sore, and upset. It seemed like nothing was helping my tired legs and I was beginning to think that my streaking days might be over.
Thursday: The Day My Streak Died
- Rest Day
On Thursday I woke up and I knew it was over. I had gotten a full 8 hours of sleep but I woke up exhausted. I was sore in places that I didn’t think I should be sore in and I could barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone trying to run. So I knew I had to quite. My streak had ended at 21 days and I wasn’t even upset. I was relieved.
Friday:
- Rest Day
Holy cow! What a difference one day of doing nothing made! I woke up feeling so much better! I was less tired and sore and felt a lot better all around. Ending my streak was definitely the right move. I’m thinking a little break from running is in order, and another rest day was as well. 🙂
Saturday:
- Rest Day
Literally did nothing exciting on Saturday haha.
Sunday:
- Rest day
Basically a repeat of Saturday haha. I’ve been very much enjoying my little break from running and pretty much everything else. I also don’t feel so tired and gross anymore, so that’s a huge plus!!
