Low Low Mileage

Last week was the worst running week I’ve had in my short (8 months) running career. Instead of “worst”, I should say “lowest mileage by a bunch” running week because I definitely had some awful, horrible weeks when I was at the end of my weight loss and forcing myself to run 4 miles per day 7X a week… I didn’t like running at that point.

Last week I ran just shy of 4 miles… total! I ran more miles in my morning run Monday (6.7 miles) than I did in total last week. And I ran 3X last week… try not to laugh. Between the heat (I usually run after work at about 5:30pm) and moving my runs to the treadmill (we’re not really friends anymore) – it was a bad running week. I also got sick the day of my planned long run with a friend. Then the movie Twister replayed itself on our town Friday night (okay not quite, but seriously bad storm), so that cancelled my Saturday morning run. #Excuses. #Excuses.

But the good news is (unless my scale is broken) I did not suddenly gain 10lbs from a poor week of running. Even with some unhealthy eating (4th of July picnic)… I couldn’t refuse those lemon bars! 

I also ate some of this awesome cake...

Oops, I ate this yummy cookie too!
