So, as mentioned in last night’s post, these days I’m training for life.
My goal is to stay healthy and active, enjoying all the different workouts that I pushed to the wayside during marathon training. Considering that I’m traveling the next four weeks straight, not having the added pressure of races is a welcome change.
My goal for the next few weeks is as follows:
- Yoga 1x per week
- Swimming 1x per week
- 1 6-10 mile run
- 1 speed workout/weights
- 1 group workout class
I don’t define the specific group workout class because while I’m traveling taking BodyPump or BodyAttack may not be possible. However, enjoying some of my favorite London and New York City fitness studios is more than definitely possible. There is no doubt I’ll enjoy at least one Barry’s Bootcamp class in London AND New York City and at least one Uplift Studios class while in NYC.
On the running front, I’m looking forward to enjoying a few months worth of races for fun before going back into training mode. Charlie and I are currently searching for a flat and fast Spring half marathon but until then I’ve signed up for a few local races.
Foulees Automnales de Meyrin – November 29th – 10km race around a few local Geneva parks
Course de l’Escalade – December 6th – 4 kilometer race through Old Town Geneva
Atlanta Christmas 5k Run/Walk – December 20th – 5 kilometer race through Virginia Highlands
London Winter Run – February 1st – 10 kilometer race through London (Want to join myself and other lovely London Team Naturally Run ladies? You can save on registration by using the below discount code! It’ll be a super fun event and help keep us all motivated during the dark, cold Winter months! Just click here to sign up! )
Lots of fun races over the next few months, none of which is longer than 10 kilometers! I’m hoping to PR at least one of them along the way while I enjoy running each of them with either Bo or friends. I get to run the November race with Meghann who will be in Geneva visiting with Derek for Thanksgiving while running through Atlanta will be a blast for me and Bo when we’re back in Georgia for the holidays!
What do you have coming up on your race calendar? Care to join for any of these fun races?
I find it really hard to get motivated when i dont have any events planned. that is what i need to do. I have ideas but nothing booked it. i need to get onto that.
I wish i could join you on the London Run but it is a bit too far away for me.
Such a great balanced sched – I love it! I signed up for a couple of 10Ks and a couple of 1/2s this fall/winter… and entered the lottery for the NYC Half. I love to run 3x a week, do yoga once, and full body weights twice… taking a full rest day once a week! Can’t wait for NYC in a couple weeks!
NYC will be super fun and very workout filled! Here’s to hoping I get in NYC via lottery!
Have you thought about running the Cambridge half in March? It’s supposed to be a flat and very scenic course! I’m running it for the first time next year since I used to live there and always looked for a good reason to return for a long weekend 🙂
It’s one of the ones I’m considering for the Spring. Thanks for the suggestion!
That’s awesome! I heard that it sells out fast though…
