This was recovery week 2, post marathon. I’ve been taking it easy and am starting to get lazy lol. Sleep is good. I’m not following a schedule since I haven’t signed up for any races for the rest of the year. I plan to pick it up this week. But here’s what I did last week:
Monday – I did PiYo Core. It’s been a while since I’ve done that one and I had a great core workout.
I also had fun jumping with the kiddos for #JumpJoyMonday for the #SweatPink #FitFamily #BOSUChallenge.
Tuesday – Rest Day, slept in. I didn’t feel like getting up early before work.
Wednesday – Ran 3 morning miles before work.
Also, did airplanes with my little guy as well as got in our best bird dog for the #BOSUChallenge. 
Thursday – Rest Day. It was #FitFamily plank day for the #BOSUChallenge. This is how we planked it out.
Friday – Ran 5 miles while the kiddo was in preschool. 
It was also #ForearmFriday!
Saturday – Ran 5 easy treadmill miles. 
Sunday – Rest Day.
It was an okay week. It was fun doing the #FitFamily #BOSUchallenge. The kiddos did great! 🙂 How’d your week go? Hope you have a fantastic week!

This was recovery week after the marathon. If you missed my recap of my first marathon, you can read it HERE. Boy was I stiff on Monday! My legs were definitely feeling it at the joints and I was walking funny. I’m glad it only lasted a day. I probably should have followed some sort of recovery plan but here’s what I did last week:
Monday – Just walked/waddled and took it easy.
I did get a #JumpJoyMonday in for the #SweatPink BOSU challenge lol. 
Tuesday – I did a few minutes of cycling.
Then did some tricep dips for #TricepTuesday. 
Wednesday – I did some planking for the #SweatPink BOSU challenge. I was side planking and my little guy had something else in mind. He’s like do this and I was like, ok lol.
In the evening I did some easy cycling. 
Thursday – I decided to do some yoga and did P90X3’s Yoga.
Friday – First run after the marathon, 3 treadmill miles. 
Saturday – Rest Day
Sunday – Rest Day
It’s been an easy recovery week. I don’t have any races scheduled for the rest of the year but am thinking of signing up for a holiday run or something. It’s a bit weird not having a schedule to follow, which I was so accustomed to with marathon training. But I just found a marathon recovery plan from Hal Higdon that I might use as a guide:
| WEEK | MON | TUE | WED | THU | FRI | SAT | SUN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cross 30 min | 3 m run | 3 x mile (mar pace) | 3 m run | Rest | 30 min tempo | 45-75 min run |
| 2 | Cross 30-40 min | 4 m run | 3 x mile (10-K pace) | 4 m run | Rest | 35 min tempo | 60-90 min run |
| 3 | Cross 30-50 min | 5 m run | 3 x mile (5-K pace) | 5 m run | Rest | 40 min tempo | 90 min run |
| 4 | Cross 30-60 min | 5 m run | 30 min tempo | 3 m run | Rest | Rest | Race |
How’d your week go? Here’s to a great week ahead!
