Running Bunny Weekly Run-Down: Overtraining or Overreaching?

Breakfast was a quick one - a Fage 0% and Bare Naked plain granola.  Maybe it was too much protein but I finished only half of this - so filling!

It’s a sticky line between overtraining and overreaching because I have boundless energy and enthusiasm when things are going so well.

Last week, I ran 17.66 miles and this week I ran 23.2 miles, jumping from an 8 mile Saturday morning run to a 10 miler. This week, I’m running up to 25 miles, which isn’t as big of a bump.

I took four hot yoga classes which is now becoming my average number - with one two hour class. This week, I plan on making it to five hot yoga classes, and make them all intermediate.

I took TWO rest days, even making myself rest before my long run on Saturday!

I did an abs routine every day following my fitness streak.

It’s a puppy routine and I finally came up with a sustainable routine that allows me to build my strength. I’m really excited about this!

Last week was a great training week, with only one wrench - falling hard on my right knee.  The soreness and throbbing have gone away with ice picks but the scab, the evil, no-good scab, opens up every time I assume Warrior II.  

I’m hoping to find some skin salves downtown to speed healing…or just try voodoo.

It’s a beautiful day in Chicago - Hope it’s gorgeous in your part of the world today!
