Liz at Carpe Diem and Run started a new series about her workouts. I decided to link up with her- so here is my Monday Miles post! 
Thanks Liz!!
Last week’s workouts:
Monday: 48 Minutes (supposed to be part-tempo but we didn’t feel up to it), 10 minutes abs, yoga
Tuesday: 46 Minutes easy, weights, yoga
Wednesday: 10 minute warm up, 8x short hill, 15 minute cool-down, yoga
Thursday: 40 minutes easy: 3.56 miles, weights, yoga
Friday: Rest. I planned to run after school but the weight room was locked up and I didn’t feel so good after finals. See below. Yay listening to my body! Also, yoga.
Saturday: I joined a gym because it was too cold to run outside, and it was 10 bucks for a month (Thanks, Groupon!). 70 minutes on a treadmill alone. Embarrassingly slow pace: 6 miles. Watched 16 Candles. \
Later, yoga.
Sunday: Rest & Yoga
Total Mileage: ~20 miles (My garmin decided not to find satellites a few of the days)
Reflection: Yoga = amazing. But as far as runs, I’ve felt so slow! For the past week it seems like I’ve had the sniffles on and off, but on Friday after finals, it seemed pretty bad. I took a day off of running on Friday. On Saturday, I woke up and I felt kind of sick. Like, blowing my nose a lot and a bit of sinus pressure sick. I decided not to run outside this weekend because I felt sick and it was only 1 degree out there on Saturday.
I took a 24 hour allergy medication Saturday afternoon, and it seemed to help for like 5 hours. I’m sneezing a lot, so that’s what makes me think it’s allergies. The allergy medication doesn’t seem to help much though.
I NEED whatever this is to clear up by Tuesday!! Tomorrow I have my 2nd day of finals and it’s the first day of track practice! I’m so excited for the season, I just hope my body cooperates!
**I hope it doesn’t seem like all I do on my blog is complain. Lately I feel like all my posts are very attention-thirsty, like “oh feel bad for me”, but I don’t want it to be that way at all! 
This week’s workouts:
Monday: On my own, 35 minutes on a treadmill (easy, took a 5 minute walking break not counted in time), 10 minutes abs and yoga.
Tuesday-Saturday: Unknown. The coaches haven’t given us a schedule because as of tomorrow, track season has OFFICIALLY started!
Sunday: Rest & my last day of Yoga!! I’m so sad this challenge will be OVER!
What’s your workout plan? How do you deal with being sick and running?

What will you being running in track? One of my best friends is in track! 🙂
Distance! probably the mile or the two mile. it’s my first year on the team so I’m not sure yet (:
Way to go on listening to your body! ❤ it's such a hard thing to do sometimes. So proud! 🙂 When I feel sick, I pop some vitamin c pills, wash my hands like crazy, and rest up lots!
So much vitamin C!! After a good nights sleep last night I’m already starting to feel a little bit better.
If you’re looking for more yoga yogatic has a great youtube channel of free classes 🙂 So sorry to hear you aren’t feeling the greatest, hopefully whatever it is doesn’t linger and ruin what sounds like an exciting week.
I hope so too! Thanks for the suggestion!! I’ll check it out (:
I’m so jealous of all your running!! And I can’t believe track starts tomorrow for you, I still have a month left of basketball and track starts in March! I’m loving yoga too, I think when it’s done I’m just going to keep doing the videos! I’m so happy we did the challenge!
Wow, I can’t imagine doing a winter sport and then going straight to track. you are superwoman! (; I am too! I want to vary it up though and try real classes.
I’m so glad you are listening to you body! Thanks for linking up with me – you seriously just made my day ❤
I'm starting the challenge again tomorrow morning before school … so yeah. I am so great at commitment 😉
Girl you are too hard on yourself. We all do that- I swear I am queen at not finishing things. and that’s okay! we can’t do everything (: I’m SO happy I could make your day today!! (:
No workout planning for me! I just like to see how my body feels each day. I would have happily walked on the treadmill watching 16 candles though!
That’s awesome that you can do that (: After school if I was given the option I would probably choose going home and sleeping every day. that’s why having a team to hold me accountable works for me (: and that movie is timeless!! (:
Props for doing hills! I always think I am going to run hills but then I conveniently turn in the opposite direction. 😉
It helps that I have teammates to run with- helps a lot!! (; haha (:
Haha! I love 16 candles! 😉 I don’t usually run when I’m sick, but exercise of some sort (abs, etc) makes me feel better for some reason. I like the Blogilates videos because you can do them inside if it’s freezing outside 🙂
Me too!! They are my favorite (:
Good job girl!! Seems like you have a good plan going! I love yoga… but am not so keen on running… haha I wish I could love it!! HAHa, anyways I hope that you have a great rest of your week 🙂
That’s okay, we all have our thing. I am falling in love with yoga. I hope some day I can be flexible enough to do more of it! (: I hope your week is great as well Cailee (:
Sure hope you felt better during exams as taking a test sick sure stinks. Congrats on completing the yoga challenge, sounds pretty amazing. And 70 minutes on the treadmill is a truly impressive feat, pretty sure my short attention span would get the better of me before 20 minutes. 😛
Thank you! I did actually, I recovered from that mini-cold pretty quickly, I was so lucky. I don’t know how I did it either.. I guess I split it into mental chunks, like every half mile or quarter mile or whatever (:
