Couch to 5K Week 7 Wrap Up

Week 7 of the Couch to 5K is officially in the books but coming to you a week late. The previous week was chaotic between having to go to Orlando for work 3 days and also FLBlogCon, which just totally blew my schedule. I’m happy to report I’m back on track and finished out the week on a positive note. The weekly training which consisted of 5 minute warm ups, 25 minutes of running and then a 5 minute cool down is what week 7 had in store for me. I almost missed day 3 training due to helping a friend move and meeting another for dinner, I would have never made it. I had decided that I’d do my training later in the evening. Two pitchers of beer, chips and salsa, plus boneless honey BBQ wings over fries happened and I was wondering “how the hell am I going to run after all this”. The wife told me I was crazy for attempting this but I did squeeze in day 3 after all this and I must say I was actually surprised. Though I didn’t intend on running after our night out I’ve decided it needed to be done and I needed to hold myself accountable for my training. After all, I was the one who chose to indulge as I had so I needed to hold myself accountable for my training and carry on.

Have you ever had your schedule thrown off by work and how did you make it up? Would you ever attempt to run after a night of indulging?

    I can’t remember a time I’ve ran the same night after drinking, but there have been many runs the next morning after some drinking and over-indulging on food and those are some of my best runs. I think it’s just in my head that i need to run harder to work it off. And then maybe those extra carbs give me some oomph.

    Awesome job finishing up week 7 and that is one of the best post workout photos!!

      I’m not sure if it was determination to complete the week or sheer guilt that motivated me. Either way it worked and week 7 is done. I will tell you I was quite surprised as it wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been but I do think the nights festivities had a slight motivation factor on my decision to run. Thank you very much for the comments and I thought the pic was silly at first but I’m actually quite fond of it now. 🙂
