I totally messed myself up with how I number my FitStreak posts because I started a week early. Oops! I’ll try to remember this next week and be a little less confusing 
I recall running into this same dilemma when I was posting Marathon Monday posts!
But regardless of how I number this post and all previous posts, this is the end of week 2 of the FitStreak started by Allison at Running Through Red Lights! I can’t believe it’s been two full weeks already! Even though last week really seemed to drag, it’s still crazy how fast this summer is going as a whole.
This past week was still very light on the running… Hopefully I am on the path to ending this streak! More on that tomorrow But I still managed to have a few good workouts throughout the week. Here is how I stayed busy in the Streaking department:
Monday: 30 day Shred Level 1
Tuesday: 5 miles walking
Wednesday: 30 min bike ride + 15 min upper body Jackie Warner DVD + 15 min lower body Jackie Warner DVD
Thursday: Ripped in 30 Week 1 + Pick Your Spot Pilates
Friday: 30 min walk + grocery shopping 
Saturday: 75 minutes biking + Level 2 of 30 day Shred
Sunday: 50 minutes biking + 2 mile walk/run! + 40 minute total body Jackie Warner Circuit
After a workout heavy weekend, I am SORE! My obliques and quads especially… I think a lighter streak day is in order for today!
Hard to believe this is the half way point! I know I can keep powering through to the end. It’s very eye opening to realize how easy it is to fit in 20+ minutes of exercise every day. Even if I’ve only intended 20 mins, I still almost always go 30 mins or more. I really have a hard time remembering what it was like before I worked out 5-7 days a week… it’s funny how that concept has become so foreign to me now! What is rest like? I’ve forgotten Maybe if I was better at resting, I would be better at not getting hurt Probably not…
Do you take complete rest days? Or just do something more relaxing like take a walk or yoga, etc.?
I usually have a days rest between runs and have the weekend off. Probably because I’m lazy!
That’s how I was for a long time too! But lately I have been slacking on the weekdays and making up for it come Saturday and Sunday
I remember when my only physical activity was skating on Monday nights… oh how that has changed

And you got a Fried Chicken Sandwich to refuel. Health Nut you were!
Looks like you had an awesome week of Streaking! Still totally jealous of your bike–it seems like such a fun way to get in an hour of exercise while enjoying time outside!
I’m right there with you in realizing that 20+ minutes of doing something every day isn’t as hard as I used to think it was. I used to take complete rest days, but as more of an excuse to not do anything. Now, my rest days have been stretching/yoga or going on a walk. I’ve enjoyed finding new activities and workouts, and feel like my running is actually benefitting from doing something on my would-be off days.
Good luck with your running this week! I saw you got new shoes–here’s to hoping that’s the key to getting back out there!
Yes, so far the only downside to the bike is the weather seems to play more of a role in whether I can take it out or not! I’m afraid of being in the rain or wind in it right now…
And yes, I have found so many new activities these two week, too! It’s been fun, that’s for sure!
I’m trying out the new shoes again today… fingers crossed!
5 miles of walking in one day! That’s a lot of walking! I agree that 20 minutes of exercise usually leads to more. During my running streak, I was only running 1 mile a day, but doing it every single day turned it into a habit. Doing a quickie like that is now automatic.*
It was broken up in a couple miles here and there
I ended up with the afternoon free and the weather was beautiful!!!
