There's really not much to say about this past week. I realized on Tuesday that I needed to make some adjustments to my scheduled workout. It actually turned into quite the internal debate with myself to the point where I had to call Patrick to talk it out with someone else. I basically told him to just let me talk it out and then if he was able to follow the conversation he could give me his opinion.
We both decided that the changes would be beneficial to my mental and physical health. I was worried that I was just making excuses to not do the workout DVD that night, but overall it ended up working in my favor and I really liked having the nights off from strength training on the days that I did cross training.
I did end up skipping the workout DVD on Friday (that was moved from Wednesday/Thursday) due to just being exhausted from getting up early to workout and working a lot of overtime this past week. I left the decision up to Patrick, telling him that 1. I was exhausted and 2. I wouldn't regret doing the DVD but that I might feel guilty for not doing it. If the DVD was on when I got home I would have done it, if not then I would take the evening off. I was oddly happy (and surprised) that the DVD was not on when I got home.
This weekend's long run was spread out between the two days due to weather conditions. Saturday's 8 mile run felt wonderful and although Sunday's 6 mile run didn't feel as good, it was still a good run. Any run is a good run. I am so grateful to Patrick for letting me go out both weekend days for long distance runs. I do not know what I would do without my support system, but I am forever grateful for them. I would not be able to make these goals and move forward with achieving them if it wasn't for these people.
Sunday's run brought me to day 35 of my running streak. With each day that I complete my minimum 1 mile run I am achieving a new longest distance to date. It is really exciting to me to reach new milestones on a daily basis and I am only 15 short days away from reaching my first mini goal of a 50 day running streak. It's gone by so fast this time around and is still so exciting for me that I know this time is a lot different from the last. I have a really strong feeling that I could actually make it to my big goal of 500 days. I know that seems crazy to some (okay, most), but it's keeping me active and I am really enjoying this. I know my limits and I will know when to stop, but until then I am giving this my best shot to make it the full length of this streak.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
I will admit that I enjoyed myself a little too much in the food department and although I tracked (most of it), it was not pretty. Back at it today! I feel as though it's okay to splurge every once in a while, and there's really no better time to do so than on the weekend, however knowing myself, I need to get back to tracking 100% otherwise I will not get back to it and will slowly lose all motivation that I may have had these past few weeks. I am so not ready to fall back to old habits, so I am ready to get back to the healthy choices an d smaller portions. At least until Thursday...
