Monday is back, back again! This Monday I don’t mind so much because instead of getting ready to head into work right now, I’m settling in on the couch with a cup of coffee. I’m always thankful for three-day weekends and this one was definitely needed. I’ve been feeling fatigue like WHOA, so I’m using today to rest and catch up on some things at home. In the meantime, let’s chat FOMO.
On FOMO
If you were anywhere near social media yesterday, you probably noticed so many people CRUSHING it at their races, namely the Chicago Marathon. I’m sure #MedalMonday will be blowing up even harder today. Let me tell you, the FOMO–or Fear Of Missing Out–is so real!
This time last year, I was in the thick of half marathon training and about a month away from my first runDisney experience. This year has been completely different. Due to a supremely busy summer and exhaustive heat, I took a pretty long break from running. Fall running is my jam, but I’ve been hesitant to dive back in because we’re still having summer-like temps around here. And that brings me back to the FOMO.

How do you cure FOMO? You’ve probably heard the expression “stay in your own lane” or “run the mile you’re in”. I think the latter analogy is more fitting for this particular situation.😜 A lot of times those expressions are reserved for reminding people to refrain from judgment, but they’re also a reminder that everyone experiences different seasons. Not every season is meant to push you to the limits and your season shouldn’t be spent trying to measure up to the person next to you. Run the mile you’re in and be PROUD of that pace–no matter how fast or slow it is.
Last Week’s Workouts
Sunday, 9/30/18:
Sunday, per my usual, was yoga day. I’ve been OH-SO tired lately, and being intentional about stretching it out and working on mobility makes me feel a lot better.
Monday, 10/1/18:
Monday started with chest and back and ended with a little bit of kickboxing cardio from Studio Tone It Up.
Tuesday, 10/2/18:
A total body fusion of strength and yoga was perfect for Tuesday!

Wednesday, 10/3/18:
Lower body work with the mini resistance bands were on the docket for Wednesday. Wednesday is my busiest day at school, so I always appreciate getting some me-time in before the day starts.
Thursday, 10/4/18:
Rest day.
Friday, 10/5/18:
Friday I hit total body from the Jillian Michaels app. I always love the way Jillian splits up her workouts to focus on different body parts. This one was “front of the body”–chest, quads, shoulders and core.

Saturday, I utilized the “back of the body” counterpart of Friday’s workout to hit back, biceps, triceps, glutes, hamstrings, and again, core.
