Day 60 of 70!

Time got away from me last night, so I didn’t get a chance to post an update. But don’t worry…

Day 60 was completed!

Yesterday was going to be another busy one. I had to work late, and my car needed to be dropped off for inspection, so I knew waiting until later in the day to work out probably wasn’t going to happen.

That meant one thing:

Get it done early.

First Stop: The Treadmill

After dropping the kids off at school, I dropped my car off at the shop, and my husband picked me up.

Once we got home, it was time to get down to business.

I started with 1 mile of running on the treadmill with no incline.

Once that mile was finished, I cranked the treadmill incline all the way to the max and walked another full mile at a steady pace.

With that six-hour endurance event coming up, I’ve been trying to incorporate more incline work into my training.

And after seeing that hill on the actual course…

I’m going to need it. 😂

Two miles down.

Next up: strength training.

Gravl Strength Workout

Then I opened Gravl and got to work.

Today’s workout included:

Dumbbell Glute Bridge – 15 lbs

• 12 reps
• 11 reps
• 12 reps
• 14 reps

Single-Arm Dumbbell Tricep Extension – 10 lbs

• 12 reps
• 11 reps
• 10 reps

Kettlebell Row – 20 lbs

• 14 reps
• 13 reps
• 12 reps
• 11 reps

Kettlebell Halo – 10 lbs

• 12 reps
• 11 reps
• 10 reps
• 10 reps

Dumbbell Front Raise – 10 lbs

• 12 reps
• 12 reps
• 11 reps

Mountain Climbers

• 19 reps
• 19 reps

So after two treadmill miles, including a full mile at maximum incline, I finished things off with a pretty solid full-body strength session.

Not a bad way to start the morning.

TEN DAYS LEFT!

It’s a little crazy to type this, but…

Day 60 is complete.

When I started this challenge, 70 days sounded like such a long time.

Now there are only 10 days left.

I’ve run farther.

I’ve gotten faster.

I’ve hiked new trails.

I’ve had workouts that felt amazing and workouts where my legs turned into jelly.

I’ve had days when everything went according to plan and plenty when absolutely nothing did.

But through all of it, I’ve kept showing up.

We’re officially in the final 10.

Day 60 complete. 10 days to go. 💪🩷

Real miles. Real mom. No filter.
