Half Marathon Training Week 2 and Fitness Pet Peeves

written by Parita 11 Comments

Needless to say, training didn’t go according to plan this week.  But I did the best I could under the circumstances.

Here’s what week 2 looked like:

Sunday – 2.5 mile walk with my sister
Monday – T25 Alpha Speed 1.0
Tuesday – T25 Beta Rip’t Circuit
Wednesday – OFF
Thursday – OFF
Friday – OFF
Saturday – 3.25 mile run

Since I was able to get the 3.25 mile run in on Saturday, I stuck with the plan and flip flopped the 6 mile run that was supposed to happen at the end of week 2 with week 3’s 5K.

Here’s to at least a few more miles this week!

I don’t have too much else to report this week.  I have a few updates to share about a dietary change I’m experimenting with and a fun new way I’m stretching.  More to come soon!

On to the second part of today’s post.  These are the big things that irk me when I’m out for a run or at the gym…fitness pet peeves of mine if you will.

Fitness pet peeves

  • Smoking while walking on an outdoor running/walking trail.  Maybe it’s just Miami but this happens way more than it should (which is never!!!).
  • Texting while running/walking.  I had someone crash into me because of this once.  Can’t make this stuff up!
  • Not moving over on a narrow path to accommodate the person running/walking towards them.  It’s just common courtesy.
  • Not wiping down your cardio machine after you just sweat all over it.  GROSS!
  • Not putting the weights back on the rack and instead leaving them strewn across the gym floor.  DANGEROUS!
  • Leaving a dirty/wet towel behind after a workout.  GAH!

I’m getting irritated just listing this out.  Better stop now before I blow up at Vishnu for no reason.  Haha.

What are some of your fitness pet peeves?
