Junk Food Runner: Busting a Rut

Busting a Rut

While I love the predictability of a routine workout schedule, I have been sliding into a rut lately. Every week I do the same workouts on the same days for the same distances (except for long workouts of course). It was getting old! This week I decided to shake things up.

First I threw caution to the wind and did my long bike on Monday. Why not?

Second I added a mid-week brick to my schedule. Biked 12 miles, ran 2 miles. This means I will run 3 days in a row, which I don't think I've ever done, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Third, I am taking a class on Friday called Bottoms Up! It's a butt class. I am SO EXCITED. My favorite Zumba instructor is teaching it, and she has a really good butt.

So far I am happy with the changes. Things were just getting too boring.

If you have any other ideas for getting out of a rut, let me know!

Way to change it up! I am such a creature of habit it's hard not to fall in a rut.
