Training Week in Review
This week we mixed things up again and it was a great week.
Monday: Yoga/Extended Stretching
Tuesday: Steady 10K – Urban Running (lots of fun, basically looking for all the conditions I usually avoid 😉 )
Wednesday: 5K EASY – wasn’t so easy LOL the run before with all that fun made for some tired legs.
Thursday: 7K Alternate fast/easy – practiced running at my max for a km then eased it up and repeated 3x.
Friday: OFF
Saturday: 17.5K – the weather improved to a feels like -20ºC, light snow throughout the run. Overall great run.
Sunday: 15K – temps even better at -10 or so. 75% of this run was messy….very greasy running conditions. Add to it tired legs from the long run on Saturday and this was a challenging run. Stayed consistent and felt good about it.
With all this outdoor running you can imagine the amount of laundry that builds up! Some days I find getting out the door to be a bit of a chore. Running indoors is so much easier. Grab some shorts, a sports bra/tank, socks, shoes and you are good to go. Running outside requires layers, fuel, hydration, music/phone, etc. If I miss a midweek laundry day it’s crazy how much laundry accumulates with all my running attire. I probably have more running clothes than regular clothes now. (hint 😉 if you ever need to buy me something)
The above winter running photo is just one run worth of clothes, now multiply that by 5 and add a jacket or two in the mix. My husband is amazing and is so helpful around the house. He often will do laundry, but even he hates how much running clothes need to be washed every week. We often negotiate who transfers the wash when it’s my running stuff as it all needs to be hung to dry 🙂
I was given the opportunity to try a Toilettree Bamboo Product for review and I immediately requested their bamboo laundry hamper.
When I opened the box I was relieved to see how easy it was to assemble. The fresh smell of bamboo was amazing. I don’t know if I’ve smelled bamboo before. The outside structure of the hamper is very solid and there is a hinge top to keep things tidy. The separate insert is very easy to remove if you want to wash it. I personally love the two compartments that allow me to sort the laundry before laundry day. It makes grabbing a quick load easy. I would 100% recommend this product for the simplicity of assembling it, the practicality of the double compartments and of course the beauty of the product itself. I will likely purchase a second one for the laundry room.
We recently renovated the master walk-in closet and this hamper fit in beautifully. It holds so much laundry and really helps to keep our closet tidy. This hamper is so clean and fresh looking. I’ve been using it for about 8 weeks now and I know it’s just a hamper but honestly it’s so nice!
