Yikes! I just went a full six days with absolutely zero exercise! Don't be like me, ok? I have all sorts of excuses (Christmas being a biggie), but, the truth is, I just didn't want to do it.
So, now that's out of my system, and I've gotta get back on track! I did go for a run yesterday and it was beautiful out! The snow is deep, but roads are mostly clear. Sidewalks were about 75% clear so I did run through some snow. Sun was shining, warming my face and shoulders and it was just beautiful! Did 4 miles and loved it. Later, we went swimming with the kids and I swam about 750 yards. I forgot my cap, though, so every time I turned to breathe, I got hair in my mouth. Blech!
Previous week catch-up:
Thursday: Spin class in the morning. The hard instructor was there. She killed us and then as I looked at my watch and had some momentary relief thinking, "Oh, good, only 5 minutes left" Then she said, "Last thing is an all-out sprint........for a FULL 5 MINUTES". My mouth hit the floor and I thought, "You've gotta be kidding me!" Oh, man it killed me, but I did it!
Friday: Swimming - It's hard to swim when I don't have a certain workout to follow. I find myself just cruising along making things up as I go and then not feeling like I did a great workout afterward. Anyway, I did spend 50 minutes in the pool.
Saturday: Ski day!!! Travis and I took the older girls skiing up to Brighton. We skied all day and had a blast! It was exhausting, though. Skiing uses so many different muscle groups and I was exhausted. I received a text in the middle of the day from my soccer team asking if I could play that night. I was tempted to say no because I was so tired, but Travis said, "Come on...you're an Iron Woman! You can do it!" So I went and played. It was a good game, but I think that is the most physically exhausting day I've had since I did my first triathlon! My body was shaking.
Sunday/Monday: Rest days......ouch! My muscles hurt so bad! I was having a hard time walking!
Tuesday: Christmas
Wednesday: Lazy - Well I shoveled four driveways.....does that count for something?
Thursday: Got up to go to the gym only to be met by more snow. Took me 1/2 hr to shovel and the roads were so bad it took 25 min. to get to the gym. By the time I got there, I only had 5 min. before I had to leave to come home so Trav could go to work. So I just turned around and came home.
Friday: Spent the day Grandma-sitting - no motivation.
