Last week I got hit with a major sinus headache which I think was related to seasonal allergies. It was bad and knocked me out. I took a Sudafed PM in the AM and it made me so incredibly tired I slept like 3 hours straight. I hardly ate anything the whole day. I didn't exercise Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday I skipped swimming in the morning. I did rollerblade with the kids while they biked and I played street hockey at night. Thursday I ran 5 miles in the morning. Friday I went to Power and it was harder last week--I struggled. Saturday I rested because I was very busy with VBS stuff all morning and in Eugene a good part of the day. Sunday I swam for 40 minutes in VB's lake which went really well. Now it's VBS week and I am committing to exercise all week even though it's a full busy week for me. I need it. I can't afford not to do it.
Monday - Ran 4 miles
Really good run. Allergies are under control and I feel back to normal. A little pain in my lower back and not sure if that's from Power, falling while roller blading or gardening. It's not too bad. Nice sunny morning. Good way to burn off nervous energy for the start of VBS.
For VBS week I did really well! Usually my intentions start well but I give up midweek. Not the case this time. :) On Tuesday I biked at Minto Brown in the afternoon. On Wednesday I swam in the early morning with Tracy & Erica. Thursday I was so exhausted I crashed in the afternoon and slept two hours straight (the kids were at the VB's house). I had not felt that tired in a long time. Friday I went to Group Power in the late afternoon and Anna (Hailey's teacher) was there--kind of fun to see her. Saturday I did a track workout at South Salem High in the late afternoon. Sunday I was still really tired so I didn't do anything. I did register for Hagg Lake which is July 12th.

6/8 - 6/14
Last week Rob was gone and I didn't have a lot of help...nor did I have much time. We had 8th grade graduation, kindergarten graduation, Moms Next breakfast etc. I did run 4 miles on Monday and I swam for a half hour Wednesday afternoon in the pool...that's it. :( It's fine because now Rob is back and child care is over for the summer and I have more time.
Monday - Bike 45 minutes
Biked at Minto Brown and doing very well biking in clips. I can't clip in as fast as I would like. Sometimes I struggle and have that fear of falling or slipping off the pedals. I am so much better than I was last summer.
Tuesday - Ran 3 miles
I woke up with a bad headache. Combination of PMS, allergies, and I had one beer last night at Applebees and didn't drink enough water yesterday. I knew if I got out there, it would help. My ipod battery was dead so I had to run without music...which turned out to be OK. I ran at 7 AM...could get used to running this late. Nice now that school is out I am not as pressed for time.
Wednesday - Swam 1 hour
Nice to be back with my swimming crew...except a few are taking June and July off and going to spin class instead to prepare for a bike trip. Erica was still there and so I wasn't by myself. We did a pretty intense workout and I did about half of what she did. Nice to be in the pool again in the mornings.
Thursday - Swam 1 mile (about 45 minutes that included 3-4 very short break) in the open water
I went to my first swim at the reservoir. I had never been out there before and unfortunately it's a good half hour or 45 minute drive one way. I knew this guy Len was going to be there and we kept posting on the club Facebook board so I expected him. Not sure if anyone else would be there. He was super helpful as he knew all the distances. I followed behind him the whole time. He was quite a ways ahead, but I could always look up and see him in the distance. It really was a great swim and I am liking the open water now that I can do it finally. It was a little colder than VW's lake and my face was getting numb near the end and my arms somewhat chilled. I just kept swimming. Len thinks we did about a mile which is awesome! We took a few very short breaks about 1-2 minutes long at the most. The reservoir is a little clearer and less weed than VB's lake, but I still might go to their lake again too since it's so much closer.
Friday - Group Power
It is nice to have more freedom on when to exercise. I went to 9:30 Power which is a nice crowd and the instructor is pretty lively. My goal was to do all the push ups on my toes and I nearly did. My arms are much stronger thanks to swimming and gardening. I enjoy Power so much more now and grateful for the summer when I am not locked into going only Thursday early morning...I have more options now.
Saturday - Brick - Biked 1/2 hour Ran 3 miles
Good workout and biked in clips on the street. :)
