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. :)
Sunday - Rest
