It has been kind of weird week. I went from working long hours right to vacation with hardly a break in between. Home from vacation and kind of sick while still trying to help Rob with the rental house. Now that the festivities with the 4th of July are over, I don't have much going on until I go to Texas. I really am ok with that. Not complaining in the least. I have not had so much choice on what I want to do in the day since I had COVID in January of 2021 and had two weeks of paid leave. Even last summer felt way busier in July and I can't put my finger on why or what we were doing.
The only thing I can guess is I was pretty burned out and emotionally exhausted from work last year which went all the way until July 2nd...plus I worked an extra week after that. I had no idea the emotional toll it took on me and how it spilled into other areas of my life. That is why I am really passionate now about workplace etiquette and conflict resolution in the workplace...because I don't think I could ever go back to that type of environment. I didn't realize how toxic it was until I was out of it.
Here's what I did this week...and it's so nice to exercise again and be at the gym
Monday = Rest. We were pretty busy with 4th of July activities
Tuesday = Swam 1,000 yards in the afternoon at River Road
Wednesday = Biked to and from Battlecreek (did not have Strava on but I am guessing I biked about 7 miles today). It was wonderful to be on Orange Mango again and so confident biking...I didn't lose any of that over the winter. I went to Power 30 which I like way more than Power.
Thursday = Went to R30 in the evening at Battlecreek and ran intervals (2.15 miles) at Wendy Kroger Park. I wanted to run at Pringle Elementary but it's all torn up and blocked off due to construction. The dumb Wes Bennet neighbors don't let anyone park in the street. There are no parking signs literally everywhere even in front yards. Come on people--why is it such a big deal to park on your street!?
Friday = Ran 3 miles
Saturday = Power 30 and then ran 4 miles at the parks watching them set up for Ironman 70.3
Sunday = No formal workout but Hailey and I walked 2 miles to get the swimmers to the Ironman swim start and back
