Last Week in Training

It has been so beautiful here! We have only had one or two nights of snow and cold and other than that, it's been unseasonably warm.

Last Saturday and Sunday Brad was out of town and I didn't have to lifeguard so I took advantage and spent lots of time working out! It is very hard for me to stay motivated during the holiday season because there are so many other temptations and I have so much to do (this year we are hosting both of our families and buying/wrapping presents for/cooking for 15 people! I am also working on a quilt for my SIL that I should've finished weeks ago...).

Anyway, here is a review of my last week + in training:

Saturday, Dec. 12th:

6.2 Mi Run Early Afternoon--felt like trying out a new route! It was challenging but enjoyable
2.05 Mi Late Afternoon--I hadn't showered yet and figured why not run again before it gets dark?? 60 degree weather -- I ran with just shorts and a sports bra and arm warmers! :-D

Sunday, Dec 13th:

4.77 Mi on a trail I've been meaning to explore for awhile! Again it was PERFECT weather! Was at a good pace for the first 4.15 mi (8:40) then I used the last bit for a cool down (9:30).

Tuesday, Dec 15th:

Spinning Class, 40 min. I'd been meaning to check this class out! I'm happy I did and can't wait to go back.

Wednesday, Dec 16th:

2.5 Mi Trail Run--Beautiful day for a run!
3400M Rowing machine--it is slowly becoming my favorite workout!
Lower body lift--felt great!

(I got a second wind after work and worked out for 1 hour +!)

Thursday, Dec 17th:

5k Run on the trails
Upper body lift--really pushed myself today with a new exercise--circle curls!

Saturday, Dec 19th:

Only had time for a 1.5 mi run due to some weekend plans/having to lifeguard 6a-11a but I ran as fast as I could finishing at 6:55 am

Sunday, Dec 20th:

1200M Swim--Lifeguarded again and the pool was empty for awhile so I swam!

Clearly I was all about crosstraining/trying different things this week and it was fun! Helps with my work-out ADD.
