At the job I have accrued enough vacation, sick leave, and personal time such that, in conjunction with each pay period’s new accruals and holidays, I could have a paid day off every single week between now and retirement. The main drawback is I’d be short if I wanted to take whole weeks. Plus I would have to call out sick a lot and the bosses would catch on.
Anyway, on to the fun stuff! I set a goal to work out five times last week. Did I meet that goal? Keep reading and find out!🙂
On Tuesday I went to HIIT (high intensity interval training). I am iffy about that class because it is HARD, and for the past 6 months it’s been a succession of not so great instructors. Well happy day! My favorite HIIT teacher Erin is back. It was a great class and I made sure to take it very easy with the weights (I used 2 and 3 pound weights only).
On Wednesday, my daughter and I went for a 3 mile run after work. The weather was perfect and a random man on his lawn yelled out “You’re inspiring!” which made our day.
I had every intention to go to Zumba on Thursday, but instead accompanied the daughter to Target so she could exchange some shoes.
On Saturday I swam 40 laps at the Y, and on Sunday morning I ran 4 miles.
Sunday afternoon my husband and I went to a nearby nature preserve to walk on one of the trails. The trail started out great, but pretty soon we were in ankle deep squishy mud. We had the right footwear but headed back to our car after 30 minutes. I’m calling that half a workout.
In conclusion, I did 4 1/2 workouts.
Happy Earth Day!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful, active week!
Thank you Sarah! I am going to check out your blog.
DeleteI wish my stepkids would develop a love of running and go running with me! It's cool that man said you were inspiring to him. I love trail running but can't stand trudging through mud either. Hey, running shoes are too expensive to stomp through mud and water!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I hosed down two pairs of running shoes after this weekend, both old, though. I am due for a new pair and will keep those clean! Thank you for commenting!
