Week 4 done

Week 4!

I had a 2-day employee retreat scheduled this week and wasn’t entirely sure how those 2 days would play out in terms of available time to workout. And…I got in more than I expected!

Sunday – Half hour swim. I took both kids to the lap pool! Wow, talk about working things out as a family. They did great. We went in the end lane that has a little more wiggle room and they steadily swam back and forth or got out of the pool to critique me. (It has become a favorite of theirs to tell me how  poorly I’m kicking.) = half hour

Monday – 1 hour strength. Went to triple block training and fierce abs. = 1 hour

Tuesday – After the day of facilitation I had just enough time to fit in a 6 mile run before the cocktail hour. This run felt great! I averaged 9:30 and it felt easy. I had some stress to get out! = 1 hour

Wednesday – Ran 3 miles with an employee at the retreat, nice and easy. (New running friend!!) Then I jumped on the bike for 20 minutes. = 1 hour

Thursday – Bike ride with my friend Amy! = 1 hour, 30 minutes

Friday = Swim lesson. Made progress AND have much more to learn. = half hour

Saturday = Run, about 9.5 miles, with a break in there to visit the farmers market with some running buddies + 35 minutes of strength at the gym, focused on glutes, hamstrings, and core. = 2 hours

TOTAL = 7.5 hours
