Week at a glance

Another busy week over here.....

Monday - Bike to/from work .... Bike - 14 miles

Tuesday - running late in the morning so got a ride part way to work with my husband ... Bike - 9 miles

Wednesday - Met up with a friend after work and we did a trail run. She mentioned during the run that the Running Room was doing their "20 min Challenge" night that evening. So we scooted over there and joined in at the last minute and left with a rather bright hat. Not the prettiest thing, but will definitely help to make you a bit more visible out on the roads to traffic. Ran - approx. 7 miles

Thursday - Got back to something I haven't done in a long, LONG time! For quite a while I tried to talk my running friend into doing weight workouts, but she really didn't want to. Recently she's lost some weight and is feeling a little flabby in parts that could use some firming up. She recalled me pushing the weights before and said she's maybe be willing to give it a try ..... "one day". I mentioned that we could take some drop in classes at the local rec centers. I scoped out the classes and we made plans to go to one this Thursday.

However, Thursday afternoon she called me. It was a beautiful day and she wanted to be out and about, not stuck in a class. I did mention that there was a slight possibility that the class might be outdoors since it was nice. Nope, she wanted to bike instead. I was a bit disappointed but am pretty easy going and it didn't matter too much to me. I'd already biked to/from work, but whatever. I got home from work and I have a message from her saying screw it ... let's do the class.

OMG! Unfortunately it was indoors, however since we asked about it, the instructor said she may do next week's class outside if the weather is good. We did a circuit and it kicked my butt! Squats, suicides, lunges, push-ups, burpees .... all that "fun" stuff! Being indoors made it super hot too so we were dripping in sweat.

Definitely going back, and hopefully we'll go outdoors. In the fall I'd like to sign up for a session of bootcamp like I used to do where alot of the classes are outdoors. The class we took last night was only 45 min long and I would have liked to do a longer class. Next week there is an abs only class before bootcamp, so I'd like to do both. Overall it was a VERY active day ..... Bike 14 miles, 45 min bootcamp, followed by a 45 min walk.

Friday - Biking to/from work today and with any luck I'll meet up with another friend for a walk tonight, though low intensity. Bike - 14 miles ... maybe walk about 3 miles

Have a great weekend everyone! I have a 9 mile run on tap for tomorrow! Hope I survive.  It's at a location I've been dying to get back to for about a year and a half.  Someone remind me to bring a camera .....
