Took Monday as a rest day. Some because I was tired from the weekend workouts and some because I was being a lazy ass. Had a relatively full day at the office while kids were off school with their dad for President's Day.
Got called in to help my surveyor get a drawing out the door quickly yesterday, but ended up kind of puttering the afternoon away until it was time to head back to pick up kids. Then I read a bit until it was time for daughter's piano lesson. Puttered away the evening until dinner led into TV time. But I got my butt moving finally about 8 PM.
Husband needed some help finishing a few things for his online class on the laptop and then I took it to watch a show on Netflix while getting in a 40 min workout on the trainer. Better than nothing. I got a bit of a sweat on and then jumped in the shower before heading to bed a little early to read for quite a while.
I'm working on Kristin Armstrong's book "Mile Markers". I like her writing style and this book is speaking to me where I am right now. I'd like to think we'd be friends if I lived in her neck of the woods - we are about the same age (I "get" some of her pop-culture references), have kids around the same ages, similar views on things (so far as I can tell by her writing). It makes for a nice daydream. And while I still teeter on being a Lance fan, that wasn't a factor in me picking up this book nor continuing to read it.
Tonight's "workout" will likely be housework - surely pushing a vacuum for an hour should count for something, right? Although I did pick up a check today from a client that could necessitate a bank run. Just not sure if I am going to be up for the crazy cold wind. Supposed to get a big winter storm tonight. Yuck. Spoiled by the generally mild winter we've had so far.
YTD:
Swimming = 5800 yds = 3.3 mi
Biking = 137.1 miles
Running = 59.6 miles
We are suppose to get some nasty weather too this weekend, starting with freezing rain tonight, followed by snow, that combonation is the worse
ReplyDeleteI have to say, get me to 8 p.m. and there would be no getting the workout in! Kudos to you.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read that book, too. She is a really good writer and seems very "human" when you read her columns.
Nice job getting onto the trainer. That was my plan for Tues also, but I opted for finish blog post/senior citizen bedtime over the trainer. Hence my early morning ride.
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
So did you brave the wind or vacuum? I would vac and call it good. I hate brutal winter winds!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteDidn't brave the cold. I know I'll wish I had when the snow and ice hits tomorrow. Did vacuum my 1600 sq ft upstairs, clean two toilets, sinks and mirrors and then had a lovely (and long) phone call with long lost friend.
DeleteGlad you are enjoying Mile Markers! It's always nice to feel like you have a connection to the author.
ReplyDeleteThe trainer comes in handy when the motivation is low. At least its easy to get on and knock out a bike session. Especially when you have something to watch on TV.
ReplyDeleteMy year to date swimming miles are a big fat 0, but I'm getting back in the pool next week. I promise myself.
ReplyDeleteHope things are slowing down for you!
