Friday Exercise bike 40 minutes, Yoga 20 minutes (1 Hour total)

My rear end hurt, so I guess I missed last week on the bike. The yoga was because my back and shoulder have been really tight this week.

Thursday (Turkey Day Workout) Strength Workout 30 minutes

Arms, abs, legs.

I was going to do yoga tonight, but I am just too pooped from eating all day ;)

A Nice Surprise for Turkey Day

I just finished doing the first of many stair workouts for the cold months. I haven't done one of those since last winter. It's a standard shut-in-bad-weather workout for me. I usually get so incredibly sick of it by the time that spring comes that I refuse to do it until forced to. Well, today I just did NOT want to do that bike again. Plus I really need to cross train anyway. I failed to get up early enough to go running before Bruce went off to Turkey Bowl, like I had planned. So, to make sure that I got my workout in today, I did the stairs. Every winter when I do the stair workout for the first time, I am surprised by how hard it is. It's the same thing with spring and running pushing a buggy. I was expecting this to be a really hard day, especially since I haven't been doing much running. However, that bike must be doing something for me because it really wasn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, it was a good workout, but I didn't feel like dieing. I started out with the intention to quit after 30 minutes, but I felt okay, so I did 40. Go me!

Wednesday Running/ Walking 35 minutes

I ran 1 1/2 miles with BIG hills in 20 minutes, and then walked 1/2 mile in 15 minutes. I think it was 15 minutes on the walking, but I did not actually look at my watch at the end.

Plus, I washed a bunch of toys that were outside all summer and were packed, caked, and ground in with mud. It took over an hour kneeling over a bath tub so I'm totally counting it!

Saturday & Tuesday

I ran a little on Saturday, only 3 miles, but I was pushing a stroller.

Today I did 35 minutes on the bike in the basement. I aired up the tires, making a lot more friction with the friction creator thingy. It was a lot harder!

Monday Swimming 1 Hour

Plus, I fixed my car, took two kids grocery shopping for an hour, and helped the kids put up all their big toys in the yard, and bring all the little toys inside.

Breast-15 minutes, back-20 minutes, freestyle-15 minutes, kick board- 10 minutes

Walking 30+ 10 minutes

After Ahlana Shea's B-day party, I came home exhausted. I took a nap when we got home (6:30 ish), vegetated while the wife read to the kids, tucked my son in and then when down and napped some more. At about 9:45, I became conscious and checked my e-mail intending to go back to sleep. Instead, I took some baking soda (stomach settling) and some ibuprofen (my head felt bad during the napping).
Earlier, my intention had been to go get some eggs and bread from the store. Due to the previous tiredness, I did not think that it was going to happen. After I read my e-mail and checked some forums, I felt close to human. At that point, I thought that it was up to me to take a walk to the store or not, so I took the walk. Yippee.
