Hump Day workout(s)

Yesterday I got out running again. The last time I ran was thursday. I didn't do my long run this weekend, due to getting back in town late from the Tri. So, I did 5 on my lunch hr (or hr 1/2 :-) and it felt good. I still want to keep my weekly running miles from 15-20 Max, (actually, more around the 15 than the 20) until training starts back in June. I don't want to burn out on runs. So, I took this one nice and easy - a fat burning run... Need it!!

Today was a full activity day for me. My lunch break was spent at the Y swimming, or shall I say - looking like I was attempting this sport. I'm not much of a technique swimmer, but, with time, I'll get better - hopefully. I did 500 yards, all the while my husband did 1100 yards. Yes, I'm admitting that. Anyway, everyone has to start somewhere, right? I am going to take an adult swim class for preperation for triathlons this summer. Overall, it felt great, and I'm going to be tracking it along with my runs, just so I can one day in the future see my improvment.

After work, I got into the highly demanded cycle class by Jeni. This was my 2nd class (w/her) and I love it. It's so intense as long as you follow her instructions on tensity level. It's a great feeling when you push yourself past that comfort level - it's so worth the pain getting there. So, all in all - I'm exhausted. I'm laying here in bed just finishing watching AI and watching my daughter fall into dreamland. She's so sweet!

In her words, "I a tired monkey".
