It was brilliantly sunny and warm today. It was a lazy Saturday morning, that started far too early. Have I mentioned that before? I feel like a broken record. After playing waitress, and short order cook, doing the dishes, and getting the kids cleaned up, I went upstairs and suited up for my workout today.
Man of few words was less than thrilled that I was ditching him and the kids to go off by myself. I had a full day planned with them - shopping for a birthday gift for a party, shopping for the perfect father's day gift, a 2.5 hour birthday party in the land of over-stimulation. I needed the time to myself. I needed to catch a breather, and revitalize...
I planned on just doing 2.
Ginger only lasted 1. It was warm. We were tired from a late night last night, and too much wine.
Doing my normal Peter Rd Intervals, I plodded along. Looking forward to my rest breaks, but digging down deep as I came upon each one, I sweat through my workout. Today was an iPod day because I needed all the motivation I could get. Day 6 of my workouts, I'm proud of my motivation, but it still made today's workout a little more difficult on the heals of my cross-training 900 calorie burn from yesterday.
At the 2 mile mark, I hit a pit stop at the house. Refreshed with a drink break, and a potty stop, I went on to "do one more". One more turned into 2 more which in turn emptied the tank!
At least I laced up the kix and made it! I'm looking forward to my day off from exercise, but am very pumped about how well I did this week!
Monday I plan to calibrate my iPod runnign thingee on the treadmill, along with my cross-training workout at the gym. (is this iPod thingee called a +, or a nike+ or an iPod + I have no idea!)
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Hoping for cold beers, hot coals on the BBQ, and a day full of sunshine and love.
