Another week is here - this exercise thing is getting to be "just part of my day" instead of "I should workout today!!". I wish the weather would hurry up and get nice and of course warmer. I like to do stuff outside but I hate to be cold. Don't get me wrong I like winter but that is different then it being cold in April and May. Winter cold is fresh and we dress appropriately to enjoy it. This spring/I am not sure if winter is still here weather sucks. It is freezing cold first thing in the morning and then 20 in the afternoon and the freezing again once the sun goes down!! I have not figured out how to dress appropriately yet - I am always over dressed or under dressed! It also does not help that the wind is always coming off Georgian Bay either. Despite my weather issues I have still managed to get in my exercise the past 4 days.
Monday Day 121 started at Active Life with my ladies conditioning class - it was a leg workout and it was hard. I then snuck out to the Y at lunch and got in a 30 minute run on the treadmill. The weekend that just pasted was full of food and drink so I need a little extra cardio to start the week off.
Tuesday Day 122 - well this was Matthew Birthday so I had to sneak out really early this morning to get in some exercise because I wanted to be back before he woke up to wish him a happy birthday and to make him pancakes for breakfast. So I managed to get in a 50 minute run on the treadmill - again the weather played a part on my indoor workout! This evening was also my Urge night - so I also walked to Karen's house to help work off the cheesecake Matthew ordered for his birthday dessert that I helped him eat. Just a quick note I cannot believe I have an 11 year old - boy time flies and I am really looking forward to mountain biking with him this summer and trying out our new kayak and paddle board on Georgian Bay (when it warms up :))
Wednesday Day 123 - Sarah is back from her holidays - in warm sunny Cuba - and she wanted to run early - outside - this morning. I was trying to figure out a way to get out of it but it is always a good run with Sarah - at least she does make me work harder then I would make myself work! Well it was so cold this morning that I needed mitts and a hat - again is it not May now Mother Nature! It was a tough run for both of us - a struggle to warm up and a struggle to keep going but we did manage to get in 8 km or so for 50 minutes. Not my best or favourite run but boy did I feel great for the rest of the day - Thanks Sarah!
Thursday Day 124 - again I am having issues with the weather this week. My plan today was to take it easy and get in brisk 30 minute walk this evening. Well I started down the street and was greeted by a huge lightening bolt that exploded in the sky right in front of me followed very closely by a loud bang of thunder! Needless to say a walk outside, even though the temperature was so much more pleasant, was not going to happen. So I headed over to the Y to walk on the treadmill and I managed to catch the latest Big Bang Theory - so not all was lost and I did get in my physical activity for the day!
Hope the weather will cooperate for the weekend!
