Finally a regular schedule! May 31
After taking on a fairly heavy volunteer commitment back in February, it’s finally almost over and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Between volunteering and full time shift work finding time to get in some solid brick workouts has been tough, but now things are starting to work out again. I’ve got to admit, I can get a little grumpy when I miss my workouts, but to miss a training session and be stuck inside on a sunny day = definately grumpy!!
So, here’s a little rundown of the last week and a half, not one of my better weeks by any stretch, but 6 night shifts in 8 days left me little time to do what I really wanted!
WEDNESDAY 21st - weights (started w/30 min core exercises, then weights 2 sets: 1 min of light high reps and 2nd set 10 reps of heavy weight)
THURSDAY 22nd - easy 6km on trails behind the house
FRIDAY 23rd - Rest Day!
SATURDAY 24th - 6hrs martial arts course and 30 min run on the little trails at Elk Lake with Rosheen
SUNDAY 25th - 5km run w/ stairs and sprints along Dallas Rd and the waterfront, followed by another 4 hrs of the same martial arts course
MONDAY 26th - MUCH needed rest (a few bruises to tend to before I wear shorts and a tank top!)
TUESDAY 27th - road ride from house to downtown and back, followed by a nice 30 min trail run with Danielle and Panda near Mt Doug
WEDNESDAY 28th - weights (2 sets of light weight and high reps over 60 seconds)
THURSDAY 29th - 40 min trail run thru Royal Roads with Danielle and Panda (perfect run!!)
FRIDAY 30th - Rest day - but went to Cirque de Solie with Kitt - AMAZING show, I’ve always wanted to see it and it was brilliant!
SATURDAY 31st - 60 min paddle on the Gorge in our new canoe (Bell Northwind Carbon Fibre - SUPER light weight! I’m still learning to paddle it but I love it!)
And now, here I am, at work till the morning… Best piece of advice right now - never, ever take your pillow for granted!
