Summer Challenge Day 21
Getting back on track! Got up this morning and had 2 slices of whole wheat toast with all natural peanut butter and headed to the gym! Morning workout for today was suppose to be 2 miles running, ran 2.5 miles in 22 min! I was running on the treadmill using intervals but not going all the way to a walk...this was fun and a really good workout. After my run, I headed to the pool for a nice swim...trying to find a base on swimming...250 meters...really not sure of the time...had several interruptions...that is the only thing about swimming at the gym...we have only one lap lane and the pool is always open for rec swim and lap swim at the same time...someone was in the lap lane so I was dodging kids as I swam....still a good workout and it did give me some time to focus on breathing...my weakness...after the swim, I enjoyed a lemon zest luna bar...this was new for me and very good! I had one of the mini bars, could have eaten a couple, but only had the one with me...
Picked Autumn up from child watch and went back to the pool for play time and swim practice for her. She is getting brave and figuring our how to come up for water when she can't touch! I love seeing her start to swim!
Lunch was a banana and veggie straws...I had a greek yogurt with me, but it had gone bad! Got to boil some eggs for tomorrow for lunch!
Headed home to get some stuff done around here and then decided to take my new bike out for it's first ride. Normally, I ride my run route, today I decided to go a different route...tons of hills! going down felt great, the air cooled me off...going up...what a workout! ended up with about 10 miles...felt great and I found the perfect route for brick training with my run in a few weeks...a good ride that will circle around and end up at home, then i can run! YAY
When I got back I had a class of chocolate milk and a banana for recovery.
Dinner was turkey breast, sweet potato fries baked, squash (first ones from my garden!) and green beans...yummy!!
Tomorrow is strength training, kickboxing and maybe another ride...sure there will be some pool time in there as well!
