Weekend activites

Well, Friday I left work and headed to Tullahoma for my long run.  I ran in the subdivisions around east middle school.  Carried water for my first time.  It was a little awkward but I guess I got used to it.  The water kept me from holding the timer so I just ran and tried to pace myself out which led to me being very slow.  But I could have probably pushed out another few miles.  I was actually interrupted by Lisa when I was about to start a loop thru Tara.  I was almost at 7 miles.  She was giving me a bike trainer to take a look at.  It took me 1:22 to run 7.25 miles.

 

After my run, it was Casa Mexico with Jessie, the parents and brothers.  Then I got conned into replacing brake pads on my brothers car at like 1030 at night.  Oh well, I like working on cars.     

 

Saturday, Jessie and my mother were planning on doing Zoomba and meeting me in spin class.  Jessie had to run off to work (she was supposed to have the day off, but had to go fill in for a lady that had a kidney infection).  I went to Joyce’s boot camp with Chad (Brian bailed out) which ran over.  It was interesting to say the least and challenging.   Did a lot of drills in there that I hadn’t done since high school.  They were easier in high school as well :P…  Got a good ab workout at the end as well.  After that I was 20 min late for spin class. 

 

The rest of Saturday was spent doing odd jobs around the house.  I finally got around to installing the bike racks I bought for my garage so I don’t have to have my bikes propped up against the wall anymore.    Also tried out the trainer.  It used a squirrel cage for resistance which made it loud and was kind of a pain to get it set up.  It’s not something I’d see myself doing in my spare time.  Lisa ended up buying a new trainer over the weekend and offered me that one.  I honestly don’t think it would be something I’ll ever use. 

 

Sunday was the rest day this week.  So it was off to the Aquarium in Chattanooga to check out the otters and penguins.  Jessie and I had a good time.    I could really feel the boot camp soreness kicking in while stumbling around Chattanooga.   I didn’t think It’d make me sore, I was wrong haha. 

 

So here we are on yet another Monday.  An interesting one so far, apparently there was a police chase on the interstate that ended with the suspect in a body bag.  I came to work the back way so I missed it all… boo.   My running mileage goes up this week, I’m up to 5, 5 and 8.  I’m still sore from boot camp as well.

 

Swimming tonight.  Should be a fun workout  and loosen me up as well.

 

Congratulations to Chad and Brian for their 5k in the cold on Sunday.  I signed up for the Preds 5k today which will be my first race.
