    Holy cow, where did January go? Week in Review.

    Monday-

    Tuesday-Swim 1.6k

    Wednesday-Run 4k, walk 1k,run 2k. Went to a new boot camp class afterwards. I like my other class better. This teacher said, "If I hear you talking in class, I'm going to yell at you". Didn't care for her personality. No one was talking, smiling or laughing in class,not my idea of a fun class. Class was hard, I was overheated (probaly from running before class) and I just about barfed in class. Took a while to cool down and get feeling better after class.

    THursday-Swim 1.8k. Leg and foot cramps when using the fins last .3k. Must have been from boot camp the day before. 

    Friday-Bike 20k The back side of my legs are still sore from boot camp. Must bave been a good work out in  boot camp. I'm glad my entire legs aren't sore. I must be getting stronger leg muscles on the front side of my leg. I guess I don't know the proper name for  my leg muscles. 

    I am planning on a longer run tomorrow morning. Hopefully, my legs won't be as sore by then. I best get up early before it gets too hot and nasty.

    Tired to put in more effort this week. It paid off, but I have been sorea and tired. 

    Monday- 10k (Run 6, walk 2, run 3) bike 10k

    Tuesday- Swim 1.9k, walk 5k evening

    Wed- Boot camp. The nice teacher is back. Good workout, been sore the last few days. I was super tired but did a slow 3k run afterwards. Very slow, but did it.

    Thursday- Swim 1.9k, bike 10k, walk 5 k in evening. Still sore from boot camp. Even woke up in the middle of the night a couple of times because I was so sore.  

    Friday- Bike 22.5k I was still so sore from boot camp, riding my bike was about all I could do. Got in another little workout afterwards just cleaning the car- It was getting pretty scuzzy. Scrubbed, polished and shinned. All I need now is a new airfreshener. I think the  only way to keep it clean is to never let the kids inside again. :)

    Not sure what I will do Saturday. I shouldn't be very sore anymore,  maybe run and swim. I have to hlep my teenager with something early in the morning and then it looks like the day just stays busy.  My husband volunteered to coach the kids baseball team, but then he had to travel out of town so I'll be spending the afternoon standing out in the hot sun trying to help kids do something I know nothing about. Yikes.

    One good note I found out the time for the 10k I did 2 weeks ago. I thought my time was 1:10:00, it was really only 1:07:00. I was still last but not as slow as I thought. :) 

     Saturday-

    Yipee, got my exercise in before 8am. 5k run and swim 1k.  I even got up early enough to not need to wear sunscreen or a swim shirt in the pool. I saw a lot of friends walking today becuase tomorrow is their marathon. Someday for me, maybe, but not tomorrow. As I was running around the lake, I saw the Saturday ealry morning boot camp class. I tried to sneak by because I didn't want them to start begging me to join.  I smiled, ran by quickly and then 2 mintues later, they ran past me carrying car tires above their heads. I felt like a slacker but also felt so glad that I wasn't in boot camp class today.

    Monday- Bike 25k

    Tuesday -swim 2k

    Wednesday- boot camp and run 5k

    Thursday -swim 2k

    Friday- run 7k, walk 1k, boot camp, run 2.5k

    Saturday- hiking - yeah. Why can't life always be this good.

    A friend introduced me to a good after exercise drink. Coconut water. Low cal and full of good stuff for your body. The problem is I am tempted to eat the coconut meat, which is not as healthy for you. I think I will get a couple when I go to the market and then leave them in the fridge for days when I do more exercise.  

    I'm trying to make sure I get in a "long" run each week. Monday is the best day for me to do it, because Sunday is my rest day, but then it gets tricky because people ask me to do other things on Mondays. I guess it is my fault for not guarding my Monday's better. I ended up doing my longer run on Friday, with boot camp in the middle. I wonder if it still counts if you break it up like that. Any opinions?

    Monday- boot camp, run 3k

    Tuesday- swim 2.1k, bike 10k

    Wednesday - run 5k, boot camp, run 2.5k 

    Thursday- swim 2.1k

    Friday- run 8.5k, walk 1k, run 2.5k. Spent a lot of time at an outdoor market in the heat that day. That afternoon there was a charity run at the school, but I  think I was tired and hot and didn't do as well as I could have. My time was over 09:00 and I know I have done a mile run 30 seconds faster than that before. Room for improvement. I was getting a little down on myself and then had a nice talk with a friend that also ran the 1 mile that day.  She gave me some advice and helped me feel better.

     Saturday- Easy day 5k bike ride, 1k swim. I hate the mall, but had to go to the bank to get money. Well the bank doesn't dispense cash on weekends. I was so mad for going all the way over there for nothing. Watched 2 boys play baseball games and felt like a marshmellow roasting in the hot sun. Went to an international food fair and got good food for dinner. Had a Falafel and a plate of Kimchi. Kind of a strange combination, but it was what I was in the mood for. I got some Sweedish meatballs and Sushi and Shrimp/mango salsa to take home for later.  I was too late and the Dutch pies were all sold out. I didn't even make it over to the other half of the countries....next time.
