Wow, I did not realize that I was so behind in posting.  I did not do anything this past weekend.  I don't really know why, but it just did not happen.  

Monday, I couldn't work out in the morning b/c I had to take my dad to the airport.  I taught cycle that night ( running hills, very fast paced).  The instructor for the class after mine did not show up, so I stayed and taught her class.  She teaches a step/strength class, but I don't do step so I just taught strength.  It was a nice surprise for me to teach that class.

Tuesday, I ran 4 miles.  It felt good... I could have kept going.

Today  I took cycle/strength.  The cycle was endurance.  It was nice to keep a steady pace.  Everybody groans when they hear endurance, but I really like it. I have a 6 miler tomorrow and I am looking forward to it.  I realized today that I am never in the pool.  I miss it and need to get back to it.  I really do better swimming with a group or coach though.  I can't wait for the school year to be over so that I can swim w/ the masters group.

Today was my a/c class.  I started off on the bike to warm our legs up.  Then we went up to the track and did indian relays for a 1/2 mile.  After that we went back in to the room for some biceps/ shoulder presses, squats, push ups and various hr increasing activities.  I know that I got a pretty good work out so the odds are that everybody else did too.  After my class, I stuck around for cycle.  It was a great class.  Ryan teaches his classes as competitions and I eat that stuff up!  So I really worked my ass off.  I weighed myself after running 6 miles and was 145.8.  After classes today I was 144.8.  That's a lot of sweat! 

Wednesday,  I got a quick 2 miles on the treadmill (6.6 mph, 7.0 mph, 7.4 mph).  I also took cycle/ strength.  I ate to much that night though, and had a couple of beers. 

Thursday, I got in a great 6 mile run.  We ran a new route that was pretty challenging hills wise.  I enjoyed running for the first time in months.  I ran with a group so I did not use my ipod.  I need to get used to that b/c in triathlons they are not allowed.  I can handle a 5k, but a half marathon without music sounds painful.

a bust...

I did not get much of a workout in today.  I did not get to swim b/c Tab's son was sick so I subbed for her.  The cardio pump class is a combo of intervals and strength training.  I got in all of the strength, but the class is so big that I couldn't really participate.  I had to monitor the room instead.  I went back to run later, but had to turn around because Isabel couldn't get off her dance stuff in time to make it to the potty.  I forgot to bring extra clothes so I had to turn around.  I got in about 2 miles. 

Today I had to teach 2 cycle classes so that is really all I did today.  Since the kids were out of school, I did not really have time to do anything else.  They went (the classes) well.  I did the sme class in the morning and evening - Fast and flat with a few jumps and slight inclines.  Kept the heart rate up for a good 45 minutes each time.  I just got over strep throat so it felt really good to have some energy to expend.  Tomorrow I am going to try and get to the pool with the masters swim group (can't wait!) and then a quick run.  The kids will be home again, but I think  I can get to it.

2 day recap

I forgot to post yesterday, but I did get a good workout in.  On fridays I teach an athletic conditioning class so I did that.  It was around 40 so I was able to talk them into running outside so I got about a 1 mile in as well some strength on the BOSU and a variety of agility drills.  Drills really are my favorite thing to do.  I guess it is the wannabe football player in me.  After that I took Tabatha's cycle class (hills) and part of her abs class.

Today Nathaniel and I taught a couples class at the Y.  It was similar to my a/c class yesterday, but was 1 1/2 hours.  I think everyone else had a good workout, but the class was so big that I had to oversee too much to participate.  That's okay though b/c I woke up with a killer sore throat that has yet to subside.  It's as if knives are slicing through it.  I hope I feel better soon.

I decided to take a day off on Wednesday.  It was a good idea; Max and Isabel needed a few hours at home.  Today I ran about 5 miles.  They felt really good.  It was the dame route that I ran tried to do last week but couldn't.  This time I did it plus more!  I still need to work on my food log and I need to finalize a training/teaching/group exercise schedule.
