Sunsets, Lakes, & Labor Day


What a beautiful weekend. I enjoyed spending my last "summer" weekend at the lake with Travis, his family, and some of their friends. It was a great time had by all. I originally thought I would get some nice early morning runs in, but that didn't quite happen. I kinda forget some necessary items to do the running..oops..better luck on that next time. Instead, Travis and I took the paddle boat out to the point and back. That was fun. I think we freaked his mom out cause on our way back they showed up in the boat. We were gone for about 45 mins so I can understand...we did take on some water with the big waves around the point. I kept telling Travis, "this is my 'workout' for the day." He kept looking at me funny...I mean it's not a bike ride or a run or anything but I figured it was similar, but different to a recumbent bike. Eventually he started smirking..then I looked over..NO WONDER it was a 'workout' he wasn't really peddling...his feet were just sitting on the peddles....I WAS DOING ALL THE WORK.. He got splashed. If i could have thrown him overboard without jeopardizing myself, I would have. We had LOTS of yummy food all weekend...I don't think I'll be hungry for a week. We had campfires both nights on the beach...and ate reese's peanutbutter cup smoresz...mmmmm mmmm good. I dropped my peanut butter cup in the sand the second night..so I had a regular smore..damn creepy crawly thing that went across my foot. Overall it was a great long weekend I really had fun.

As for workouts I swam at the Y last week..takin' time off from swim team(already miss it), but i was able to do 2000 meters at the Y Friday morning and used paddles, bouy, kickboard, and streamline kicks...I'm a rockstar what can i say. Learning all those techniques in swimteam has helped soooo much. Can't wait for next session though. I like it better when they plan my routine/workout. I did some biking and running last week too..and I logged 2.10 miles this morning on the treadmill at the Y before my knee start to hurt. I figure it's been 7 months on my peach Adrenaline 9's might be time to break in the new red Adrenaline 9's. Plus a friend is going to show me some good exercises for my knees and how to use the strength machines too. I look forward to that...anything can help.

My workout plan for the Week:
Monday...rest
Tuesday....Run(2.10 miles)
Wednesday...Sprint Run at Athletic Republic
Thursday...Bike & Weight Machines
Friday....Swim
Saturday...Run after (work)
Sunday...Swim
