The first weekend of February

It has been a great week, things are going well with training and life in general. Thursday I did some killer strength work, and then a nasty stairs session that left me completely spent! I ended up not riding in lieu of a 2hr nap :-D, a good trade off in my opinion.
Friday I had a new client in the am and then took H-dog out for a run. We ran fast! The recent snowfall has made for better traction on the skating rink pathways. After the run I had a quick snack and headed to the pool. I was on the phone with a friend who ended up being on her way into the pool too, it was pretty funny. I had a great swim, although I chatted too much and didn't get through my workout as I only had 50mins of swim time in the 60min session- oops! It is all good though, my body was so spent it took a huge effort to get through what I did. I felt super satisfied at the end, a hard week's work complete!

Today D is off running with the group and I am going to head out shortly. I kind of wish I had gone with him, but I didn't get up until 8 and didn't have time to eat, get dressed etc. I do love sleeping in on Saturdays though...
I only have a 75min run, so nothing too big. Tomorrow will be our spin group, and we have a tough 2hr workout planned. Should be good and trashed by the end of that. Monday is a rest day but I might hit the pool with a client who is a former competitive swimmer. I can use all the help I can get.

Looking forward to family time this weekend! Have a great one!

Great to hear you are back into training and feeling better! I love your list of 25 random things about you! It is a lot of fun to read those.

Took your advice and slept in VERY late today!!

Sometimes those chatty sessions at the pool are the best workouts after all. They provide a little lightness. :)

I laughed so hard at the new pic on your blog. OMG -- just look at his expression! Hahahahahahaha!!
