I Wanna Run!

August 9, 2010 by gracefulfitness 1 Comment

Ah, Monday.

Well, Tate completely ROCKED his first triathlon on Saturday!  As usually he took the whole 28.5 miles of mountain biking, whitewater kayaking, and uphill running in stride.  He is an excellent athlete and next year he plans on actually training for the event.  Without training he squeezed in 2nd in his division!  I am so proud of him! He was only a wee bit sore on Sunday.

The before

The after (refueling and looking just a tiny bit tired!)

My niece spent the day with me and she was quite the little athlete herself!  She LOVES these jumpy things and they had 3 at the starting area.  She jumped for 7 hours!

The jumping was only interrupted by participating in the 2.5 block 8 and 9 year olds race.

Being around all of those athletes was really inspiring and I woke up Sunday morning excited to run.  I hadn’t run in three weeks so I was unsure at first how my body would handle it.  I ended up running 40 minutes with just a few one minute walking breaks and feeling great.  The neighborhood dogs came with me and, while I have no desire to have a dog of my own, I love running with dogs.  They always look so happy to be running!

The run got me thinking about my workouts for the week so I decided to set some goals for the next 7 days.

  • 4 runs
  • 5 yoga sessions
  • abs or arms every other day (starting with arms today)
  • 1 zumba class
  • 1 interval workout

Today is a yoga, arms, and maybe run day.

What are your exercise goals for the week?
