Day: March 18, 2011

Jogging Commute

March 18, 2011 by gracefulfitness 7 Comments

How do you fit exercise into a busy day?

Plan and prioritize!

Last night Tate and I talked about making exercise a priority today, despite seeing patients at the clinic from 7:45am-6:15pm, and so we set forth making plans to move.

First order of attack, we walked the morning commute, coffee in hand.  1.6 miles and fresh air? Check.

Tate even did a little resistance training on the way by carrying a backpack full of our running shoes and clothes.  Phase Two of our plan involves a 3.5 mile jog home on our lunch break.

After a quick shower and lunch we’ll bike back to work, Phase Three A.

Biking between home and the clinic actually takes the same amount of time as driving so it’s really a no brainer.  Plus I LOVE the feeling of biking, it’s like flying when you cruise down one of Cville famous hills.

I am most looking forward to Phase Three B, which involves an after-work bike ride to have drinks with some girl-friends.  It’s supposed to hit upper 70’s here today and I know a little social hour on the porch will start my weekend off just right.

On the topic of starting the weekend off right, I have gotten some requests from local readers to add a weekend Core Four class.

How do you fit exercise into a busy day?

Even if you don’t have time to run at lunch or can’t walk to work, remember that every little bit counts!  There are always work jacks…
