Summer Camp
The good news for me is that I have a responsible, on-the-ball husband who actually did back up all of our pictures.
Yeah, he’s awesome.
We complement each other well, I’m good in the garden and the kitchen and reasonably tidy-he’s very handy with tools and patient with electronics.
The bad news for all of us is that, as of now, I’m not set up to post pictures on the blog. 🙁 Luckily we have a work laptop that we’re using to get our internet fix but I will have to wait until we get the verdict on the Mac to figure out the next step.
Man, what a great weekend I just had!
I feel like I just finished summer camp! Tate and I have hooked into this amazing group of friends here in Charlottesville and we spent most of the last 5 days swimming, eating, going to see Arcade Fire, berry picking, camping, running, and chilling together. We would disperse for work and sleeping but come the weekend it was full-on. We met up Saturday morning for a group run followed by a lake swim and brunch; now that’s the way to kick off the weekend! Saturday night we camped and there was more swimming and group runs to be had. I can only hope that our weekend was indicative of the summer we will have!
Last week was very active but I fell a little short on my exercise goals. The heat and (whoops) a wee bit of a hangover definitely contributed to missing a run and two yoga practices. I love reading your goals and achievements, it really does help motivate me to get moving and commit to my workouts, keep ’em coming!
What I learned last week is that I need to plan exercise early into my day. My days are so open and flexible for the most part that usually I know what workout I want to accomplish for the day but let the timing of it play out organically. It turns out the when the days are hot and there’s lots of fun activities going on at night this is not the most successful strategy. This week I will be set certain times of the day, morning when possible, to complete my workouts so they won’t get pushed later and later until they get pushed to the next day.
This week I’m setting the same goals and this time they will be met!
- 4 runs-15 miles total
- 5 yoga practices-minimum 20 minutes each
- 2 Pilates workouts-minimum 15 minutes each
- 3 strength workouts-minimum 25 minutes each
