We only have one more week of 2009, where did it go? Hopefully it was a good year for you and you’ve begun reflecting on 2009 and looking forward to 2010. That is the topic for another post, this is just a look back at the week that was.
It started out really well, since I didn’t have to go to work! Monday was nice and relaxing. Vegging out and catching up on e-mail and other stuff on the computer. I did make it to the gym and the elliptical and weight machines. It is a different feel in the middle of the day. It is really funny to see the old women and some men dressed up in nice clothes but lifting weights or using the elliptical. 30 minutes and 2.9 miles.
Tuesday I hit the pool and did 10 x 50 yards with 45 seconds in between. I found this swimming workout for beginner triathletes. I’m still not planning on doing a tri, but I thought it would give me some motivation and something to actually focus on in the pool, instead of just swimming. I also found this 9 Good Reasons Why You Should Get in the Pool. I actually started feeling sick on Tuesday, mostly just sinus related. So I didn’t do anything else until repeating the swim workout on Saturday. Unless of course you count shoveling at least 3 times for the 9.8 official inches of snow we got that doesn’t really count the icy mix that ended the Christmas storm covering 3 or 4 days. So I got quite a workout! Not being up and down on my feet all day has really helped my foot heal.
We had a great Christmas by ourselves. While it is nice not to have the stress of travelling, it is really weird and hard not to be with family on Christmas. Thanks to Skype we were able to video chat with some of the family and that made it better.
