Pretty good here!
Sorry for the missing blog post last night, I was elbow deep in cleaning and by the time I finished I was pooped. My in-laws are coming this weekend and I used it as the perfect opportunity to do a deep clean. I really don’t love cleaning and I realized it’s because my OCD completely shines through and it takes me forever because I try to wipe every dust particle from every baseboard and blind.
Anyhoo…
Yesterday I woke up early to attend a class on “Creating a Respectful Workplace”. It was actually quite interesting and I was astounded at the number of people who report cases of bulling at work. Yuck! After the class, I met up with the rest of my team for a meeting, then we headed back to our main rec center for an afternoon filled with work.
I hurried home, walked the dog, then started cleaning. Nearly three hours later I was sweaty and hungry, so threw together dinner in nearly 90-seconds.

This morning, after a good walk with the dog, I headed to the gym for some speedwork. This was a great one!
Quarter Mile Repeats
walk @ 4.5 for .10 miles
jog @ 6.0 for .15 miles
run @ 6.7 for .25 miles
run @ 7.5 for .25 miles
jog @ 6.3 for .25 miles
repeat last 1/2 mile, 7 times
jog @ 6.0 for .15 miles
walk @ 4.5 for .10 miles
Post run I did this core/abs routine two times through:
15 Pushups
25 Tuck-Ins
25 Bicycle Crunches
1-min Plank
25 Supermans
I felt fantastic when it was all said and done

After cleaning up, I enjoyed a gorgeous grapefruit (peeled and eaten like an orange).
We had a meeting then broke for lunch. I packed some of the leftover roasted red pepper/artichoke dip with chicken. The combo was delicious and totally filling.

I worked the afternoon away, then headed over to another rec center to coach boot camp…and it was a fun one. They worked in pairs/groups, but at their own pace. I even pulled out all the equipment: TRX, BOSUs, Bands, Gliders, Med Balls. The time sure flew by!
This evening Colin and I ran a few errands (Target for curtains) and stopped at Chipotle for dinner. I got a huge salad and am excited to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow
My next two days are filled with personal trainer and group fitness instructor interviews with demos, so wish me luck!
*TIP TIME*
Schedule a non-weekend day to do a chore or task you don’t like. This will help you enjoy your time off, but still encourage you to get things done.

Good luck with the interviews! Too bad I don’t live closer – maybe you’d be interviewing me
haha
I am bookmarking this workout and especially love the tip. Did you make the artichoke-pepper dip? Sounds delicious.
