the pocket schedule

ever since camp started I feel like I've totally abandoned my exercise routine. I was going to be so good this summer, too. I had it all mapped out (come and look at the schedule on my fridge, or for your convenience I have the updated pocket version just waiting to be laminated for your easy perusal). It went something like this:

monday:
AM swimteam (fairmont)
PM ride

tuesday:
AM run
(ride to the train and take it up... or just ride to work)
PM yoga

wednesday:
AM ride (to work)
PM swimteam (steiner)

thursday:
AM run
(ride to the train and take it up... or just ride to work)
PM yoga

friday:
AM ride (to work)

saturday:
AM ride or run

sunday:
rest

well, I've been doing my yoga diligently (I did pay for it, after all), but not so much the other things. I am a slacker! I've ridden my bike to work probably all of one time in the last few weeks. I haven't been running (well, except for the mud run, of course. more details and a race report to come). swimteam? haven't done that in over a month!

today after work I went over to steiner to have my own swimteam. I felt I needed to get back in the pool and see if I still had it in me before joining the real team again. it felt good to be back in the water (mostly because it was one-hundred degrees outside) even though my body was having a hard time remembering just what it was it was supposed to be doing. I didn't last too long. that's why I go to masters swimteam--it forces me to do an actual, effective workout. I also didn't reapply the sunscreen, so I didn't want to do too much skin damage. a short little thirty minute pool workout was good enough.

so stay tuned to see if the schedule is put into effect any time soon. . .
