Notes:
- Ugh, this work week! My schedule got the best of me (I did my three hour commute Monday-Thursday) and I couldn’t get much in! I hope I don’t have another week like this for a while. I’m grateful I usually work from home and don’t typically waste so much time commuting (and feel so exhausted from it – how did I ever do it every workday for four years?!).
- Awesome part of the week(end) – my parents were in town to visit (ha ha, okay, with the purpose of helping fix the brakes on my car), and I got to work out with both of them! Mom and I played Wii tennis Thursday night and went to the indoor track together Friday afternoon, and Dad came to my Friday morning strength class and Saturday morning cycling class!
- I’m not sure what I was thinking, scheduling 3×1 miles repeats the week after a 5K! Oops! As it was, when I got to the indoor track to run, they told me it closed sooner than they did when I called to check closing time, so I was short on time to warm-up and get the entire workout in. After the second repeat was slower than the first, I took it as a sign to call it. Hope the next session is better! (Eating better would probably help, haha)
- Ahh! It’s already March!!! Time for February recap. I ran 156.1 miles in February, and (indoor) cycled 46.4 (less than January for both). I taught eight strength classes, two fitness boxing classes, and one cycling class (exact same numbers as January!). I did zero strength sessions on my own. And I did not snowshoe. Ha ha. Slacker month? Eh, let’s blame it on the week long vacation!
*Ha ha, my mom said this once by accident, instead of the “buttcrack of dawn,” and it kind of stuck.

I love your definition of a “slacker month”! I still think that it is so cool that you are teaching so much, and that your parents work out with you. I can’t believe that we are in March either. Crazy!
I think the problem is that I did too much in January, to make me feel that way! Ha ha ha!
I am enjoying teaching weekend classes! 🙂 We are starting a few fun outdoor weekend classes, now, too! 🙂
Where is this year going?!?!?!a
I’m sure it was really fun having your dad there for your classes! Looks like you had a pretty great week, even if your speed workout didn’t go as planed. Very smart move calling it when your body was telling you it wasn’t ready for those mile repeats! Have a good week, lovely!
Um, I don’t consider running 156 miles slacker. Wow! You had a heat wave on Sunday! Those are some cold temps! Brrr.
I think I only feel that way cause I did a bit more in January! LOL! I did have three less days in February. Yeah, that’s it 😉
It felt like a heat wave! And! I saw it might hit 40 here this week. WHUUUUUUUUUUT?!
I love “crack of butt light”!!! Your mom is too funny.
And, if this was a “slacker month”, then I aspire to be a slacker one day! You rock!
Ha ha ha. We were all dying when she said that!
Thanks 🙂
