Notes:
- Monday night’s strength workout was fun! We used BOSUs, which I usually use with a weight, but this time I used them as the weight (and on the floor from time to time), and thought it was fun to do something different. Hopefully my workouts don’t feel as repetitive to my students as they sometimes do to me. I try to freshen things up without making crazy complicated moves, but I feel stale sometimes.
- Swimming in the outdoor pool is so much more enjoyable than indoor! Unfortunately, I swam in it on the last day it’s open for the season, and the indoor pool I go to is still closed until September 15.
- We traveled to Kansas City this weekend, and I chose sleep over getting longer workouts in. I’m looking forward to being home more in September, and working out more. I feel off when I don’t. (But am grateful for anything I get in!)

Swimming outside is the best. I’m starting next week as the college I’m taking classes at has a lovely outdoor pool wheee!! 🙂
If you are choosing sleep its because you need it, you are not short on will power 🙂
Awesome!!!! That is going to be such a treat.
Oh yes, it totally is! The people I was with choose to stay out late Saturday, and I didn’t want to force myself to get up early just to get miles in. I will probably always have that feeling of “I should have run this morning!” though!
