Sometimes...

Sleep wins out.

Tuesday's workout: change into your swimsuit, pack your gym bag, realize your 2 year old needs a nap.. lay her down, lay down in your bed and take a 2 hour nap instead.

Soccer has returned

Oh girls.  My soccer team is back! Yay!!!!!  I can't even tell you how much joy this brings me.  My whole team hasn't been together in about 2 years, but miraculously we all are playing together again starting last night.  I first started playing with this team about 6 years ago and was the total outsider on the team.  I was the only one that didn't know everyone else, but my friend Mel, had me come and play with them once and then she moved to Denver so they let me take her spot.  It took me a couple of years to really feel like a part of the group, but now I love them.  They are such a great group of girls and I feel so lucky to have found them.  Last night was the beginning of the indoor season for us.  We had 2 games.  Yikes.  I haven't played 2 soccer games in a while.  I was worried.  The first game was a little rough, but luckily we pulled it out and were able to win.  The second team we played was a much better team and gave us a run for our money.  Thankfully we'd had that first game to warm up and remember how to play together again, and we played amazingly well that second game.  It was so much fun!  Oh how I love soccer.  I'm pretty sure I'll play until they stop playing.  So maybe when I'm 50?

Tomorrow I'm running the Top of Utah half! I'm just a little sore from 2 soccer games last night.  So wish me luck!

Swimming Kicks My Butt

Swam for 45 minutes.
Myriad of drills and lengths.
Myriad of strokes.
Longest freestyle stretch without stopping: 400 meters.
Took me 9:30min. So my time is a titch slower than in April, but within reach.

Realized it's been 6 months since I swam last. I was tired afterwards in the shower. Yes yes.

Tuesday's Workout

Bridgette man. She's an awesome workout buddy. If you thought I was a titch too motivated you two would be surprised during her workouts. I met up with her at the gym and this is what we did.

Warm up: 9:30 mile, plus 5 min warmup/cooldown
Chest Press 4 sets of 15
Inbetween sets did 4 sets of rotating push ups.
Leg Press 3 sets of 40 (first 20 full footed jump, 2nd 20 jumping and pushing off using just your heels)
Inbetween sets did 3 sets of lunges, 20 on each side. Last set were "jumping lunges" ooouch.
Triceps. Using a lat machine we pushed down with a flat hand and did 2 sets of 20.

THEN made our way over to Bridgette's Spin Class from HELL. She worked us til the cows came home. We had a set of sprints that were 45 second sprint, 15 second recovery for a total of 9 minutes. THEN we had to do a full on sprint for 3 minutes. Throw in everything else she does crazily for 60 minutes and I was dyyying by the end of the class. Didn't help that we'd just lifted our legs. Good good.
