Weekly Rundown- Tampa!!!
Woohoo! This week was our now-annual trip to Tampa for FMEA (Florida Music Educator’s Association, otherwise known as All-State.) My daughter was playing in the band, my husband attended professional development seminars, and my son and I were along for the ride. Workouts continued to be minimal- I’ll get back on track next week. Thanks as always to Kim and Deborah for hosting the Weekly Rundown- let’s get into it! Sunday Since my strength training was sketchy last week, I vowed to do SOMETHING on this day, and I did- my hip stability exercises. Better than nothing! Monday 4 mile run to start the day. It was the last day of winter break, so I got to run in the daylight once again, woohoo! Tuesday UGH. School started again, which meant getting up at 5:30. That was painful. I did an upper body workout and the Caroline Girvan deadbugs. Wednesday 12 mile long run! I ran partially on the road and partially on trails. Good run! It was cold though- in the 40s when I started, which accounts for the odd attire. I wore a hat and gloves, and long sleeve zippered sweatshirt. I eventually unzipped but kept the hat on for most of the time. In the afternoon, we left for Tampa! Glad I got that run in before sitting in the car for four hours. Thursday No workouts! This was a super busy day, and- it’s a long story, which I went into in my last post, which was a whine-fest- but I had to drive my daughter to and from her rehearsals (in other years it was a short walk from our hotel.) I did do a lot of walking, so it was a good day. Friday Again, it was an early day and I had to drive my daughter to her rehearsal. Since the Riverwalk was not a great option for running, I took it to the hotel gym. The treadmills were a little too smart for me, and I didn’t have time to figure out how to set them the way I wanted, so I just went by time. I did ten minutes of walking, 3 mph at a 12% incline, and then ran for 30 minutes at a 1% incline. Done! Saturday The past two years, there was an FMEA 3K race, but they didn’t have it this year (not sure why.) I decided to run my own 3K on the treadmill! I figured out how to program it for a 6K workout. I warmed up for 2K, ran a 3K “race” and then cooled down for the final kilometer. The only thing is, after all these years I still can’t convert kilometers to miles, so I didn’t know how to set my pace. I did run the 3K at a “hard for me” pace, and increased it a bit at the end for a final kick. I thought I would get my stats from my Garmin, but failed to realize I needed to calibrate it for treadmill running. Technology fail! Or, me fail. If I had had more time I could have figured everything out… I did have a good workout though, and finished with a little core work. My daughter’s concert was at night, and then we drove home. Oof- very late night. Sunday Back to reality-sigh. Some sort of strength work must happen today! How was your week? Do you keep up your workout schedule while on vacation?
