Weekly Goals - (Mar 9 - 15)

Monday: Swim (2000 m)* Push-up challenge Run 15, Walk 2, Run 15 Tuesday: Spin (30min) Core (30 min) Wednesday: Swim Spin (1 hour) maybe Push-up Challenge Run 20, walk 2, Run 10 Thursday: Spin (30 min) Core (30 min) ** Friday: Swim Spin (1hour) Push-Up Challenge Run 25 (this will be my first run w/out walk breaks) Saturday: OFF Sunday: Run 30 *Monday swim - Ambitious gave me a bunch of swim workouts which I absolutely love! Thanks Ambitious!! I started using them last week and they are perfect! Today I tried one of those workouts from swimplan and it was definitely different from what I am used to. There were two new drills I have never done before: Streamline kicking and Single Arm stroke. Pretty cool. I don't know if I screwed up my initial test though because I whipped through this workout in about 35 minutes - and I even took longer breaks (C'mon 10 sec after streamline kicking - I must be out of swimming shape?) So I did a second set of the drills at the end and added about 200 meters to the cooldown. Pretty good workout. Next time I'll ask for a longer workout and see what happens. I usually do about 2000 in an hour and thats with breaks - especially if I run into the girlfreinds. **My usual awesome Yoga instructor is a very lucky girl and is down in AZ for Mariners Spring Training - lucky bitch! So no Yoga this week :(. Her sub is a woman who has no concept of fluid movents. Up and then down, up then down, abrupt changes constantly. Not cool. I tried her once and that was it. No thanks. I'll sub a spin, but hopefully back to Yoga next week. Happy Monday!! (by the way I did in fact fail that accounting test I spend hours studying for 46%. WooHoo. The highest grade was a 74%)

OH NO, I'm so sorry about the test. That's very frustrating. Way to go on the swim, that's good stuff.

Yay...glad you liked the swim workouts. I'm hittin' the pool on wed and fri...I must try the swimplan workouts.

Great workout plans. I love the variety.

Boo about your test - was there a great curve? I think for a lot of our tests they have to curve or everyone would fail.
