weekly work out 6;19;17

Hi everyone hope you all had a good week and got in what you hoped to do. I almost did all of mine but I did not do my bike today. It has been a very emotional few days for me. Lots of tears. My best friend lost his father thursday morning and thursday night is brother was killed on his motorcycle. I think today everything just caught up to me and I felt like I could not do a thing.

good luck on the race. let me know how it goes. want to hear all about it. you can do it

We had a high school graduation for our oldest daughter last week, so the whole schedule was a bit off. And this week is complicated by college orientation. But this week:

Monday Fencing 3.0 hours tonight

Tuesday - TRX class 1 hour and some weights

Wednesday - Normally, I'd fence for 2 hours - I will look to see if a fencing club in Pittsburgh has open bouting, but not sure I'll find that. Hoping to get to the gym, but have to leave at noon to drive to Pittsburgh (5 hours) for daughter's college orientation. Maybe a workout at the hotel gym when we get in

Thursday - Miles and miles and miles of walking on campus related stuff. (and maybe a workout at the hotel)

Friday - Miles and miles of walking and a 5 hour drive home

Saturday - Heavy duty Gym day

Sunday - Color Run 5k - it's the first and last 5k I'll do - I've found out in this process I HATE running. (I have bad knees, so it really hurts.)

running is not for everyone. good luck on your race. If need walk a lot of it.

Monday: 30-minute interval run

Tuesday: Upper body w/ Trainer

Wed: 30-minute interval run

Thursday: Lower Body w/ Trainer

Friday: Rest Day, having minor surgery

(and the weekend is probably not going to have a lot because of that either).

Best wishes for a speedy recovery on your procedure. Treat your body well.

To all of you that run, wow. I did a 5k today and kept wondering when the fun was that all of the runners says happens. I was miserable for all 3.1 miles. Despite unicorns throwing colored powder at me.

Y'all can keep your running. The next time I run is going to be if something deadly is chasing me.

you tried it and found that is not your thing. Just find something that you enjoy. Be proud that you finished it

I am proud I finished. I did it because I committed to my family I would do the run with them. I fence 4-5 hours a week and work with a trainer as well. Thanks.
