I LOVE MONDAYS

I do LOVE Mondays. As a SAHM (stay at home mom), Mondays is my day to regroup, get everyone back on schedule and get my husband back at work. We didn't have a lot going on this weekend, so he wanted to do a few things around the house that WERE NOT on MY to do list. These included switching to SPRING clothes and putting away the winter stuff. Well, he managed to pull out all of his sweaters to go to the dry cleaners, pull the bins of summer stuff out of the attic, and ... yup, that's about it. Today after spinning I have clothes to drop off and buckets of stuff to hang or fold and put away. THANKS. For working folks, I liken this to someone sitting at your desk. No one likes their stuff to be messed with....

ANYWAY enough of domestic bliss. The weather is not yet cooperating to ride, so running was on the agenda Saturday. I had a great 5 + miler, which included intervals and (from the April edition of RUNNERS WORLD) plyometrics (aka skipping and jumping). By doing these drills, you can increase your speed by 8%! Anything to get me to go faster is worth trying, and my sisters and I all agreed that skipping is FUN.

Sunday I guarded at the pool from 7:30 - noon and then had a semi-bad lunch at a local pub with the family before I went back to the pool for "family swim". I tried to do some kicking, swimming, but I wouldn't really call it a workout. SO I have one RED BOX on the training schedule. Oh well.

The weather is supposed to be a little better this week, so maybe -- just maybe --- I'll be able to get a ride in. I have a TON to do at the house - general cleaning and yard work, but I think that will always be the case. For now, I'll focus on having a good spin, and eating a healthy diet today.
