Hey ya’ll! I’m back from NOLA and my internal clock is all outta whack. I got to Spring forward in NOLA only to return to a different time zone so I am all confused. I may be asleep under my desk on my lunch break.
First and foremost, my workouts this weekend were… uh… non-existent. I had these big plans to run and get to the YMCA while there and I was borderline obsessing about getting everything in. Then I landed in New Orleans and something happened. I was too excited to spend time with my family to get up at the crack and go for a run. I could have gone on the morning that the S.O. did, but sleep just felt so, so, so good. I guess I just got in the creole spirit and let the good times roll.
Monday – Swam 2,000 meters. I was feeling very sore from Sunday’s 70 mile ride so I cut it short and enjoyed some easy swimming.
Tuesday – Hit up track and had an awesome workout. I am loving track right now and the temperatures outside are really helping.
Wednesday – I got up early to watch an episode of True Detective on the trainer. I did some easy spinning but threw in a few one-leg drills to get my heart rate up.
Thursday – Since I was flying out Thursday night I wanted to get a quick five mile run in before I left. It was a nice way to start my day and get a workout in.
As for the rest of the week…
My nephew is obsessed with the S.O. |
District Donuts. Delicious. |
BUBBLES! |
My first nephew, Brother Bruiser. |
Voodoo Queen of NOLA, Marie Laveau’s resting place. Maybe. |
The S.O. suprised me with some fleur de lis earrings. Love. |
Bourbon Street. |
Sister time! |
Visiting Dad/Brother-in-law at work. |
Needless to say, I had a wonderful time in the Big Easy and I don’t feel too badly about skipping workouts. (Sorry Coach Steve!) I’m back at it this week and don’t have any more vacations planned that will allow for that much rest time so I think it was well worth it.
How was your weekend? Happy or sad to have sprung forward?
This looks like such a FUN and FAMILY FILLED vacation – so glad you enjoyed NOLA girlie!
Looks like a great weekend. Although I miss ya! I can't believe how big your nephew is getting!! He is adorable. 🙂
Glad you had a great weekend, love those earrings!
Losing that hour killed me, not so much Sunday but definitely today!
NOLA is so much fun! Glad you had fun there!
I wish the time change would happen on a Friday night/Saturday morning. That gives us two days to figure out whats up. Ill start the petition 🙂
I'm glad you had such a great trip, I loved all your posts. Earrings are gorgeous! I want to snuggle the nephew, so dang cute!
What a fun trip!!!
Sounds like a great trip and DO NOT feel bad about missing workouts. We all need weekends like this one you had in our lives, Ironman training or not! Soon enough you'll be deep in training and won't have a chance to skip any workouts!
I was glad to spring forward! I love that the sun goes down later. Although tomorrow's 5:30 a.m. wake-up call will be harsh. I might take it back tomorrow!
True Detective on the trainer? me too! 🙂
What a fun trip!
We did spring forward without incident and I'm glad it's finally back. I'd rather have the extra hour of sunlight in the evening, and it makes me feel like a hard core badass to get up before the sun – so that's easier now too.
I love True Detective. Mr. rUnladylike and I just watched the whole first season on demand in a week or two and loved it. I think you had a good week, and your body was clearly trying to tell you it needed some rest and relief 🙂 I believe that the athletes who are most successful and fulfilled are the ones who let life in and don't allow their training to make them miss those important moments. You are a rock star! xo
