The holiday season is always a busy time. It's hard to find a balance between gathering and training. And if you are sick, there is even less time to train! Check out the video below to see how I balance it all.
Monday, Dec 16 - Day 8:
Still sick, so I didn't do much other than rest.
Tuesday, Dec 17 - Day 9:
Strength training at lunch, then Bike Doctor: 1.5 hours of sweet spot ride in the evening. Still recovering, so taking all of it easy.
Wednesday, Dec 18- Day 10:
I didn't make it to training today. My car needed an oil change, and I needed it picked up during lunchtime. After work, the pups went for a swimming lesson. (Yep, my dogs go for swimming lessons, haha)
Thursday, Dec 19 - Day 11:
I'm feeling really grateful today! I taught a yoga class at the short-term mental health stay unit at the Royal University Hospital. When I was leaving, the snow was falling, and it was magical✨
Ending the day with 45mins VO2 Max bike before coaching the same workout and yoga to a great group of athletes.
Friday, Dec 20 - Day 12:
I did a strength workout before a swim speed and paddle workout. Three times the following; 3x50m fast followed by 150m steady, and then 3x50m steady with paddles. I got new paddles, and wow, that was that a workout! I really feel it with these paddles!
Saturday, Dec 21 - Day 13:
Saturday always feels like a mini multi-sport event for me. I taught a morning yoga class and then coached a private swim lesson (with an amazingly fast-learning 8-year-old!). The plan afterward was to go to the YMCA and see what my body felt like doing. Today, it was a 1000m steady swim followed by a 36-minute steady run on the treadmill.
Sunday, Dec 15 - Day 14:
Steady 1 hr bike ride. I found out there is a new season of Queer Eye on Netflix!
There are 33 weeks to go till Ironman Ottawa. Feeling pretty good about this.
Until then,
Fill your jar with the things you love to do!
And keep being you, the world needs more you!🌻❤️
