Week 2, Day 3.1 and 3.2 and Week 3 Exhaustion Test

Saturday:

I took a quiet day off yesterday to spend with my boys (well, 2 of them at least) and I decided to take a break from my workouts as well. But today I was back on track! My schedule had Saturday as a rest day, but I decided to do the 30 minute easy run from the day before since I had missed it. Overall, I did 35 minutes on the treadmill before I did my circuit. It was a good day!

Dips: 37, 42, 37, 37, Max

Crunches: 45, 50, 45, 45, Max

Push ups: 23, 28, 23, 23, Max

My max sets were as follows: Dips – 55, Crunches – 70, and Push ups – 33

Sunday:

On the schedule today was either 120 minutes of running or 12 miles of running. I took the opportunity to sleep in as we only had one child in the house again. By the time I got moving it was time to get ready to go to Sunday lunch at Mom and Dad’s. After lunch A, Dad, and I went for a bike ride. A kept up until the clubhouse then we had him turn around so we could do the rest of the loop on our own at a decent speed. We went about 3.5 miles and it felt good! The rest of the afternoon and early evening were going to be crazy – B was supposed to have soccer at 3:00, scouts at 4:30, and baseball at 5:00 and possibly 6:30. We got an e-mail last night stating the baseball game was moved from 5:00 until 3:00 so B had to decide which game he wanted to play. He ADORES baseball so it was a no-brainer for him! If the team won at 3:00 they had to play again at 4:30. Guess what? They won! Which made for a long afternoon at the ball field that got progressively colder – good thing I was wearing two pairs of pants, two sweaters/jackets, and had a blanket with me! After the second game was over B and I ran the short distance to the scout hut so he could attend part of the meeting. While they were still meeting I ran home to finish up my workout for the day. Since I had done just over 20 minutes on the bike and about a mile running after ball I decided to do 90 minutes on the elliptical. I also did the exhaustion test tonight for all three – push ups, dips, and crunches. I was able to do 32 push ups, 60 dips, and 74 push ups in the exhaustion test. This will put me on Week 5 Column 1 for push ups and Week 5 Column 3 for dips and crunches for next week.
