An update from the beach

I haven’t been around much this week because I’m on vacation at the beach – and what a perfect week for it! It’s the hottest week we’ve had so far this week and my competing tan lines (from my running shirt, bikini and sundress) tell me that I’ve been getting some sun.

I’ve been a bit relaxed when it’s come to workouts – getting a solid one in every day but not quite the level I would have from home. But everything has been outdoors for the most part which is fantastic! Every morning I ride up a big hill to get the newspaper which is a great wake up then I usually either run or go for a good bike ride that day as well. Tuesday was a training day so I was back in the city for weight training with Devin (and my glutes are STILL sore!) but otherwise it’s all been outside. Today is another weight training day so I’ll pop into the local gym for a short workout but will go for a bike ride for the cardio. It’s a pretty nice way to spend the day!

I have my new workout program which has me doing a lot of climbing, good cardio (especially on the bike) and some speed work while I’m running – but less distance at the moment. I’m pretty excited to be working on that.

Off now to enjoy the sun…a few more days here and then it’s off to go to Caroline’s wedding! Then it will be back to life as normal. (or as normal as life ever is!) Stay tuned!
