Worked late, then it seemed to take forever to make it home. Ugh, traffic! This became an unscheduled rest day.

Tuesday – 2/14 –
I went into work late, because I had a dentist appointment in the morning. This resulted in working late again and I ended up in more traffic! WTH? Looks like another unscheduled rest day...but I did get to take my Valentines out for breakfast before my appointment!

| At least I came home to gorgeous flowers after fighting all that traffic! Thank you Hubby, my Sweetie! |
Wednesday, 2/15 – 2 miles & 3000 yd swim
This was the 2-mile “test run”. I also managed to get in that 3000 yds from Monday (finally), even though I really didn’t want to. This is my longest swim ever, so I am pretty darn proud! And, my times were consistent the entire time, so that’s just more to celebrate. Yippee!
Thursday, 2/16 – P90X, Shoulders and Arms
After the achiness from the run the day before, Coach and I decided to let the hip rest indefinitely. :-) Instead of trying to swim, bike or run, I did P90X. This workout incorporates weights to work out the shoulders, triceps and biceps…this is my favorite P90X workout.
Friday, 2/17 – Rest
I had a hair appointment after work, which meant I ended up getting home late and did not work out. But, I did get to hang out with the family!
Saturday, 2/18 – NOTHING
I had every intention of doing P90X early in the morning before the kids were awake, but I woke up at 2 am for some unknown reason and couldn’t go back to sleep. Then, just as I was finally drifting off to sleep, I woke to the sounds of some scared kids thanks to the rain, thunder and lightening. It took another hour to get everyone settled down and back to sleep. Then, around 6 am, the Hubby was called into work. Let's just say that the workout ended up getting pushed way down on the priority list! This was definitely a Mommy/Kids day - I carted the kids to Walmart, then to McDonalds's for lunch (I know, I know - the 2nd time in one week...this does NOT happen often!) and then the grocery store. By the time we made it home, it was almost 4 pm. The weather was still crappy, so we built a huge tent out of old sheets in the living room....the kids enjoyed it so much that they slept there on Saturday night!
Sunday, 2/19 – P90X, Chest and Back, plus core
More pull ups and push ups! And, I added in some ab and core work that I didn’t think would bother the hip. I would normally do Ab Ripper X, but I was worried that some of the exercises would bother the hip (i.e. In & Outs, Crunchy Frogs, bicycles, etc.)…so I improvised and I think I managed to get a great workout!
How was your weekend? Did you get in some good workouts, or get rained out?

Sounds like it was a good week to just get some extra rest in. Sometimes we just need it and it just works out that way. Great job on 3000 in the pool!! That's quite a swim workout!
That's an awesome swim, way to go! I need to make time for the pool again, as well as stretching and yoga... there's not enough time in the week to fit it all in!
