My 2 nephews decided they wanted to try skiing today, so I got to be taxi service because I had a 3 year old tag-along and couldn't join in the skiing fun. Since they were only doing a half day it wasn't worth driving home across town just to go back and pick them up, so I figured I'd go to Cottonwood Heights rec center and put Adam in chuck a child and get a good 2 hour workout in.
I did 6 miles on the TM to start in 50 min, then did some on the track...17.5 laps/mile was a little tough to swallow, but the older couple walking (one with a walker) around the track were SO impressed with how fast I was running and that I'd done TWO miles SO quickly, it made me feel like an Olympian :)
Then I hit the weight room, but decided to do RAD's version of HIIT intervals. I did a weight routine arms/core and then did a 1/2 mile on the TM at 8.5mph (7:00 pace) - it wasn't as easy as it should've been! But, I was happy I'd actually done it. I repeated the set 3X then after the last 1/2 mile repeat I did a cool down 1/2 mile to round things out to 10 miles for the day.
Saw a couple of old co-workers at Cottonwood Heights, always good to see people you haven't seen in years. I then picked up the boys and after getting home and cleaned up went to my nephews graduation. It was another great day! But, 2 teenagers have worn me out. You think it's hard keeping up with little ones, teenagers have nothing on 3 year olds...at least 3 year olds take naps!
