I Can Do Hard Things

I have a limited time to work out.  Tim earned this trip for work  and we have planned excursions with his co-workers that usually start early....then we are gone all day....then we have a company dinner at night.  So my working out time has been pushed to the back burner.  I'm trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise, so I'm forced to take it easy.  15 minutes on the elliptical and 15 min running.  Then off to the Amalfi Coast and Sorento (I've decided I want to move there some day).

My days are all messed up, but think this is the day US day.

30 minutes of running.  The treadmill was in kilometers, but I'm thinking it was 3 miles.  Ankle felt slightly better.  Today we went to the island if Sicely.  I ate too many canolis and gelato.

We have a day at sea, so I has all morning to work out.  I did 5 miles on the TM.  There is NO ventilation in the fitness center.  No fans.  And it is incredibley humid.  Holy sweat feast!!!!!! 

After the first run, I did 3x

10 push ups

16 plank rows

20 dips

I was swearing so profusely that I had a gigantic puddle under me.  The Europeans were looking at me weird.  Hubby came into the fitness center and I ran 2 more miles with him.  All the TV shows were in Italian.  But I was able to find one with English sub-titles.  

I felt good on the run.  Ankle didn't hurt at all.  I had it taped.  I stretched for a few minutes.  We'll see what tomorrow brings. 

They even had a foam roller.  Wow-that totally made my trip!  

Nothing...natta...pigged out on too much food!  We were in Croatia today.  Beyond beautiful!  

I had acupuncture done on my ankle last night.  I was too nervous to look at the needles! Verdict is still out on if it helped!

6 miles in the sauna (aka the fitness center).  Another day in Croatia.

I figured my ankle might need a rest after a few bigger mile days.  30 minutes on the elliptical.  We were in Slovenia today.  Unbelievabley gorgeous!  

My hubby asked me if I was feeling ready for Ogden.  NO! It is going to be a suffer feast!

Today is our last day on the boat. So I knew I had to get some sort of workout in!

2.3 miles on the fitness center TM. I couldn't handle the heat/humidity any more. Because it was early, I thought the track on top of the boat would be empty. It was and there was a wonderful breeze! Much better! Venice was extremely beautiful on this quiet morning!

Finished up 5 miles.

Hiked around Venice for 11 hours. Oh my feet hurt!
