Have you ever had a stretch of time when you just did too much?
That was me this labour day weekend–during, before, and after.
Friday, I walked to the Arboretum and back for a welcoming lunch for our entering first year President’s and Chancellor’s Scholars and their families. Saturday, we had a back to school party in the backyard, and Sunday we had a birthday party in the backyard. (Each day I met my step goal and did double the number of flights of steps I have set as my goal.) Monday I had a nice long walk with Susan and Cheddar, cleaned up the house after the parties, and then went on a birthday bike ride that was long and gravelly and speedy (to avoid getting stuck out after dark.)
All fine, right?
Except that Tuesday morning isn’t a regular work morning. It’s personal training time.
We did:
3 sets of abs– plank tap + leg lowering
Sled push and pull + strict press and push press
Chest press + goblet squat
Triceps overhead press
So much stretching.
And then I went from the gym to the Induction of Scholars, more walking and standing in my academic regalia.
Here’s what my Garmin told me (above).
Here’s what happened (below).
Yawn!
Luckily I worked from home this morning so the late start to my day didn’t throw too much off. Here’s hoping for a more reasonably balanced rest of the week.
