Day 27 = Cardio XT = Ultimate XT
I went for a 1K run with my daughter yesterday and she did
fantastic. We started off with a short
walk and then began to run. About half
way through, she said she wanted to walk but she kept running and I was there
to cheer her on. When we were nearing
the 1K mark she really wanted to stop and walk again, but she’s a trooper and
she made it to the finish. Then we
walked, but then she spotted a shadow over the path ahead and said “that was
the finish line”, and wanted to race me across the line. She won! LOL
After dropping her off back home, I went out and went for a
5K run through the trails. It seemed
like a very long 5 kilometers, it was full of hills and I had some obstacles to
get through. Trees had fallen from the
ice storm a few weeks back and they were still blocking some of the paths along
the trail. Some I went around, and
others I climbed over and under the branches.
It felt great to get out and run the trails again. This was near the beginning of my run…
I had about 5 or more hills like this one throughout the
run.
So I ran a total of 6 KM and felt
great.
BUT…
…when I got back home, I wasn’t feeling like doing another
workout. I wanted to get on with my day
and that included going to the hospital to visit my Dad. We had some other things to do yesterday, so
I jumped in the shower, toweled off, put on a spring dress and we were soon out
the door. The weather was gorgeous and
I was SO glad that I could finally wear some warmer weather clothes.
We did our errands and then made our way to the hospital to
see my Dad. It was great to see him, but
at the same time, it was hard to see him like that. My Dad has always been a very active man, but
over the past few years, he has slowed down almost too much. I know that it’s partly to do with his age,
partly to do with some of the medication that the doctor has put him on and
partly to do with proper nutrition. A
balance of everything is needed for my Dad to get back on track. I hope.
After getting back home to Waterloo , it was late and we still hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I decided to I would take away my Rest Day (Sunday) and do the Cardio
XT and Ultimate Abs XT workouts (today), Sunday.
I will be posting another post shortly.
Until then…Stay Strong!
