Despite going to bed late, we got up early (before 6AM) to join some others for our first group ride on our bikes! I was nervous but also excited. It was a 15-mile loop we could do once, twice, or even three times.
Most importantly, I was excited to meet with other like-minded people. These were individuals in Michael's running group but they're the select few who also swim AND bike. I was so excited to meet them.
Unfortunately this happened on the way -
Yup, a flat tire. For the first time ever, I actually BLEW a tire. It went from fine to flat in seconds and we heard it. Crazy!
We have roadside assistance which was great b/c they towed it to the tire store where we bought the tires and we also bought the warranty. They put a brand new tire on it for only $10 and the tow was free too! Jam!
Unfortunately, the whole ordeal took about 3 hours so no bike ride for us.
I'm happy to report that today was still a SUPER PRODUCTIVE day. I can honestly say I accomplished everything I hoped to.
1. We meal planned, grocery shopped and prepped.
2. I cooked dinner tonight!
3. I ate a healthy snack of mozzarella cheese, grape tomato, cucumber and pesto.
4. I worked out (see below)
5. I took the dogs for a walk
6. I cleaned, put away laundry, picked up the backyard, wiped down the kitchen, etc. I always like starting the week with a picked up house.
7. I took a nap (I mean, I did get up before 6 :P )
8. I planned my workouts for the whole week
9. I took all the things I want to get done this week and added them as to-do's on my calendar so I have an idea of which day I'm hoping to accomplish each one.
I'm feeling great!
Here's the workout I did tonight, just a leg strengthening workout:
Back Squat on smith machine
60# 4 rounds, 8 reps each (hard!)
Dumbbell deadlifts
2-20#ers 2 sets of 10 reps and
2-25#ers 2 sets of 8 reps
***Can and will go heavier next time
Walking lunges
40# bar, 4 sets of 8 reps each leg
Leg extension
70#, 4 sets of 8 reps held the last 4 in the last round

Boom! Love it! I love that even when things go wonky you can still get a ton done and have a great day. This is awesome.
