the week’s end: week 3

I usually do my end of the week wrap up on Fridays, but this weekend I was gifted with a wonderful visit from my parents.  Which was WAY more fun than sitting down and typing out all my workouts from last week.  But I don’t want to forget… so here we go:

This week’s workouts:

Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: 3 miles & Jazzercise
Wednesday: 5 miles
Thursday: 7 miles & Jazzercise
Friday: 3 miles

Total: 22 miles

Hurray for a successful week!  I’m so happy that I was able to get a run in every day.  Seriously, that hasn’t happened in FOREVER.

So, the truth is that I don’t actually have access to a real-life Jazzercise class.  Which means that I cheated.  I still have all of my old dvd’s from when I was an instructor (that’s how we all learn the routines :) ).  I just pop one in and dance up a sweat.  Full Disclosure: this is no where near as much fun as being in an actual class with friends, but it’s the only way I can get in some good cross training.  Especially since it was still 100+ degrees every. single. day.

Random Thought: I just saw an ipad commercial where someone was using it in place of a cookbook.  I’ve always dreamed of my perfect kitchen with some sort of snap-in device where I could mount my ipad (which I currently don’t own…but assume that I will someday…).  I actually do most (if not all) my cooking with my laptop propped on a near by shelf with the recipe from my favorite food blog (101cookbooks.com) on display.  Someday this will be a disaster.  I’m sure of it.

    Ah! If you drop a computer in the soup, that WOULD be a disaster!

    Great job getting back into the running routine. You are really being consistent. Loved the confession on the DVDs. :)

  • I think you should invent that snap-on device. I might buy an ipad just to be able to clip into it.

    Great job on the workouts!!! My mom just got an iPad yesterday and I think she’d appreciate this device that you’re going to design.

    Nice running week! Just when I thought we were maybe getting some weather relief around here, I see high 90′s in the forecast again…ISHH! I use my phone in the kitchen with recipes pulled up on it and I’m always spilling crap on it. Handy little invention this would be!!

    a while back i saw a special on the “microsoft test-house” or hell maybe it was bill gate’s actual house… either way. they had a projector that shone down on the counter, and showed you the recipe. you could also touch the counter and tick off things as you added them. sooooooo cool. i feel ya’ on the “oh god, my laptop is going to end up in the oven one day” thing.
