Busy Week!

Yesterday was a great day! I finally finished the thatching of the yard and I have the blisters to prove it. I am very proud of myself. Last year Tim helped, but this year I wanted to get all the exercise myself! It is now ready for fertilizer and mowing. It will be green in no time.

After yard work, I had Pilate's and then pump. The leader said I should go lower on my squats, so I tried that and YOWSER, that worked. Then I had packed myself a little lunch to eat while I drove to the store. I had to do big shopping for the week. Now that we are eating so much better it requires more shopping time! I wish Denver had better produce.

I came home and put everything away, marinated dinner and then went for a run!!! I LOVED it! On Tuesdays and Thursday for the 8K training, I have to run for 30 - 45 minutes. I decided to run on the trail those days and save the neighborhood for distance runs on Saturdays. I was so excited when I got to the county line, because the marked the distance!!! I just need to figure out how far it is to the county line. Any ideas for that???

So I ran to the one mile marker and back home. I am thinking it was well over three miles, but don't know for sure. I do know that I ran from the one mile mark to the zero mile mark in 10 minutes and 24 seconds....WHICH IS AWESOME!!!!

Then I came home, stretched, took a shower, and then Tim and I went to the driving range to hit some balls. After that we made a yummy dinner of marinated steak, cous cous with peas, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and corn. We finished with a tiny bit of ice cream while we watched The Big Break. I am SO glad that Kelly went home. I am sure he is a nice guy and all, but he came across as very condescending to women. I still want to know what he thinks women hit a 6 iron. LOL!

All in all, I had a very active day:
1 Hour Yard Work
1 Hour Pilate's
1 Hour Pump
39 min 20 sec Run
1 Hour Driving Range

My HRM said in the 39 minute run that my average was 149 and I burned 322 calories.
But the % always said 77 - 84% max HR. So is that good??? Or too low???
