Midweek check-in

I got myself into the pool on Monday! After taking a look and seeing that three lanes were wide open, there were not excuses left to skip it. It went well although I could definitely feel the time off. Just focused on doing three-hundreds with thirty second breaks. As much as I dread the water beforehand, I do enjoy it and love the tired feeling in my shoulders when I'm done. Tonight I worked out work stress in spin class.

I'm super excited about two opportunities this coming year: my first virtual quilting bee! There are a whopping 17 people in the project so there will be some months where two people will send out fabric. The other is an improvisational quilting project.

What's up for the week...

Tentative plan for the week...
Monday: Yoga class, then 1 hour swim or run
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Spin Class, then either Pilates or Bodyflow
Thursday: Pilates on a roll, then 6 mile run
Friday: Short run and then swim 30 minutes
Saturday: Pilates or Bodyflow and then Cycling
Sunday: 7 mile run

I am going to start swimming again this week... Even though it's scheduled twice, I'll be happy to get it in once. I do not heart swimming but I know I need to get back into it. As a group fitness junky, I am excited about the new classes on the winter schedule this week. Thursday a class called "pilates on a roll" which will somehow incorporate a foam roller.

In other news, I'm expanding the blog to include the sewing and crafting I've been up to. I'm hesitant to do so because of all the beautiful crafting blogs I have been watching for the past several months. At the same time, I'm looking forward to joining everyone.
