Notes:

• Ugh, this work week! My schedule got the best of me (I did my three hour commute Monday-Thursday) and I couldn’t get much in! I hope I don’t have another week like this for a while. I’m grateful I usually work from home and don’t typically waste so much time commuting (and feel so exhausted from it – how did I ever do it every workday for four years?!).
• Awesome part of the week(end) – my parents were in town to visit (ha ha, okay, with the purpose of helping fix the brakes on my car), and I got to work out with both of them! Mom and I played Wii tennis Thursday night and went to the indoor track together Friday afternoon, and Dad came to my Friday morning strength class and Saturday morning cycling class!
• I’m not sure what I was thinking, scheduling 3×1 miles repeats the week after a 5K! Oops! As it was, when I got to the indoor track to run, they told me it closed sooner than they did when I called to check closing time, so I was short on time to warm-up and get the entire workout in. After the second repeat was slower than the first, I took it as a sign to call it. Hope the next session is better! (Eating better would probably help, haha)
• Ahh! It’s already March!!! Time for February recap. I ran 156.1 miles in February, and (indoor) cycled 46.4 (less than January for both). I taught eight strength classes, two fitness boxing classes, and one cycling class (exact same numbers as January!). I did zero strength sessions on my own. And I did not snowshoe. Ha ha. Slacker month? Eh, let’s blame it on the week long vacation!

*Ha ha, my mom said this once by accident, instead of the “buttcrack of dawn,” and it kind of stuck.
