Workout Wednesday is going to be brief today, for two reasons. One, Apple has been sick for a couple of days and I am pooped and two it is ridiculously beautiful outside.
This week was pretty good, despite Apple being sick, which really drains me. I managed two 5km runs, and missed the 30 minute mark by 5 seconds. I pushed myself, but had a pain in my ankle and had to slow it down for a couple of minutes. I also got in two good weight training sessions. I did two long programs, which works out to 40 minutes of weights and strength exercises.
Today’s tip: Get outside!
No need for photos today, strap on your running shoes, put your kids in the stroller and go for a walk. It is absolutely beautiful out there. And tomorrow is supposed to rain, so get out while you can stay dry.
If you are at work, take that 15 minute break that you never take and go for a quick walk outside, you won’t be sorry. The fresh air and warm sun on your face will rejuvenate you for the rest of the day.
What are you waiting for? Go!

It IS beautiful outside! My kids went for an early morning walk with my mom today, and I managed to get a short walk in at lunchtime. (Does it count that I walked to a restaurant to get my food? ;))
I really is beautiful out today. Am I crazy to think that spring is really, truly here? Do you still get freak May snowstorms here in Ottawa? This is our first year out here and it seems too good to be true.
I took your orders – we went to the park and for a huge long walk!! I’m going to walk or jog with the dog after supper too (although it’s much cooler now).
Amy – not usually the freak snowstorms here. I used to get them in Halifax all the time – it was not uncommon for snow in April or May out there, but spring in Ottawa is typically GORGEOUS and warm all through April and May.
What am I waiting for? THE 3 INCHES OF SNOW THAT FEEL TODAY TO MELT.
Ahem.
sorry.
I’ll be okay. Really.
*crying into her vodka*
I’m so excited that the spring-ish weather is finally here!
I got a new jogging stroller for my birthday and I can’t wait to get some really good use out of it.
Now, if only the rain would stop…
