Spring Yard Work Means Fewer Miles


Spring has definitely 'sprung' here at home and that means lots of yard work. And, since there are only so many hours in the day, that translates to fewer miles. But that's OK because I am looking at my yard work as a good form of cross-training! I've been digging, transplanting and pruning. That all translates to exercise. And quite frankly, I've been completely exhausted in the evenings so I think that is a good sign that I am getting a decent workout.

I logged just under 26 miles this past week – that's about 8 fewer miles than what I've been averaging over the past couple of months. But, I did manage to return to my interval training on the treadmill on Thursday – that's my first time since returning from vacation in Turks and Caicos and it felt really good!

I did not get a long run in so I plan to get to the gym each weekday morning this coming week. My plan is to hit 30 miles this week.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring!
John
