Wednesday: Swim, Gilad, and Yoga

Today I was supposed to hike with the Bambino Brigade, (It is on my training schedule from Richard Baker even) but Ivan was just still sicky with stomach issues, and I was concerned about getting out on a hike and having to deal with vomit or worse. A trail vomit incident is where I draw the line. It is just not an option for me or my child. We vomit in the privacy of our own home.

For this reason, I had multiple cups of tea with my breakfast cereal and got in a Gilad workout and some yoga, both of which were great. Gilad, however, had standing abs today, instead of the crunch oriented ab-work that I expect from Gilad. It is probably great for me, but it is a lot about posture, and I never feel that I get quite the workout I want. It just doesn't seem as hard as crunch oriented abs. The yoga felt GREAT, and I do it a couple of times a week, but wish I did it more. In fact, our Lululemon show room does a free yoga class on Saturday mornings, and after the Boston Marathon, I may get in a few Saturdays of Yoga.

Now after Yoga, I ran Ivan to the doctor to get an H1N1 screenings. He is flu-less!!!! Then got back home to make a smoothie and head to swim.

I missed doing double swim today, BUT I need to cut back and it is fine that I only did one swim. This is what I am telling myself. Tonight's workout as follows:

It was a hard workout!!! Tomorrow I am doing a slow recovery run and then some yoga. Also, tomorrow is Ivan's fist haircut!!!! Will post many pics.
