This morning we had our first workshop of the four (one more tomorrow evening and then two next week). Our topic is "Healthy Lunchboxes" and everything went well! But being busy preparing for it has kept me from blogging and keeping up with everyone else's blogs, so sorry for that.
I did do something completely out of character for me today, though. Normally, after a Wednesday morning workshop I am just so pooped from all the goings-on, that I kind of collapse in the afternoon. But today, after the kids and I had lunch, I was actually kind of itchy to get some exercise. So I asked them if they minded if I went to the gym for an hour (it was snowing outside) - of course, they're teenagers, so they definitely didn't mind!
And so I went to the gym on a Wednesday afternoon - which I have never done, because I have always been at home with my kids. The funny thing is, I didn't see anyone I knew - all the people were completely new to me. But on the up side, it was pretty dead there and I felt like I kind of had the place to myself. In a strange way, it felt like an entirely different gym - except of course that I got my favorite treadmill - creature of habit that I am!
I did my weights and interval run I was supposed to do yesterday but didn't get around to because I was so busy getting ready for the workshop and it felt so great! I am really glad I went because I know that it will make me feel more relaxed and sleep better tonight. And then tomorrow my plan is to run my fartlek outside, since it's supposed to be warmer, and then get everything ready for the next workshop.
Now it's time to go pick up the kids from badminton and swimming - they get their exercise and I got mine!

It's funny how the crowd changes. I have my favorite treadmill too.
Glad to hear that your workshop went well. What are they for and who are you giving them to?
Sometimes breaking the pattern is a nice change in our every day routine. I'm very proud of you that you went to the gym instead of sitting on the couch yesterday.
It snowed yesterday evening here but because it was above 0 it turned into rain and this morning it was all gone (gladly!)
Glad to hear your workshop went so well!
Change is good for the Soul.... I have the best workouts when I decide at the spur of the moment to train...and its not planned way way ahead.
I also have my favorite treadmill, and most times am able to get it as well...:)
Its snowing here now ( Thursday morning )
I’m really busy at work and find time for blogging and reading blogs very hard to find. Sounds like your afternoon was just right.
I would not worry about taking time off from blogging. We all get busy.
It is funny how gyms change depending on time of day.I notice that mornings at my gym bring in hard core crowd, working super hard. A few times I went before lunch and the gym was filled with ladies who did not seem to get their hair too messed up before their lunch dates.
