Week 8-On the hunt for a pool in Omaha

This week I traveled for work (again)! After babysiting for my sister, I came back to Orange County and got on a plane to Omaha. I landed there about 11:30pm and checked in. At the check in counter, I asked the front desk person what the hotel pool was like... let's just say it was more of a jacuzzi. Onto Plan B... find a 24 hour fitness in the area and take a cab. Well, that would have worked out fine, except when I called to check that a water aerobics class wasn't planned when I was there, I was informed the pool was "down" for an hour or so. Needless to say, I tried! But I feel guilt because I didn't work out on Monday, and when I went to the "$5" gym that was down the street (should have asked more questions at the front desk) for my cycle/run workout Tuesday, I walked past their beautiful 25 meter pool. Darn!

Regardless, I managed to get all but one workout in this week. I am proud of this because we traveled 4 days during the trip.

This week's accomplishments:
Mon: Nothing but a boring story
Tues: Bike (70 min) & Run (15 min)
Wed: Swam (45 min)
Thur: Ran (50 min)
Fri: off
Sat: Ran (69 min)
Sun: Bike (2:16 min) & Ran (15 min) & Core class (50 min)
Nutrition: SUCKED! I have some issues that are limited to the female gender so it threw my cravings off. Plus, traveling for work (at a fast food company, mind you), doesn't help your eating habits. I'd like to concentrate on why it is I overeat. Focus on my feelings and if I'm tired. See if there is a pattern.
Heartrate: Been kind of high this week and I wonder if I'm tired or getting sick or fighting an injury.

This week's goals:
Mon: Swim (60 min)
Tues: Bike (70 min) & Run (20-30 min)
Wed: Swim (60 min) & Bike (60-90 min)
Thur: Run (60-80 run) & Core Class (50 min)
Fri: Optional off or run (30), bike (60) or swim (60)
Sat: Run (80-100 min) & Bike (60-90 min) & yoga
Sun: Mother's day! Bike (180-240 min) & Run (20-30 min)
Nutrition: Portions and no sugar!
Massage Monday (today) tight in the right abductor, hip and calve. Plus, back (right side) tight from the Core workout on Sunday... need to watch all these things!

I think this week might give me a small break before things gear up again next week... plus, I've got to find someone to right 3 1/2-4 1/2 with me on Sunday!
