Week two of the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge went a bit better than Week 1, but it still had it's challenges. Mainly, I was working a night shift this week, which normally wouldn't be an issue. But my work schedule had appointments that required me to be at work in the morning as well, sometimes for a couple of hours, leaving me a small window of time that was considered my "break." Not real conducive to working out when you're only free time is an hour or two in the middle of the afternoon and you've got other things to deal with.Enough excuses though. Hopefully I'll be able to banish the excuses next week.
So the challenge. What'd the week look like? Take a look.
Monday 11/30
1.25 hour swim - 5
4.5 mile run - 4.5
Wednesday 12/2 through Friday 12/4
too much time spent at work means no bootie busting for me
Saturday 12/5
4.5 mile run - 4.5
6 mile bike - 2
30 minutes abs/weights - 1
misc. cardio (a bunch of dancing at a wedding counts, right?) - 2
Sunday 12/6
took the day off to put up the Christmas tree and give the apartment a super hardcore cleaning
Total points for the week: 19
Not amazing. Not awful. I'll take it given the week I had - and trust me, besides working nights, it was not a good week.
Saturday helped out though. After an early morning wake up call to pick up a friend at the airport, I headed over to the YMCA. I just needed to run. Clear my head. Not think. And the treadmill allowed me to do that. So I pounded out 4.5 miles on the treadmill and headed over to the bikes for a short cool down. Six miles, nice and easy. And then the weights were calling my name. So I headed over for a bit, do some weights, some ab work. It was a good morning at the gym (granted I feel the effects of the weight work today) and got me in the right mindset for my best friend from high school's wedding.
Busting a move on the dance floor totally counts as cardio, right?

I love this challenge!! Keep up the great work.
i've often tried to pass off sex as cross-training. you can get away with wedding dancing as cardio.
Dance moves certainly DO count as cardio!!! :)
Great challenge! Thanks for sharing!
You are doing great! Any idea what you are doing in 2010 for races?
