weekly workouts: squeezing it in

It’s been another busy week around here.  Why is it that the end of the school year means more and more stuff?!  Awards ceremonies, checking things out, preparing for next year, collecting things from this year, inventory, professional development logs, school dances, etc. etc. etc.  { sigh }  Only 8 1/2 more days…

Just like last week, workouts have been a struggle to fit in.  I’ve been really trying to plan things out to make sure I can fit everything in, but it’s still hard and I have to pick and choose what I am willing to fit in.  Running, of course, takes first priority and sometimes that means getting up at 4 AM to run on the treadmill.  With 4 AM wakeup calls and a busy schedule, I have been wiped out this week.  I’m sooooo ready for the weekend…

I ended up doing a workout with my Exercise & Fitness class since it was gorgeous outside and I was in shorts and my running shoes.  It killed them!  I loved it!

OK, so not nearly as bad as I thought.  Planning on squeezing in a 5 miler before the 8th grade dance this evening.  Not going to lie, looking forward to my summer off just for the extra time I’ll have, even if it means taking MacKenna to the gym daycare to run on the treadmill.

Do you plan out when you are going to workout to make sure you can squeeze it in your busy schedule?
