So with a little guy at home heading out for a ride is not quite as easy as it used to be. This challenge is compounded by the fact that Brooklyn is not quite the cycling mecca that we were accustomed to in CA. So, pretty much every ride that Sam and I do together involves childcare as well as driving 45 minutes to start our rides.
So, this morning, after a great 4.5 mile run / walk with the Lululemon run group that I am coaching, Sam and I left Declan with our nanny and headed out for a ride (in 100 degree heat!). Our plan was about 50 coastal miles on Long Island. Unfortunately, major mechanical troubles changed our plans. After about 2 minutes on our bikes we were back in the car and headed to the bike shop. A quick stop at the farmer's market and we were back home without a workout!
Thankfully, Maggie was still with D so we headed to the gym and tried to remain as positive as possible.
today's workout:
4.5 mile run /walk in the am
5 minute bike ride:-)
3 miles of intervals on the elliptical trainer (hip was bothering me a bit so no running)
50 kettle bell swings
50 squats with a band
50 clam shells
50 lunges each leg
50 push-ups
evening walk with D and Sam
We finished off our day with a fantastic dinner of Cobb salads comprised almost entirely of ingredients from the farmer's market. Not bad at all...
Our workout hit a snag this morning too--the Y couldn't find the key to the nursery...so no [free] childcare! Well at least one of us worked out...
