This was a vacation week for me and the hubby. We were in Cabo! I tried to follow the plan, yet kept shifting stuff. Ended up doing most of what I was supposed to do.
And…had a huge confidence booster: I swam twice in the ocean and it went well!! More details below…
| Planned | Actual | |
| Sunday | run 30
swim bike 45 |
Ran 40, did some surges half way through, felt super hard, was counting this down, want to say that the treadmill wasn’t set properly…???
Did a little bit of strength work. Didn’t find a good place to swim, didn’t want to feel like an idiot doing drills through people who were standing around drinking.

| Monday | run 30
bike 45 |
Swam 40, got up early and did lengths back and forth in the pool, got most of a usual workout in.
Bike 45, was a low bike (more horizontal), felt this in my glutes! |
| Tuesday | swim | Swam in ocean! We went over to the other resort where you can actually swim in the ocean. I had the hubby time me for 30 minutes, I did a little more than that and I just swam back and forth. I did about half bilateral and half breathing every stroke. After I stopped monkeying around with my goggles and accepted that you can’t see totally clearly, it went well! I finished a half an hour without too much trouble! This was a HUGE confidence booster!

| Wednesday | run 65 | Ran 65 minutes. It was terrible! I had cramps from the beginning, I took two 5-minute breaks. Was a BIG BONK. Now, I know I’m on vacation and don’t have my normal nutrition options in the morning, but geez, I would’ve thought an easy run would’ve gone better than this. I also had an amazing deep tissue massage the day before, so maybe that flushed too much into the system?? Searching for reasons…. in any case, not a good run.

| Thursday | swim
bike 40 |
40 minutes on a spin bike. Pushed it and it was a great workout.
Another ocean swim! Did 5 lengths from buoy to buoy in front of the resort. Hubby said it looked like the length of a football field. ?? Who knows? It was an over-30-minutes continuous swim. Yay!! Went well. Didn’t monkey with the goggles, just swam. So far…I like open water swimming better than pool swimming!! |
| Friday | off | off |
| Saturday | bike 65 | Did a 60 minute run on the mountain side! Would run horizontal terrain in between short ups and downs. Was a challenge. Stopped for ice at minute 52.
Was a great workout. |
TOTAL = 375 minutes = 6.25 hours …better than I thought!
- Run = 165 min
- Swim = 110 min!!
- Bike = 85 min
- Strength = 15 min
