Activity: Biking
Time: 45:00
Notes:
We locked our bikes to the bike rack on our car for the trip. And then we left the keys at home. And didn't realize it until we were at the beach. Oops. We called a locksmith who said those locks are impenetrable. (Hard for me to believe - what if we had lost the key? - would we have to drive around with the bikes for eternity?). So I called my neighbor back home who graciously overnighted the keys to the beach.
Since riding the bike turned into such an ordeal I had to relish this ride :)

Activity: Hiking
Time: 45:00
Activity: Running
Distance: 4.25 miles
Notes:
Hike was in the AM over the dunes while carrying a baby. Walking through deep sand in the heat lugging a little one is a recipe for dead legs.
However, I forced my concrete legs out in the afternoon for:
1m warmup; 6x400m @ 7:08 w/ 200m walk recovery (1% incline); 1m cooldown
Much to my surprise it went well and I was able to complete the workout without trouble. I am so glad I didn't bag this workout even though I was tempted.

Notes:
Our rental house is across the street from the resort fitness center which includes a large indoor pool (with lap lanes and a hot tub), a weight room, and a cardio center. They even have stability balls and medicine balls. Much better than usual vacation exercise fare...

Activity: Running
Distance: 5 miles
Notes:
I wanted to run 8 but my legs were completely dead and I struggled to finish 5. This is the first time I ran (for real) back to back days post-baby and that coupled with the long car ride led to a miserable run.

We're on our way to vacation! I am looking forward to a week of playing in the sand with the kids and getting a lot of training in.
I ran on the hotel treadmill today. It was really old and crappy and who know how accurate it was. At least I got some work done.

1m warmup; 3x1m (1% incline) @ 8:01, 7:47, 7:35; 1m cooldown
I hate mile repeats. Always have and always will. It didn't help my MP3 player ran out of batteries halfway through and I had to stare at the wall. I got through it and actually was able to ramp up the pace ( I was supposed to do 8:01s for all)
