6--Bike to work and back, about 50 min; 45-min stabiity ball class; 5K run with a trainer, 32:30

So, hilarious story...

I bike to work this morning, no biggie. I planned to go to a stability ball class and then bike home. So I'm walking back to work (it's about 100 feet from the mall where the gym is to the door of my office building) and I see the personal trainer who I had for my complimentary sessions (for getting people to sign up). He says, "I'm going for a run. Wanna come?!?" I say, "How long?" 5K. "Sure!" I was mostly bluffing. We walk to my building, and I realize, "You're totally going to kick my butt, aren't you?!?" But I drop my stuff at work, and off we go. It was brutal! He's so upbeat, even when I got tired and cranky, he was like, "Come on, just 200 metres to go!" But he finally figured out the secret--tire me out until I can't even talk, and I stop complaining. :lol:

In the end, our time was 32:30 for 5K, surpassing my previous best by two and a half minutes. But I know we were going much more slowly then he would have without me dragging him back. ;) That's okay--he said he likes running with company, and he was very nice about saying I really didn't slow him down that much. :dizzy:

Moral of the story: when you run into a personal trainer, run the other way!! :lol:

(EZ: I'm using this time as my 5K, s I'm going to cross-post this there. That way more people can find hilarity in my pain and stupidity. ;) )

Well Tuesday I had a day off, because I was sore from jogging the day before and I didn't want to hurt myself. Yesterday I didn't do an actual workout per se, but I was cleaning my house and that made me sweat. Does that count?

ETA: This morning I did a 15min workout with the My Fitness Coach, and 20min on my stationary bike. I got 5.2 miles! Go me! lol
