A Not So Solid Weeks Work

So, last week I was bragging, this week ... not so much.  Colleen came back from her Sales Conference sick and so used the following litany of excuses to avoid exercise.

Monday:  Tickets to the San Jose Sharks, couldn't exercise, fun to be had.
Tuesday: Just bone idle lazy.
Wednesday: Dentist in the morning had to work late.
Thursday: Optometrist in the afternoon, pupils dilated, exercise could be dangerous.
Friday: Driving to LA to see MS*, however within 5 minutes of arriving I had fallen off his skateboard and scratched my elbow, not exercise, but activity.
Saturday: In LA hanging with MS.

Not only hanging with MS, but eating fantastic naughty food as well

Sunday: Driving back to San Francisco.

Late Sunday afternoon I tried to redeem myself with a last minute flurry of activity.  Getting back from LA just after 4pm:
  • I went to the pool and swam until they kicked me out, which only turned out to be 33 minutes and 30 seconds, however I swum just over a mile in that time. 
  • Then home and onto the bike, bust around the normal loop as quick as I can, average moving speed of 20.8 mph.
  • Then quick turn around and out for a run.  Colleen rides along side, talking to her Mum, while i puff and pant trying to maintain some kind of pace.  It doesn't work 3.4 miles in 29 minutes  fairly slow.
I wore myself out good and proper though, and now at least can say I exercised 3 times this week, sure they were all on one day, so for the first 160 of the 168 hours of the week I was doing nothing.  But you can't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
