This has been a crazy busy week and I have to say I am so looking forward to the weekend, as I’m sure most of you are as well.
With track season now in full swing, I haven’t been home before 6 any night this week. Since I’m used to being home around 4, I am really feeling this hit on my personal time. At least the kids are having a great time out on the throwing field.
Does anyone else get a weird, giddy, accomplished feeling when then stick with a pen long enough to have it run out of ink? Bueller?
Moving on…
There are a few fitness moves that have been making regular appearances in my workouts the past month or so. Even though they are butt kickers, I find them to be a lot of fun and put them all together into one workout:
Here are video links to the moves in case you haven’t heard of them before:
- Curtsey to Side Kick
- Side Plank Kicks
- Sumo Squats with Elbow to Knee (weight optional)
- Offset Push Ups
- Woodchoppers

I am with you for the weekend coming! Although somehow my weekend got pretty heavily booked. Not sure how/why that happened, but at least weekend means not at work. I can see how getting home 2 hours later is rough, but at least you get to spend that time outside doing great stuff?
Very true. That is the good thing about being a track/throws coach. I get to spend a lot of time outside.
Yes on the pen thing. I never really even wrote much before my current job, but since i wear like 8 different hats here I need to keep lists of everything, and now i go through a pen every 3 months or so. It really makes you feel accomplished!
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who loves the empty pen thing!
This workout will definitely make an appearance in my repertoire. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the links!
Can I just tell you how happy it just made me to look at a real kid thinking about throwing the discus? TOO AWESOME! Those kids are lucky to have you (and, I’m sure, you feel lucky to have them!).
I get excited when my pens and/or white board markers wear out. 🙂 I am waving my geek/nerd flag proudly right now!!!
I am definitely lucky to have them! Thank you for the same love of finishing off pens and markers!
