Day in the Life #1
I always love reading other people’s “Day in the Life” posts mostly because I just think that it is so interesting to know how people spend their day beyond their runs/workouts/meals. Yesterday I had quite a busy day so I thought it’s make for a more exciting day in the life post than the normal 1. go for a run 2. sit at a desk for 8 hours doing accounting stuff 3. eat dinner and watch tv – ha!
I hope you enjoy this peek into my Wednesday!
5:09 am – Alarm #1, I turn it off and roll over until alarm #2.
5:23 am – Dogs are antsy so I get up and take them out to go to the bathroom. It’s so dark out that Finn (who is black) blends in with everything, he ends up going through the fence and I have to wake Henri up to go find him because I am deathly afraid of the dark… yes I am 24 years old!
5:35 am – Henri brings Finn inside and goes back to sleep (thanks babe!).
5:36 – Feed the dogs, put on my running clothes, and braid my hair.
5:40-5:50 am – Pack my bag for work after my track workout.
5:50-6:05 am – Pack snacks for the day and dinner for tonight because I have a late work meeting.
6:05 am – Get in the car and drive to the center of town for my workout.
6:20-8:00 am – Track workout!! Warm-up from my car to the high school, drills, strides, 6x 1 mile repeats (targeting 5:45-5:55 but it’s so cold that it takes me awhile to get in the groove – 6:08, 6:05, 5:55, 5:53, 5:52, 5:48), cool-down back to my car. My face is FROZEN and I can’t even feel my fingers!
8:00-8:05 am – Stretch for as long as I can still bare being out in the cold. Remind myself that I’ll really have to foam roll tonight if I don’t want to be extra sore in the morning.
8:05 am – Contemplate whether I should get gas (15 miles til empty) or grab a muffin from cafe in town. Decide on the muffin – pumpkin struesel! 🙂
8:15 am – Arrive at work, change into my work clothes, and sit down at my desk.
8:20-8:55 am – Eat breakfast and drink my morning cup of coffee while responding to e-mails, reading some blogs and entering my workout in my training log.
8:55-11 am – Bible study! Luckily my Bible study meets in the church I work at so I just have to walk down the hall. Chat with my mom and sister for a little bit afterwards before they head back home.
11 am-12:30 pm – Work. Boring accounting stuff.
12:30-1pm – Soup Group!! Every Wednesday during the fall/winter a group of my co-workers get together for soup and fellowship at lunch time. Today is chicken stew – very tasty!
1-6pm – Work. Again I won’t bore you with the details! ha
6-6:30 pm – Eat dinner at my desk while answering personal e-mails and reading a book on my phone
6:30-8:15 pm – Finance Team Meeting. We have a small group today so the meeting is relatively quick.
8:30 pm – Stop for gas on the way home because I skipped it this morning. Filling up the tank isn’t quite as painful when gas is $2.99 a gallon!
845 pm – Catch up with Henri about work and how our days were.
9-10 pm – Watch Modern Family and Blackish while foam rolling/eating some ice cream (Ben and Jerry’s Hazed & Confused Core)!
10 pm – Get ready for bed and lay out clothes for my morning run.
10:30 – Lights out!
