Thanks, DuPage County Forest Preserves! |
Today, I got up super early (for a Sunday) to knock out my brick workout. Because it's a holiday, I knew I wouldn't be able to get to the gym after celebrating, but before they close at 3 p.m. I decided to hit my favorite trail, Busse Woods, then swim laps. My 8.33-mile loop took me just more than 30 minutes, with my top speed 21.9 miles per hour.
The gym was all sorts of wrong. I went to a different location, because it was on the way to brunch. I called ahead to ensure they had a pool and the appropriate toiletries. I should have been suspicious when the guy on the phone said he didn't know the length of the pool and didn't have a tape measure. I also had to clarify what "toiletries" meant, since he assured me they had toilet paper.
The pool was the size of some hot tubs I've seen. By the time I did a flip turn, I was halfway across the pool. The locker rooms, contrary to what the guy on the phone told me, did not have shampoo. Sigh. I'm not sure if this pool workout even counts, given the size of the pool.
However, I know I burned at least enough calories to enjoy my favorite part of Easter: Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. I have no clue what makes them so amazing, but these eggs are the perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. I heart them so much. Enjoy your Easter!

Awesome weekend workouts!
I think the eggs have the perfect ratio too! It's funny you mention it - I was just saying that to someone yesterday!
