It has been interesting trying to coordinate a rigid workout schedule with the demands of my family, but I've just had to be creative and diligent.
I took my second forty-minute run on Wednesday while my husband was with the kids at the baseball practice for my oldest. We all drove together and after the practice started I headed off on the adjacent path and ran in gorgeous weather up and down a nearby hill. As the kids get older, I imagine that many of my workouts will happen while they are at various activities.
I was determined to get in the 7-lap test today, and because my husband had to go in to work early, I had to improvise. I took all three of the kids to a nearby high school, unloaded them to one end of the football field with a number of things to play with, and I ran the 7-lap test. I completed the seven laps in 14:12. It is a couple minutes slower than the last test I took in college, but I am not terribly upset with the first attempt this summer.
I did sit-ups and push-ups when I got home from the run, and then did some pull-ups and dips when I took the kids to a park later in the day.
I am unsure how I will get in the last 40-minute run of the week over the weekend, but I hope to come up with a viable plan. So far, it has been a good start to the week, and I am excited for the next run over the weekend.

- Thanks for visiting the Stout Soccer coach's blog. We hope that this blog will give you an extra dimension to what Stout soccer is all about. You can read the stats and watch the games, but what is it that really makes up the character of the women who put on the Stout gear every fall? Hopefully this behind the scenes look will give you a different perspective about the team and some impression of what matters to me as a coach.
