TGIF! It's been a very long week and I for one am grateful that it's Friday. In retrospect, my workout was once again limited by other commitments. I worked as a sub in the library and I spent the day on my feet. I took my pedometer with m and I did a few circuits in the library while I was working. It doesn't necessarily get the heart rate up, but it did keep me moving.

Daily Goal

My goal today was to hit 7500 steps whether I got my time on the treadmill or not. I managed to hit about 6900 steps just working in the school library. I didn't track the steps made before or after the hours working at the school. While I didn't hit my normal workout routine, I did get activity in and I'm of the firm opinion that any activity is better than none.

Time Spent

I spent about eight hours at the school total today. Outside of my morning yoga, which lasted about 18 minutes in the morning, I didn't spend much more time on my workout.

How I'm Feeling

Feeling exhausted this afternoon. It was a long day at the school. It was fun and I love working in the library. I enjoy working with the kids and I admit, books are a passion of mine so there's something to be said for spending the day surrounded by them.

What's Next

I'm heading out this weekend to pick up a bike and I'll add biking to my normal routine. This weekend will be a case of hit and miss when it comes to working out, but I have a lot going on and hopefully we'll maximize what we're doing from start to finish.

How is your workout going? Are you making your workout sessions? Do you have creative ways to make sure you get in some physical activity every day? We'll be back here Monday for Week 3 of our Spring Forward to Action 2007 challenge.
