QOTD: Do you do any type of workout or other activity on your recovery days? If so what do you do?
ATTQOTD: I rest on non-running days. They are usually days when I get to spend a little more time with the family.
Right now I don't. But once things settle down and the weather gets better I plan to add my bike rides back in on alternating days. I'm hoping to get some P90x strength training workouts in for the upper body and maybe a day of Yoga to stretch myself out.
Efficient with time I guess. Up at 5:00-5:30 (shower, make breakfast (eggs/oatmeal) and lunch at same time, eat), leave for work at 7, get home from work at 4:45, out the door to run by 5:10, home by 6:20 to 7:00 most nights, eat dinner, play with the kiddo, her bedtime is around 8:00-8:30, and then I'm in bed at either 8:30 or 9 depending on the DIS. Rinse and repeat! There isn't a lot of time I'm not at work, running, or playing with kiddo I guess.
I forget your kiddo is younger. I am constantly running my kids to basketball and doing homework and stuff. Throws a big wrench into my routine. Once basketball is over next month I can get back into a better routine as well. Sometimes I'm not getting to the gym until 9pm..
I love sleep. I rarely have any issues falling asleep. I usually get between 5 and 6 just due to schedules and work. I would like 8, but its not going to happen. However, can function on little sleep. Usually by Thursday I am feeling it and Fridays, I am ready for the weekend.
I'm usually ready for the weekend on Monday morning.
