To the beach!

This was a very interesting week- lots of travel and some family visit- and I took it pretty easy from my workouts! I definitely needed the rest and my body let me know. I had a hard time waking up and just wanted to sleep the entire week away!  Here's what the easy(ish) week looked like for me- 

Monday

Beach Walks

Dan and I left bright and early to go to the beach, and once we got about a half hour away our car broke down! Luckily we were able to pull over to the side of the road safely and were able to get a tow truck take it to a dealer and an Uber to take us to a rental car and continue on our way. Our day wasn't ruined though- we still visited the beach and a farmer's market.

Tuesday

10 mile bike ride

Our car was still in the shop (and we found out it will probably be there for months since the parts needed are in a national back order) but we were able to spend the day on Bald Head Island! There's a ferry that takes you over from the main land, and there are no cars allowed. We brought over our bikes (you can also rent them on the island or get a golf cart). The island is only 4 miles long, so we were able to explore the entire thing and go on a few hikes along the way. It was such a beautiful place and next time I want to rent a house and stay longer.

Wednesday

3 mile run

We finally made it home from our trip, and I was exhausted! I managed to make it out for a run but that's just about all I had the energy for- I was planning on going for a swim but quickly nixed that and decided this would be a rest week from that.

Thursday

1.5 mile run

I had absolutely no energy today but forced myself out for a short and easy run. I did a lot of walking but being outside definitely helped me wake up a bit.

1 hour disc golf

After work Dan and I met up with some friends to play a round of disc golf. It was our first time playing with friends which was a little intimidating but we had a great time! We played at Apex Nature Park which is my favorite place to play- it's full of beautiful trees and is very beginner friendly.

Friday

8 mile bike ride

Had a great mid-day bike ride down to Bond Park and sat by the lake for a bit. It was beautiful out and I enjoyed just relaxing for a while! It was also my friend's birthday, so on the ride back I joined her birthday run on the Peloton app. It was a Pride themed run and it was perfect for biking as well!

Saturday

45 min run + walk

Just a short and easy workout to get ready for tennis! I wasn't feeling great on this so I was happy to have lots of walk breaks and just kept the effort easy.

1 hour tennis

My second to last tennis lesson and today we worked on serving, forehand and backhands, and learned how to volley. I was still feeling a little off (just more tired than usual) so I definitely wasn't at my best but made it through.

Sunday

Rest Day!

My sister and her family were in town for the night and Dan and I were leaving in the afternoon so I just had an easy day. We took my nephew to the park and went on some walks, but besides that just hung out.
