As expected this week’s schedule was off the chain but I’m happy to say that all went well, including a successful fundraising event for work! Knowing what was on deck, my approach to my workouts was to do what I could when I could. Here’s how my week in fitness played out.
Week 19 – Being a Duck
Monday — 1.5-mile walk.
Tuesday — 2-mile walk, Upper Body Strength & Stretch.
Wednesday –– 4-mile run, Core & Stretch.

Working on reducing this mulch pile

Another busy week awaits so I’ll be spending the rest of today relaxing and soaking up the sunshine!

5 Quick Tips for Managing a Busy Week
How did your week go?
I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Join us!
I had never heard that quote about the ducks before-I like it! Way t get it done on a busy work week. Do you like your new job?!
Thanks Deborah! And, yes I’m really enjoying the new job – hard to imagine it’s been 4 months already.
I’m glad you made it through your busy week — and congrats on staying active despite it all. Congrats on the successful fundraising event too!
Thank you Coco 🙂
I like that quote! I picture you like a duck. Me, not so much, lol…Congrats on that fundraiser!
LOL – thanks Wendy!
Sounds like you’re managing to fit it all in. You had a good week of workouts- runs, lower and upper body strength, core and stretching- you did it all. I hope you got to relax today so you can be a duck again tomorrow!
Oh yes, lots of relaxing today. Climbing back into my duck suit tomorrow 😉
That pile of mulch! It looks overwhelming, but I know you’re a badass with the yard work 😉 Great job keeping calm on the surface…like a duck! Hope you have a great week 😉
My husband may have gotten a little carried away with the mulch delivery lol 😉
and when I read your subject I assumed it was weather related. Lots of duck analogies to go around. Glad you navigated the crazy week. Here’s to it calming down some
Cari recently posted…another multi week update
Thanks Cari – I think (hope?) week will be much quieter.
Glad your busy weeks are going as well as they can and you’re still getting out and about – well done!
Thank you Liz!
Nice job getting it done, Michelle! And yard work is absolutely strength work.
Oh yes – I had the DOMS to prove it lol
I am paddling like hell lately too. I’ve actually hired a couple of people to ease the work burden. Now to delegate! Way to get after that yardwork too!
That’s great that you were able to hire some staff – hope it helps!
“Be Like A Duck” is now my new motto because that’s often how I feel most days, lol.
So happy that everything went well last week, including the fundraising event. You still got in some great workouts despite being super busy!
Thanks Kim! It really feels good to have the week behind me.
That is a great quote. Describes my work life.
My yard needs some tender loving care… Never seems to be enough time…
Good for you in getting those workouts done.
I know what you mean about not having enough time…my yard/garden to-do list is so long.
In that case, I’m the duckiest duck to ever duck! Yay!
I hope things calm down!
Thank you Jenn! It sounds like a number of us are having duck moments.
Sounds like you’re managing to do it all while still staying true to yourself and finding ways to make your dreams come true.
