Weekly Workout Summary
I started my week on Tuesday after taking Monday off. This Tuesday workout was really tough, especially with all the burpees!  

I was pretty sore the next day (Wednesday) during spinning but still did some swimming to get ready for tri season and then that night when I went to Local Barre class with Meghan in Hoboken.

Thursday night I went for a quick run with the my running buddy since I got home late and then  
 Friday did the Cinco de Mayo Spin, some weights and swimming.  

Over the weekend we did 5 miles with some 400s and 15 miles on the bike on Saturday and on Sunday we did 10.3 miles to get ready for a half marathon at the end of May.
