The Plan

  • Kerrie

Well, we did it. We bought a bus. The thing is huge: 34-feet, 3 slide-outs. I cannot wait to go somewhere in it after we pick it up. Meantime, I have to clean out our trailer that’s been sitting in storage for 3 years.

Where should we go first?

We didn’t just decide to buy this thing on a whim. We’ve been looking on-and-off for years; and we’ve been saving and paying other things off so we could buy something like this and afford it. (That being said, it is a 2004 and it did not cost nearly as much as you might think.) We had a plan.

I enjoy having a plan, which is why I love training. I basically know what I’m going to do, exercise-wise, for the week. Here’s my plan for the week:

MONDAY

10-20 minute warm up

1600 meters at a 7:40 pace

400 meters rest

1200 meters at a 7:32 pace

400 meters rest

800 meters at a 7:24 pace

400 meters rest

400 meters at a 7:16 pace

10 minute cooldown

 

TUESDAY

Swimming or Jillian ab workout

 

WEDNESDAY

(Not sure I will be able to do a mile rest in between — I only have an hour, so I may switch it to .5 mile easy.)

1 mile warm up

1 mile at 8:13 pace

1 mile easy

1 mile at 8:13 pace

1 mile easy

1 mile at 8:13 pace

1 mile cool down

 

THURSDAY

30-40 minutes on my bike at lunch

 

FRIDAY

6 miles at a 8:43 pace

 

SATURDAY

Slow walk or Jillian workout

 

SUNDAY

Swim, bike or Jillian workout

 

Do you enjoy having a plan? Have you ever had a motorhome?

    I love having a plan! I have my week all planned out and do my best to hit every work and it has taken me a while to not beat myself up over missed workouts.

    Yeah, I sort of struggle with that, too. 🙂

    Im so jealous of your new toy! What fun! Fun weekend plans using it coming up?! Today’s speed workout looks brutal, good luck good luck! Maybe I should adopt your speed plan for my workout this week, but with a little bit slower paces! I always let myself off the hook easy when it comes to speed work.

    I must have a training plan and I really need to have a goal date, aka race day. That’s what works best for me. We’ve had many travel trailers and have a lot of fun and fond memories. Currently, my hubby is trying to comvince me that we now need a small motorhome. He’s using the “we can get this to go and do our tri’s with” as his main tactic. I’m not completely sold yet..I’m sure once tri season starts, I will be more energetic.

    It’s so inspiring to see where you have come, 7-min mile pace…you have improved so much and all the work is paying off! I don’t have an official plan, mostly due to not having registered for a tri yet. Soon, though, soon. I do have a schedule that includes working out…which is sort of a plan…yes, yes it is.

    Wow, that looks like a super nice motorhome!! Whoo Hoo!! I have never owned a motorhome but my parents did when I was little and it was a lot of fun to go camping even though it was “candy camping”. I like to schedule some things but other things I just like to do when I feel like it. I’m sort of weird about feeling like I have to do something because then I don’t want to do it…does that make sense? Not sure if it does but oh well. I’m weird.

    OMG – LOVE the RV! Are you planning a big vacation this summer?? We have a pop-up camper – would love something like yours one day, but storage would be an issue.

    I love having a plan too. I feel like without a plan {any plan – training plan, TO DO list, etc.} I’ll just be lazy and do nothing. Sometimes I don’t always get all my stuff done on my TO DO list but at least it helps me stay on task.

    My grandma & step-grandfather have lived in their motor home since 1990, traveling between California, Arizona, Wyoming, and Oregon. My mom owns a 5th wheel and I’ve been camping with her once since she’s owned it and she has traveled with it, and my step-dad, to visit my grandparents several times. When I was growing up we had a camper that fit over the bed of our truck that we used when we went camping – I loved that 🙂

    Congrats on your bus! 🙂 Where are you going to take it first?!

    Completely impressed by how organized you are with your weekly plans. I am not good at planning that far in advance! 🙂

    I’ve finally got organized enough to get your blog feed correctly into my reader… I’ve missed so much!

    Anyway, we had a motor home when I was a kid. You crazy dog show people! My kids are dying for one now, what’s up with that?

    The bus looks like fun! We love camping, but the rains that leaked through the tent the last couple of times make one of those look like a mansion out there on the campground! Have fun!
