It’s been a crazy, busy week at our house lately. Did not want to miss my Weekly Wrap with Tricia & Hoho so just popping in with a short Weekly Wrap College Move In. I definitely did not get in my usual amount of traditional workouts this week but college move ins are exhausting in themselves. Here’s how my week played out.
Sunday- Picked up my son from camp
Finally got my son home after he was away at summer camp for 7 weeks. He is not much into the blog photos so you get a picture of the delicious veggies and fruit from a local farmers market near his camp. My workout for that day was 7 weeks of teenage boy laundry.
Monday- 1 mile run, 20 min elliptical, 60 min strength training
I was able to stay on my regular schedule but did not make it to yoga that day or any day this week unfortunately.
Tuesday-6 mile run in pouring rain
Woke up to some crazy rain but decided I needed to get a longer run done that day as I knew I would be traveling that week. Fortunately one of my MRTT friends joined me for 6 very soggy miles.
Wednesday- 1 mile run + 90 min strength training and kick boxing
I was determined not to miss my hard Wednesday Workout with m trainer. I fit i in and 2 hours later we were at the airport on our way back to Indiana to take my daughter back to school. This was the first year I headed out on my own to take her. It’s always so much more work than I think it will be. We arrived at our hotel late Wednesday night in Bloomington.
Thursday- move into sorority house
While not a formal workout, this move in was sure a sweatfest. Literally, the AC was not working on the side of the house she was on. Carrying things up and down to the 3rd floor was certainly a workout. 2 trips to Target and Bed Bath & Beyond later, we had most of her stuff in.
Friday- 3 mile run + more move in
I did manage to get a short run in and the headed back to do more organizing at the sorority house. There is a great running path right off campus that I like to run on. Short but sweet.
My daughter is all moved in and happily ensconced in her house. She is right across from the library this year so no excuses right? Drove back to the airport and after a 4 hour delay made it back to my house late Friday night. I made it back just in time to unpack and repack because we were headed out Saturday morning for a little vacation in Nantucket, MA.
Saturday-walk around Nantucket
Arrived late morning and spent the day walking around town and getting the lay of the land. Look forward to doing some fun bike rides, kayaking, running and relaxing the next few days. Right now I am pretty exhausted from the past week. Dropping my baby is never easy but now I have my son home to spoil and spend some time with.
And that’s my Weekly Wrap College Move In-Hope you all have a great week.
Wow, you certainly did have a busy week! I would say that moving counts as both a strength and cardio workout. I hope you enjoy your time in Nantucket, MA!
The college move ins do no seem to be getting easier! Next year I will have 2 of them. So far so good on Nantucket
So you were back in Indiana for a few days 🙂 Glad we had some good weather for you for move in day. Wishing her another good year!
I was surprised by how warm it was! Got it all done in 2 days 🙂
We took our son “back” to his new school Thursday….I know how much work moving a college student can be (especially the daughters LOL). You did a great job of staying super active, though!!
Thanks! It is super hard to let them go isn’t it?!
Sounds like you had a busy week, mentally and physically! Enjoy your vacation
I definitely did on both! Plan to do a lot of relaxing this week thanks
I bet that was hard–were you a little sad on your vaca? She looks happy, and you look like one of the coeds! Hang in there mama!
You know I am always a little sad to see her go. We want them to grow up and be on their own but we don’t want to let them go. Wonder if it ever gets any easier? I do miss her on our vacation this week. I know you know how it feels too!
Wow, sounds like a busy week! But you still did great with getting in your workouts! Moving is SO exhausting.
It really is!
I’m tired just listening to how busy you were! Great job getting your extra workouts and runs in this week on top of move in and laundry. I’m sure that you will be back to the usual next week!
WE are on vacation this week so maybe next week!
Moving can be quite the full body workout! I’m jealous of your beach time but … drumroll … I made us reservations at Rehoboth!
That’s fun you will love having a few days off
Moving and laundry all count as cross training 😉
It looks like a great space for your daughter to enjoy her school year!
Enjoy Nantucket!!
Thanks yes I think she is very happy and so far so good in Nantucket
You had a busy week! How exciting for you daughter moving into a sorority house!! When I was in college my dorm was across the street from the library. Yes, I did go there frequently. 🙂
Ok then there is hope for her too! 🙂
You were a woman on the move this week! Way to fit it all in! Enjoy nantucket! It is so beautiful!
Yes I was everywhere this week. Looking forward to relaxing the next few days
What a busy week!
Sometimes rainy runs are my most memorable!
I totally agree! Have a great week
Busy week! But what a beautiful family you have! I say doing 7-weeks worth of laundry for a teenage boy definitely counts as an official workout! Lol x
ha thanks me too!
7 weeks of teenage boy laundry is tougher than any typical workout! Uffda… that would be a full day. My little boys make a lot of laundry and I can’t imagine the teenage years yet 🙂 You have been super mom this week! Way to fit in your workouts with all of the other “real-life” workouts added in. Moving in/out is no joke!
Don’t I know it on the laundry! Last week was a crazy week indeed
I didn’t have to do anything this year with the college kid. Since he is in an apartment (with 2 others) they were allowed to stay (or at least their stuff anyway) throughout the summer. Nantucket sounds wonderful. I’ve always wanted to visit that area. Sadly, the vacations are getting tougher for us to coordinate with the kids’ different schedules.
The vacations are hard to coordinate with different school breaks. This time we only have my son with us
Seven weeks of teenage boy laundry sounds like a major workout – LOL!
Hope you’re having a blast in Nantucket! Enjoy!
More laundry and smells than anyone needs! Yes Nantucket is beautiful thanks
Where does you daughter go to school?
I grew up in, and went to college in IN.
Oh I think I knew that! She is at IU in Bloomington. Where did you go?
