What Day of the Week is It?

Working it Out at Lunch
So I will refrain from stating how insane work is again. I swear I don't even have a clue what day it is any longer, especially since I'm thrown off my regular schedule. But, I think you all get that. I know several of you are having insane weeks too. Hopefully we all can recover just a bit this weekend!

I took a slightly longer lunch today to get in all of my workouts done. I didn't think I would have time after work before the welcome reception for our conference. I did back and biceps today, opting for the pyramid method. It was pretty much the same workout as last week. For the pyramid I did reps of 12, 10, 8, 10, 12 increasing then decreasing the weights.

Pyramid SS#1
Pullovers into Double-arm rows

Pyramid SS#2
Biceps curls into Hammer curls

SS#3
Underhand rows
Alternating biceps curls

Lat band pull downs - 2x16

I followed this up with all of the first and second combos/intervals then the boxing only from the third for Cathe's MMA Boxing. I also did abs from Power Hour. The whole workout was about 56 minutes. Not too bad. Got in, got it done, got back to work.

Frozen Entree for Dinner
So I think I officially have upper body DOMS for every single muscle group. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a rest day for me. Not sure when I would be able to get in a workout unless I got up early. Because of the reception tonight, I'll be out later than normal for a weeknight. Of course, that's sort of funny for me to say b/c I'm typically home no later than 6:30 and that's only if I go to spin. So I may as well be staying out until midnight. I do hope to be home by 8:30 though. Wish me luck please.

While there was going to be food at the reception - quesadillas and such - I opted for a healthier alternative that was super quick: an Amy's frozen entree. I had thought I would be able to make stir fry or something like that, but I really didn't have more than about 30 minutes to get home, change, eat, and get going again. Have I mentioned how much I dislike being off my routine? Oh...yeah...once or twice. So, I won't go there. I'm determined to try to chill out and enjoy.

I hope everyone has a great evening!

I Run to Feel Alive

By
Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

By
Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break.
