Leg Day & Almost Pool Time

Gym Day
Today was gym day - legs and shoulders. I got my friend to meet me at the gym for the workout. Of course, it was semi-trickery. She's been avoiding Sunday Leg day since the first let workout. LOL I told her I wanted to do a boxing workout. She eagerly agreed and then it dawned on me that she thought that's all we were going to do.

Did I text her back...well hell no (evil laugh). We started with the same shoulder giant set I did last week then legs. Everything is 3x8.

GS
Upright rows
Incline rear delt flye
Overhead shoulder press with barbell

SS#1
Squats with low-end pulse
Plie squats

SS#2
Stiff-legged deadlifts
Calf raises (toes turned out)

SS#3
Some funky band walks she decided to toss out at me
Alternating front lunges

She ended up not sticking around for the boxing workout - Cathe's MMA Boxing. I did the first segment then the abs before stretching and calling it done.


Attempted Pool Time
My friend and her husband were going to run a few errands then come by for some pool time. It was deserved after all right? I just chilled out for a bit while Jason did yard work. Oh yes, he waited until the index was a nice 105.

My friends showed up around 2 and then the clouds promptly arrived as well. We floated around for a bit then came the thunder...then the lightening. We've been waiting on rain for days. Had chances of rain for days. Well, it finally showed up today while we were trying to enjoy some pool time. Hello rudeness! 

Oh well, can't win them all I suppose. We did still enjoy about an hour at least before the bottom fell out. At least I don't have to water the dying yard though.

Not sure what the dinner plan is going to be. Something simple sounds good to me actually. Of course, I don't do simple very well so we'll see what really happens. I am planning on just chilling out and enjoying the very last bit of the weekend though. I hope you all do the same!

Daily To-Enjoy List
  • Pool time (cut short)
  • No makeup, hair fixing day
  • Catching up on Big Brother

I Run to Feel Alive

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

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. ...
