On a Boat Recap & Trying for Normal Day

I'm On a Boat Recap
Yesterday was another great day with friends and my sis. After Sarah and I hit the gym, we packed up and headed to the lake. Our friend has a family cabin on the lake that we could use. We just expected to be floating around in the lake, but her uncle had a boat that he said we could all use.

Let's just say that this song was sung a great deal, in various versions.





At one point, we had a "We're on a Raft" version going. And yes, alcoholic beverages did indeed play into this being far more hysterical than it actually was.

My friend's family ended up showing up so we did have to share the boat. So in the end, we did just float in the water near the cabin. But absolutely no complaining for certain.


Monday Funday
Since today is a holiday, Jason and I were both off work. I needed this 3-day weekend in a big way. I actually managed to sleep until 8:15. Of course, this was after Maddie woke everyone up at 6-ish, then 7.

Since every day can't be about pool parties and hanging on the lake, I guess today was more normal. I hit the gym for a run and then biceps and back. If I had gotten up earlier, I would have probably gone for a run outside. But it was just too hot and I was being lazy.

I did 3 miles total on the treadmill with 4 1:00 minute athletic intervals thrown into the mix. I then hit the weights. I did a superset for biceps/back of 3x8 then drop sets after.

SS
Incline bicep curls
Pullovers

Bicep curls - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)
Double-arm rows - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)

After the workout, I hit the grocery store, which was insanely packed. I guess everyone was out restocking their beer supply (no beer sales on Sunday) and loading up on grilling goods for the evening.

We did attempt a little bit of pool time, but the clouds rolled in on us, so we got out and headed out for a late lunch. The rest of the evening will be a lazy one - just trying to enjoy the last bit of time off before reality strikes tomorrow.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

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...

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...
