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

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.
