Gym, Errands & Lazy Sunday

Gym
I wish I could run 13 and 14 miles every day because despite how hard it is, I sure sleep like a log that night. I crashed out hard at 9 last night and slept until 8:20 this morning! I think I only got up twice during the night, which is like not getting up at all in my book.

It was a rainy, dreary start to the morning. No motivation at all. But, I needed to get myself to the gym and just get moving. Jason actually went with me. Huge shocker. He did his thing and I did mine, but it was still nice having him up there with me.

I started with 15 minutes on the elliptical. Surprisingly, my legs are not sore at all after yesterday's 14-miler. The only thing hurting is still my sciatica. Anyway, I did the elliptical then hit the weights for shoulders and biceps. I did supersets of 3x8 and finished with some ab work.

SS#1
Standing shoulder press
Alternating bicep curls

SS#2
Lateral raise
Hammer curls

SS#3
Front raise - pull into chest (not a clue what these are called)
Cross-body curls

I really felt the shoulders today and have a feeling the biceps will be talking back to me tomorrow.

Errands & Lazy Afternoon
After the gym, we made a quick grocery store trip, then back home. We should have behaved and made lunch at the house, but, we didn't. It was gray and yuck out and it just seemed like a better idea to get out of the house instead. So, we hit up Vino's for pizza (re-carbing from yesterday right??). Oh I did get to meet my friend Jenny's (from Vegan and So Forth) sister. That was kind of cool - too bad Jenny wasn't there though (ahem we need to have lunch again!).

Jason wanted to hit up Target after lunch. I did not. So, he was the good guy and went to Target while I washed more laundry and made some seitan. Oh, and painted my nails too. I have been seeing some gray nails on Pinterest and had it in my head that I "had" to find gray polish. I found some O.P.I. for Sephora on Friday (Break a Leg Warmer) and finally had time to redo my nails today. LOVE IT.

While Jason was at Target, he also picked up the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He knows how much I love Johnny Depp ;-) So, that's our Sunday in a nutshell: workout, errands, lunch, movie time. Might not be super exciting, but definitely enjoyable.


Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Relaxing lunch
  • Time in the kitchen
  • Painting nails
  • Watching movie with hubby
  • Being in PJs by 3:30

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.
