Street to Sweat #PROOF

I thought I might do something fun today and show you my Street to Sweat clothes. And as you can tell, I take terrible self portraits.


Dress - Banana Republic
Cardigan - Ann Taylor Loft
Shoes - Madden Girl via DSW

Cap - Nike
Top - C9 Champion from Target
Shorts - C9 Champion from Target
Shoes - Brooks Ghost 3 (dead running shoes)

As you can see, I hit the gym for my workout today. I started with 20 minutes on the elliptical then got in back and shoulders and a very short tabata workout. I went with 3 sets of 8 reps unless noted.

SS#1
Underhand barbell row
Standing shoulder press

SS#2
Pullovers
Lateral raise

SS#3
Double-arm rows
Front raises

SS#4
Low back extensions - 10 reps
Incline rear delt flyes

For the tabata, I just chose 4 exercises that I repeated as a circuit twice through to give me 1 round. I repeated twice for a total of 10 minutes. You do each exercise 20 seconds followed by 10 second rest then move direction to the next exercise.

Kettlebell swings
Kettlebell summo squat with upright pull
Kettlebell figure 8's
Kettlebell swing into a squat and overhead press (general idea came from Lisa Balash, but I added the overhead press)

Rather than drag out the post when I don't really have any exciting recipe or meal to post, I'll end this now. I am planning to hit the grocery store this evening though. So back to regularly scheduled cooking soon! Which lately means grilling ;-)

Daily To-Enjoy List

  • Sunshine
  • Lots of fresh veggies re-stocked
  • Good workout

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.
