Where's the Beach?

Gym Day The weather today made it really really hard to hit the gym and not the road for a run. Another gorgeous day, and warmer than yesterday too. Can't wait to be able to run for fun again and not based on a plan.  Anyway, today I hit the gym for my usual elliptical and weights session. Today was shoulders, chest, triceps and abs. I went with the trisets done in 3 sets of 8 reps again like I did on Monday. I started with a 15 minute warm up on the elliptical. TS#1 Chest flye Chest press Decline pushups Staggered chest press -8 TS#2 Standing dumbbell shoulder press Lateral raise Front raise Front raise open to side back to front - 8 TS#3 Double-arm overhead triceps extension Lying dumbbell triceps extension Double-arm kickbacks Triceps dips - 16 I did a variety of ab exercises like hanging leg raises, some weighted exercises, and some stability ball work before finishing off with another 10 minutes on the elliptical.

Running Recap I must apologize for not having the time today to individually reply to your comments from yesterday's post. I did read each of them (more than once) and appreciate that you took the time to reply so thoughtfully - especially in regards to my running ramble. So apparently I did actually make some sort of sense ;-) I was surprised that more of you don't consider yourselves to be runners though. I think it's such an interesting idea - how we define ourselves and why. Oh, and thank you all so much for your fun facts. I feel so much more normal - love you all! You're great! I found out how similar we all possibly are in terms of quirks.

I do hope you enjoy the fun facts and aren't terribly bored with them yet. Busy Bee: Workouts & Food Prep This morning I was up before 7 am. I pre...
