Where's the Beach?

Weights The sun is coming up earlier, and I am finding myself mostly awake right at 6 am these past few days. If this trend keeps up, I'm thinking early morning runs will be on the books soon, especially with summer temps. I did my weight workout at lunch today. It was 2 sets of 12 reps.

I was a little disappointed as it was a really pretty day. It's getting harder and harder for me to want to do cardio indoors. I really didn't feel up to plyo to be honest, laziness taking hold, but I did opt for a an intense step workout that is made up of a sh...
