Where's the Beach?

Morning Run & Noon Lifting Since it's gotten so hot and humid this week, Jason and I opted to go for a run this morning. We got up at about 5:40 then hit the pavement. It was muggy, but at least it wasn't sweltering. The temperature was already at 68 degrees though if that gives you an indication of how warm it is this week. We did a fairly easy run - it was still early and all. It was really nice to just be out moving. I did go home and do my weights at lunch as it was Upper with Plyo. Since I had run, I only did 4 plyo moves.

So I did a hodge podge workout that included the warm up and 3 cardio intervals from Cathe's Shock Cardio - Cardio Core Circuit then the 3 combos and drills from MMA Kickboxing . It was just shy of 50 minutes and a nice mix. I also did abs and stretched after work. Perfect Hot Summer Meal ...
