The day starts with this:
A big ol’ drink with my all-time favorite pre-workout fuel, Razor 8. Ohmygosh y’all, I swear my this stuff (I’m starting to say ‘y’all’ too much because of The Bachelorette. Grr). But really, it gives me the best oompf I need before I workout and there are no jitters or crash afterwards… Just the best!
On to the workout. Another day on the treadmill. I am starting to fall back in love with the treadmill. Like, I hug the machine after I’m done. Yesterday’s session looked like this:
Warm up: 5 minutes at moderate pace
0-5 run
5-6 walk at brisk pace
6-10 run
10-11 walk at brisk pace
11-14 run
14-15 walk at brisk pace
(my ‘walk’ was at 4.0mph and I varied my run from 6.0-7.0mph)
-Then, I did a squat series. With a body bar on my shoulders, I did 10 front split squats, 10 side split squats, and 10 reverse split squats. On each leg.
-Back to the treadmill for another 15 minute set (same as above)
-another squat set
-3rd set on the treadmill. Add a 5 minute cool down.
DONE
It was a fantastic sweat session. So fantastic, that I talked Tyler’s ear off about how great I felt afterward. Better that than bitch and moan to him!
And on to more randomness…
*Oo oo oo! I got my foodie penpal package yesterday, but I can’t share with you until the 30th, so watch out for that post!
Layla was a pooped dog last night. We took a long walk and chased bunnies and woofed and sniffed and rolled in the grass. And my we, I mean just Layla. I was tempted to woof though.
I got $115 back from Geico yesterday (for returning my MA plates) and I am seriously contemplating a trip to Lululemon. I’ve already done my research and know what I want. Is that bad….?
***Leave me a comment. About anything. I’m in the mood to hear some randomness from readers.***
I’m not good at being random. Have you seen the show Girls from HBO? I heard about it from Ashley Taylor and a bunch of other people so I finally caved and ordered HBO (I’m contemplating also trying True Blood). I think you would really like it if you have easy access to HBO!
I’ve got it saved on my TV..will have to start it soon!
Ashley, I’ve heard Girls is good too! But I haven’t seen it yet.
Jen — you already know how much I love that squat series! But I haven’t done it in a while — maybe time to bring it back?
Yes! I’m trying to find a way to make it harder. Suggestions?
