Friday was a busy busy day. I started out bright and early 6 am at the gym with Manda and SB for a quick warm up on the bike and then about 30 minutes for the weight machines. I focused on the arms and abs. Definitely felt it a bit today especially by Triceps. After school I met up with my Dad, Manda and SB for a run in my new shoes. I didn’t plan on it being as long as it was but I forgot the mileage of the loop we did when I picked the loop. So I survived 3.8 miles in my new shoes. The longest run I’ve done since my half marathon in September. It felt good although my big toes were a little sore and so were my inner thighs. I need to work on strengthening them up a bit. I think I may go ahead and get another pair of the Brooks Adrenaline and switch back and forth between those and the WaveRiders. Maybe then I can even things out but not wear out one part of my legs versus another part. I was so exhausted when I got home that I feel asleep on the couch at 7:30 got up at 11:30 got ready for bed and was back asleep by 12:15!
Today I had a wonderful “date morning” with my husband. We ran quite a few errands together – a total of 10 stops. But it was nice to get out together. Usually I end up running the errands myself. We even stopped for Little Caesar’s pizza. We haven’t had that in years and since a new shop opened up we thought we would try it. We still vote Pizza Hut pizza our favorite though.
I just got done doing a great hour long Pilates and Yoga workout. I got three new DVD’s which I will share with reviews later this week. I did 40 mins of Yoga for Stress relief and then two Pilates sessions for abs and stretching. I love Yoga and Pilates. I feel so good when I am done and about two inches taller!! Now it is time for a quick little nap before I begin tackling some of this dirt and dog hair that is covering my house!!!
QOTD: Do you have a favorite workout DVD?
