TGIF !

Today my training was with Mark. This guy gives you a great workout and pushes you to do more than you think you can. And so why do I like this punishment ? It was upper body and just when I thought I would be done he had one more exercise for me to try. At one point I thought I was going to be sick and the sweat was dripping off me. Finally the 30 minutes is up and then he says " Are you going to go do cardio ?" Oh sure I replied. What am I crazy or has the Texas heat finally cooked my brain. It's Friday I thought and tomorrow is a rest day so why not go do a little cardio. I finished off my workout with 20 minutes on the bike. Tomorrow, nothing!

COOL OFF

Amy said my picture of the cake made her hungry, maybe a picture of the Colorado River will cool her off.
I was at the gym today to do my HIIT, it seemed harder for some reason. I don't know if it was the time of day or just the heat ( but I was inside) that made it hard. I did finish.
Total miles 2

PIECE OF CAKE

Today was lower body and it seemed like a piece of cake. I breezed through all the muscle groups and even threw in a few extras. When I had finished I did 20 minutes on the elliptical . Before leaving the gym I made an appointment to train with Mark on Friday.

WAITING AT HOME

Okay the weatherman said it was 73 out and when I went to get the paper it seemed cool. Great! I could finally have a run outside. I forgot that I have been running inside, in air conditioning, without humidity and no sun shinning on me and on a flat surface.
I don't know how those girls in Florida do it. It was really hard and I sucked. However I didn't quit and go home I stayed with it and did 4.5 miles. The one thing that kept me going was knowing that when I got home I could jump in the pool, and I did , with clothes on!

LAZY LAZY

Some how Mondays always seem hard for me to get moving. I know what I have to do but doing it is the difficult part. I had upper body weights to do at the gym. It was getting up there that was the problem. I read Amy's blog, she got her workout in and I'm sure that Jenny and Mark did theirs. I washed the kitchen floor, I folded clothes, I cleaned the kitchen and finally I went to the gym.

SUNDAY HIIT

Last night I laid out all my running clothes in hopes that it would be slightly cooler in the morning and I could do my run outside. When I awoke it was cooler but this was caused by the rain that was coming down. After waiting several hours to see if it would quit I finally thew in the towel and headed to the gym.
I did a total of 35 minutes on the treadmill with 20 minutes of HIIT. I stayed with the same paces I used earlier in the week.

4th of July

Where ever you are
What ever you're doing
Have a safe and happy 4th !
