Last Friday I had it in my head that it would be that day. Unfortunately with my head cold moving to my chest I was not really healthy enough to give it my all. My body needed rest. So after working all weekend and feeling much better, I decided Monday morning would be that day.
5:00 am I got up and went to the gym where I did strength training:
- 150 crunches on a yoga ball
- 5# arm curls 12 x 3
- 5# arm extensions 12 x 3
- 50 squats with 5# weight, I would squat down stand and raise the weights over my head and repeat
- leg press 180# 12 x 3
- donkey kicks 70# 10 x 3
- leg extensions 70# 12 x 3
- leg curls 70# 12 x 3
- ran 2 miles
- ran 1 mile of hills
View from the top: (I actually thought TWICE while I was running these, this is fun!! I must have needed the change in my monotonous routine).
Like a boss!! I'm pretty proud of myself!:
I came home, made P breakfast "because she was starving." Then I rolled and stretched my little heart out and my legs of course. Took a hot shower and made myself breakfast. It was 8oz tart cherry juice, 2 pieces of GF toast, one with pb and one with ab. A cup of fruit, blueberries/raspberries with a little bit of strawberry yogurt at the bottom. YUM!:
I wanted to "earn" my rest day tomorrow and I'd say I did a pretty good job of it!
*How many days a week do you do hills?
