black is my workout color this week

Wednesday was a strength training kinda morning. I went to the gym and luckily was not a creeper this time. I got there right at 5:00 am, worked out for 45 mins then headed home to get ready for work: (this is me not sporting a running skirt! LOL I kinda wear them a lot but I wasn't running so the morning didn't call for it)

I ran outside (not literally) to get this picture of the sunrise from our back porch. I don't know why but I just love them!

Workout round up:

• over head weighted squats x 50
• crunches x 200
• free weights: arm extensions, curls, and press 3 x 12
• leg press 2 x 180# and 1 x 200#
• donkey kicks 3 x 12 @ 70#
• leg extensions 3 x 12 @ 75#
• leg curls 3 x 12 @ 75#

Thursday..I almost talked myself out of going to the gym, but I wanted to get my run in before work: (running shirt in FULL force!)

I ran 3 miles at a 10:35 mile/hr pace. It was a nice easy run. It was appreciated:

This was the sunrise from the gym parking lot:

I went to work and did not forget my compression socks, which I am happy about. I do wish, however, I would have worn compression shorts under my scrubs because my hips are been sore. I think it's because of all the treadmill pounding. 

Running round up:

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: 4 miles

Wednesday: strength

Thursday: 3 miles

Friday: (my plan) 4-6 miles

Saturday rest

Sunday: 5-7 miles
