Wii

Got the new Just Dance 2 game and played for a good hour or so. Probably should not count this as working out, but I surely broke a sweat.

Run

Went on a morning run in my old neighborhood with my sister. We took it pretty easy and walked the last .7 miles. The loops you see between mile 2 and 3 were done at the middle school track.

Home Workout

Tracy Anderson's Mat Workout DVD is an ass kicker...especially the standing arm exercises.

Slacker!!

I wish I could say that I was having computer problems and that's the reason I haven't posted in the past few days...but truth is I haven't worked out in since Friday!! To make matters worse, I haven't been eating well either. Tsk tsk tsk.

Oh the shame

I had to make up for it today. I ran before dinner (so I couldn't use the excuse that it was dark out or the gym was closed).

My phone died partway through my run, so I'm guess-ta-mating my total distance.

Distance: 3.5 mi
Duration: 49 min

What my run looked like before my phone gave up

I downloaded a bunch of running tracks from a website called Pod Runner. Coincidentally, they obtain their music from my brother's company, Beatport. There are tracks with a single BPM (beat per min) throughout or interval mixes that has alternating speeds for someone to run/walk to. This is what I listened to today: "APositive Spin" 142 BPM I think it was a little slow for the pace I was going at, but the techno-ish music is perfect for working out.

Run

It felt good to run outside today. I was able to keep a good pace and ran without breaking to stop or walk. I probably would have gone a bit longer, but the sun went down a lot sooner than I expected.

Yoga

1 hr of yoga at home with Rodney Yee's Power Yoga DVD.

Gym

Couldn't make it to the gym in a timely manner....Glee was on TV! By the time I got there, I only had an hour before our community gym closed. I squeezed in a run and some weights.

Distance - 1.5 mi
Duration - 22 min

3 sets of 10 reps of the following:
Lat pull downs 30lbs
Mid Rows 30lbs
Bench press 20lbs
Bicep curls 10 lbs

Incline/Hike

I was determined to do the Incline and had no one to go with, so I went by myself! This was my 5th time ascending the mile of steps. I'm happy to report that I finished in one piece and achieved a personal record of 60 minutes!




I walked/jogged down the Barr Trail from the top of the Incline back down to my car.
