TGIF

Run: 2 miles
Time: 25
Mood: Sucking wind

I've posted before about how quickly your body can detrain when you take a hiatus, so it should have been no surprise to me when my legs revolted.

Yet I still found myself surprised/disappointed.

Such is life.

Did two miles on the treadmill. I stopped and walked a few times (hence the slow time), but overall enjoyed it. I put the speed between a 9 and 12-minute-mile. Pretty sure the guy on the treadmill next to me was playing the air drums while running. To each their own.

I don't know if I'm getting back into running - I'm not training for anything...yet.

But I'm gettin' the itch to sign up for something.

Perhaps a 10K?

Snowy Saturday

Well, I did it folks. I got Scott to shred with me. I think he has a little more respect for DVD workouts now. :)

That's pretty much all for the updates.

Oh, and I lost my hand-weights in the move. Go figure.

Adios Mexico

Cabo was a dream. When I woke up, I was back in wintry Washington, D.C. - fatter and happier.

We actually did go to the gym one morning in Cabo, but we stayed away the rest of the time. We did other workout-ish things like sea kayaking (talk about killer arm work), horseback riding, walking, etc.

Now it's back to reality. And to over-packed gyms. I tried to get a treadmill Monday to no avail, but I managed to get a good 40 in on the elliptical, kept it within my target heart zone.

The lovely Emily loaned me Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred DVD. They are 20 minute workouts, but I wanted to die after anyway. It's strength with plyo-cardio. And I'm pleasantly sore today.

Gonna see if I can convince Scott to shred with me tonight.

Ole!

Well, we're off to Mexico next week. And I find myself wondering why we decided to go right AFTER the holidays. When everyone has at least 7 pounds to lose.

Started cross training again, working with Scott. We've been integrating some cross-fit into our workouts, and it's been hard to walk after. Which is a good thing.

Trying to get in a few more good sessions before Cabo while simultaneously avoiding the new-year-gym-crush that will be around for the next two weeks.
