The day started off with yummy eggs and veggies while we caught up on the latest episode of "The Real World." That show is soooo stupid that I have to watch it.
Then it was time to hit the gym. Instead of being a lazy bum, I decided I would run to the gym. This idea spurred the idea of having the hubby take action photos. It didn't go well. I look like a crazy person when running. But here is the best take. We'll have to work on this.
The 2.5 mile run was a good warm up for my weight workout, as well as a good way to loosen up some sore muscles. After completing my workout, the hubby wasn't quite ready to go. So crazy person that I am I jumped on the treadmill. It wasn't a long run yet it was fantastic.
I alternated running at 5 mph for 1 min. then 8 mph for 30 sec. It was crazy to see that by the end 5mph felt sooo slow to me and 8mph felt good. It was a total confidence booster! To be honest when I set the treadmill to 8mph the first time I was a little uneasy. But hey, it was only for 30 sec. at a time. But it's good to know that my body is able to run that fast. I felt strong. Like really strong. Like wonder woman.
What makes you feel strong? A specific workout, a certain distance?
Ha! You and I really are like two peas in a pod sometimes! My gym is only about 2.5 miles away as well, and occasionally I'll run there pre-workout. I totally *meant* to do that this morning! Whoops! :). I've tried 8.0 for 30 seconds at a time as well, and I felt like a total rockstar after.
