Sometimes with these nasty days it is just easy to stay inside and not workout. However, these are the days that make us stronger. I decided to show the cold rain who is boss. Started out in my old shoes and my hip started hurting so I came back and switched into my trainers. Wow! As soons as I started running in my trainers, pain was non existent. This goes to show you how important good shoes are in training. I got in a half mile, switched shoes and then took off for an uptempo run. The next 5 miles was right at 7 min pace or sub 7. It felt pretty relaxed. I then ran a little over 2 miles at a normal pace. I got in at least 7.5, probably a little more. The rain didn't phase me a bit. I enjoyed it:-)
I then went to my boyfriends and cleaned out the highlander and did laundry. Then we hit the gym. I did high reps on legs:
Fwd/bad lunges across gym free wt.
5x20 leg ext. with 30 sec. Rest
5x20 prone ha,string curls with 30 sec. Rest
Fwd/bwd lunges across gym
6x20-10 stiff legged dead lifts upped weight as I went
Fwd/bwd lunges across gym
Trx 15 one legged squats on each leg superset with 30 tuck ins/ pike did this 3 times
Fwd/bwd lunges across gym
Bosu ab circuit
5x15 abductor machine

Woooooo! Legs were tired especially after already having a run on them.
Came home and made veggie spaghetti with the love of my life and then passed out on the couch. I was one tired girl!
