Monday Funday

Okay, today wasn't exactly a fun day, but it was just a typical day in the life of an 8-to-fiver.

I had a pretty good workout after work today. I hate Mondays at the gym- it's packed! CrossFit workouts are usually pretty crazy in that you're constantly moving between different machines. And since these workouts are typically timed, I hate waiting for someone to get off a machine that I was just on a second prior. I don't blame them, it's just the way it works, but it makes CrossFit workouts difficult.

I ended up running into one of Michael's clients who I also work with during the day. Since Michael's been gone, she's been telling me how she hasn't been working out and yada, yada. So, I offered to workout with her and push her a little. We ended up doing a workout I've done before, but I didn't time myself because I would wait and cheer her on in between sets.

3 rounds of:
25 kettlebell swings
25 back extensions (on ball)
25 knees to chest on captain's chair
25 sit ups on incline bench

It was tough, just not as much of a cardio workout as I'm used to since we took our time. She did awesome though and I could tell she was really pushing herself.

From there, I jumped on the treadmill and did my normal hill run-
12% incline
20 seconds, 10 seconds off- 8 times
6.7 mph

Last time, I did this workout at 6.6 on the thrill mill so I increased my speed just a tad. It was tough, but fun as usual. It's a super intense workout, but it's easy to push yourself through it since each round is only 20 seconds long--- it's difficult to make excuses for 20 seconds so I just suffer through it!

Unfortunately, my calf was bothering me again tonight so my wishful thinking from yesterday was short-lived. I'm going to roll it out tonight b/c that's really the only thing I know to do.

Another update is that tomorrow I'm taking a lot of my clothes to work!!! What does this mean? It means on Wednesday, I'll be biking to work! I'm soooo excited!! I decided to just give it a shot now and see how it goes. I have two weeks until Michael returns so I'm going to try it out for that time until I absolutely won't have a car or the option.

Now I'm at home and just relaxing, getting ready to take my pup for a walk.

Until tomorrow,
