Lets Blog... Shall We?!?!?!!!

Okay, I keep meaning to sit down and blog... but then I start reading everyone else's blogs, which I l-o-v-e doing and distraction sets in... it's all good :-)

Sunday - The team got together for a 45min. run through Kelso's trails. It was great, it's been a while since I've done trail running, I really missed it. I look forward to signing up for a couple of 5Peaks runs this year.
It was really, really great seeing the wonderful ladies that make up our team.
Susie brought us together, motivated us, which in turn helped us motivate one another.
We clapped, cheered and shouted words of encouragement as each person passed by.
It was such a great day out, mother nature was definitely on our side :-)

I got home feeling very energized. I ended up; cutting the grass, cleaning up the patio furniture, trimming a few branches.
Before you knew it, it was dinner time... where did the time go???
My wonderful husband made us BBQ and we went for a nice walk with the little bundles of joy.
I tell you by that point I felt like I was sleep walking.
All of a sudden it hit me... I need to sleep.
I ended up putting the kiddies to bed and going to bed too.
I think I fell asleep by 8:30pm... hahahahaaa, WOW that's early!!!

Monday - Even though I went to bed early last night, I still felt tired however, I knew I had to complete one of my strength training homeworks.
I stood in my basement watching the clock ticking by, wondering how I could talk myself out of working out this morning BUT, I couldn't do it.
I knew I had to kick it up a notch this week, so I couldn't skip today's workout.
I did the burpees, jump ups on the stairs, planks, squats, etc., etc.
It wasn't easy but, I did it :-)

Tuesday - I was soooooooooo looking forward to today's workout, why you might ask???
Because I LOVE running outside AND today I got to work on my speed... I definitely need work on that.
I went for a short run and then the fun began "interval training" a.k.a. sprinting :-)
I had to do ten reps of sprints for thirty seconds every three minutes... does that sound crazy? It is... that's what makes it FUN!!!
I'm telling you, the first sprint I did, I felt like the first day we did our group workout at LaSalle Park, when we did the suicide runs... I felt like puking... not a good feeling BUT, yes there is a but, you get over it :-)
If neighbours were looking out their windows, they must have been thinking who is she trying to get away from? I think I scared some of the early walkers as I flew by them huffing and puffing, smiling as I said "good morning".
YES... I completed another challenge... happy, happy, joy, joy!!!

P.S. Tomorrow will be a real challenge, as I tackle this week's homework.
This will include; push ups, lunges, squats, planks, etc.
Oh did I mention, in between each exercise we need to sprint fifteen metres 3x...
Good night... I got to go, tomorrow will be the start of yet another fun day :-)
