If ONLY There Were MORE HOURS In A Day!!!

Yes, if only there were more hours in the day BUT, I'll take what I can get.
Who am I to complain? It's all good :-)

SUNDAY - Met up with team and Susie at LaSalle Park. We were warned ahead of time to bring our heart rate monitors.
We had an awesome cardio workout today, with some strength training thrown in... JUST FOR FUN :-)
Before doing our cool-down, we did everyone's favourite... SUICIDES :-)
Thank GOD, Susie did not mention ahead of time that we would be doing FIVE sets of suicides!!!
After each set we would check our heart rate, I couldn't get mine past 170. As we paced around, Susie says: "Get ready, we're doing another set in 10, 9, 8,..."
Susie at one point during our heart rate check asked: "What does your heart rate say?" I responded: "Mine says: What the F*!K are you thinking???"
You think you're pushing yourself but you never know your limits until you work out in a group setting. It's a great way to motivate one another and help push us to our limits.

I have a running id bracelet... just in case I get lost and I need to be returned to my rightful owner ;-)
I crack me up...
Anyhow, on the bracelet I have written: "I think I can... I know I can..."
When ever I am running on my own and need that extra push, I look at my wrist and read my inspiration :-)

MONDAY - I didn't want to get out of bed... come on I'm sure we've all had one of those days... well mine was Monday, early morning.
Mind you, I look forward to my workouts because it starts my day and it gives me the energy I need to keep me going throughout the day until I get myself ready for zzzzzzzzzz land at night :-)

TUESDAY - I did our newest homework routine. Which consisted of, my favourite: BURPEES with push-ups and power ups, mountain climbers, squat jumps, then you had to do ten travelling push ups. Plyo jumps and tricep dips, one leg squats, planks, glutes. I also included sprinting 15m, 3x after each circuit... working on my speed... trying :-)
This routine was similar to what we also did on Sunday.
It was hard but, a lot of fun :-)

WEDNESDAY - Woke up this morning very anxious to get started on my run.
I thought instead of freaking the neighbours out with my running back and forth on the side walk, I would take my 30 sec. sprints around the neighbourhood and incorporate it in my jogging... what FUN :-)
The sky looked a little iffy when I got started.
I did my warm-up by jumping rope and running to the end of the block and back, did some stretches, and got started with my first of ten, thirty second sprints.
At the end of each sprint I would continue jogging around the neighbourhood.
I felt a few drops every now and then.
I kept thinking: "Please wait 'til I'm done".
Mother Nature was once again looking out and she held off until I got home.
It started coming down, pretty good as I was getting breakfast ready for the little sleepy bundles of joy :-)

Tomorrow is another fun strength training day...

Sunday the team is getting together for biking AND navigation... can we say: "YIKES?!?!?!!!"
I'm soooooo clumsy as it is, and I've proven that already a couple of times during our trainings.
I have not been on my bike since the last time we've been out together. I don't think I'll get a chance to get on until Sunday... just saying!!!
Keep fingers crossed that all goes well for all of us on Sunday, I'm nervous just thinking about it.
