Oh how I wish I had kept running after the first two miles (Courtney up for school), first mile was quicker than usual---8:40 and it was so cold. Had to wear my ear warmers, tights and gloves etc... Well coming inside I melted but I had this notion to do my planks (2 sets of 90, 45, 45) which I did x 2. Wait for Courtney to leave for school. Done. Then run two more miles before the other two got out of bed. Done. Well....I decided to do "circuit like" arm training mixed with all the 2 milers. This work out was tougher than yesterday. My legs weren't sore just my arms. AND I was feeling dizzy after the first two sets of 2 miles. So this is what ended up happening (and it won't again anytime soon, it kicked my TUSHY!!):
2 miles @ 8:24 AP.
Planks two sets, 90, 45,45 seconds (front,side,side)
2 miles @ 8:10 AP.
Pushups: 12, 17, 13, 11 (was supposed to do 13), 10 (supposed to do 17, yah right!!) I was feeling weak and dizzy.
2 miles @ 8:08 AP
Weights upper body: laterals (two types), overhead shoulder press, triceps (two types, biceps (two types), rows, and bench press. Two sets of 12.
2 miles@ 8:11 AP. Holy Flip!! I was starving by the end!! I started this work out at 7:20 and finished it at 9:20am. It was cold. The sun didn't help my sweat thaw as my gloves were wet from previous runs. Seriously worked hard. Legs feel normal however. I got to do some lower body to off set this heaviness I am feeling in my arms!! I had eaten at 550am so I guess it was too much for me during my run. I was burping and got heartburn during the run. It was kind of uncomfortable. I would have been better off starting my run at 915 am when my kids had left then doing this kind of workout. NEVER AGAIN!! Can't wait for daylight savings when 6am will be really like 7am and I can get out earlier before Courtney even gets up. : D. |
