Very very very hungover.

Went to the races yesterday. Drank all the champagne that ever existed.

On the plus side, I ate three slices of pizza for dinner which I never usually like, but I think they soaked up all the alcohol and gave me energy for a pretty good pool run today!

5 mins warmup, then 15 x (1 min hard, 1 min easy, 30 second hard, 30 sec easy), 10 mins cool down. 60 mins overall. Gettin it done.

Monday is usually a rest day but i really wanted to lift - weird feeling for me! Something has to replace running endorphins I guess.

10 mins elliptical (foot no hurty on this - yay!)

3 rounds:

back squats x 15 (barbell + 20kg)

swiss ball passovers x 15

walking lunges w 8kg dumbbells x 30

pushups x 20

Then 3 rounds of:

Single leg squats x 10 each side

Deadlifts - barbell plus 10kg (v light but am practicing form)

Side step ups to box x 20 each side

Single leg deadlifts w 12kg x 10 each side

 

Had one more superset but ran out of time!
