I got to the gym early to make sure I could get a stair climber. Hooray...I was able to get one. The stair climber doesn't seem to irritate my thigh as much as running. But I feel like I am getting a good cardio workout (personally, I think it is just as hard as running) and I am still getting impact on the legs. My 5 miles on the stair climber were hard today versus yesterday's "it felt great" workout. My breathing was labored and the miles seemed to drag by. I was sweating so much that I was starting to get embarrassed. GROSS!!!! I wanted to try some burpees today....HOLY HARDNESS!!! I could only do 7 for each set. I was probably doing them wrong and looked like a total dork. 3x 7 burpess 45/45 side planks 10 butterfly arms 10 bench press 20 tri dips on workout bench 15 minutes of stretching and foam rolling 1 hour nap...awesome My son has been bugging me for months about running the turkey trot. I told him we had to wait and see what the weather was going to be like (last year it was 8 degrees). We signed him up last week for the 1/2 mile race. I took him to the HS track today and we ran 2 laps. I told him to go slow for the first lap and then to turn on the rockets for the 2nd. He did great! It is amazing to watch your child do a sport you REALLY love. I let him use my ipod...he said it made him run faster!
