For this round of half marathon training, I decided that I wanted to incorporate more things than just running. I wanted to add weights, arms, lunges (gasp!) and abs. With this in mind, last Monday was my first go at it.
I did legs and back. My workout consisted of lat pull downs, multiple kinds of rows, squats, lunges and plie squats. I had planned on doing 3 sets of 15 reps of everything and only managed to get 2 sets done but I was TOAST!!
I woke up Tuesday morning and could.not.move! I was doing the hobble/wobble/walk thing until Thursday! I even tried to run/walk on the treadmill on Wednesday to try and shake my legs out with no luck. By Friday, I was back to normal and was able to do 6 miles Saturday morning.
As far as food goes, I was ambitious and made a breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage for the week as well as a dinner/ lunch meal. For my dinner meal, I made shake n bake chicken tenders and roasted carrots and rutabagas.

In addition to my other expeditions, I have been working on my yard. It had these baby trees surrounding my back patio. I kept them to hide my motorcycle but since I've decided to sell my motorcycle b/c I don't have a garage, I don't need the trees anymore. I've been slowing hacking them down with a pair of lawn laupers and finally finished!

Also, this week I finally tried my new pair of running pants. They are 2XU brand and I got them for $35 instead of $80 with an ACTIVE deal. They were quite comfy and light. I did leg work in them yesterday and they were nice. We'll see how they do on a run. They are 7/8 length which was perfect for my stumpy legs!
Today is election day and I voted. I'm not sure why but I love these little stickers!!
Since I am able to walk today after my Monday leg workout, I'm hopefull that the hobble/wobbles are behind me until I mix things up again. I took today off from the gym and watched V for Vendetta since it is November 5th after all. Remember, remember!
What kinds of things do you do besides running? Any favorite moves?
yard work always makes me crazy sore, doesn't seem to matter what kind it is!
