First, thank you everyone for sympathizing or empathizing with me yesterday. I'm still pondering how to knuckle under, but it's good to know I'm not the only lazy runner.
Yesterday's Workout With My Trainer:
Warm up stretches (inch worms, twisting lunges, roman dead lifts, bridges, scissors, planks, and chest raises)
x4
30 seconds on the ropes, on my knees
15 (per side) split squats
15 squat to overhead rows
2 minutes on the treadmill, 4.5mph, 12.5 incline
x3
10 banded pull ups
15 (per side) low to high wood choppers
2 minutes on the treadmill pushing the tread
This morning I was up at 6:30 (I hate my body), but I was prepared. Before I had a chance to waffle I was in workout clothes, dragging the dog out the door. He's been a shitty running partner lately. I drag him the last few blocks home. Poor guy. After a mile with him I hopped on the treadmill and fucked around for another 3 miles. It wasn't the worst run ever, but I swear, a 7:53 pace this morning felt harder than last week's 6:26 pace. I hate morning running.
Don't fret. I promptly rewarded myself with a McDonald's breakfast. And two large cups of their sweet tea. If I lived in the South I'd be carrying around a midget's worth of extra pounds from sweet tea alone. That shit is delicious. I don't usually allow myself to make it at home, the same way I have a "no home bacon" rule, because I will sit and drink a gallon over the course of a few hours. And, sure, I work out a lot, and will burn most of it off, but it's still not GOOD for you. Not all the time, at least. This morning it's fucking great for me, yo.
Since it's been a while, here is a picture.

I HATE morning running too......... Damn summer heat, damn winter cold.......
ReplyDeleteSweet tea is delish. I had a cookie for breakfast. Almost as good?
ReplyDeleteThe one good thing about the heat is that I can kick my dog's ass when we run together. Usually he's looking back at me like, "When are we gonna start running?" while I'm about to have a coronary...but not in the heat.
ReplyDeleteSweet tea is amazing. I do the same thing - I'll get it if I go out, but having it at home is just not a good idea. That stuff is pure sugar deliciousness.
ReplyDeleteI should take my own advice, I managed to sleep through 2 alarms yesterday .... WHAT is MY problem!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis summer heat in the Northeast is killing me and making my legs feel like I'm dragging tons of bricks. BUT I know once I get going, I'm ok and happy that it's over! BTW...post titles?? No method to my madness...whatever I feel to grab someone's attention...Ha! ha!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand tea of any variety - unless it is from Long Island.
ReplyDeleteI miss your ass.
And the rest of you too, I guess.
Remember that one time you had a blog? That was fun.
ReplyDeleteI miss updates. I can barely even remember what your ass looks like anymore.
ha!
DeleteI just came looking for the same thing. Hope all is well.
Dude? Are you ok out there? You haven't popped up in my blog reader lately, I hope everything is ok!
