{Who does 2 a day full-body workouts and then runs the next day?}

Apparently, this girl.

Sunday, I barely made it to the BodyPump class. 

Barely.

When I got there I was #8 (and the last one) on the wait list.
I wrote about this workout here though.

Later that night, I found a full-body workout on Pinterest.
{Feel free to Follow Me on the good ole Pinterest.}

So, I headed to my work gym since it was Prison Yard time (you know, the time where everyone and there mother is at the gym) at all my favorite gyms.

I only did this workout once instead of the suggested twice.
After just one round, my entire body was shaking and I'd reached muscle failure.
I did find out I'd reached muscle failure when I attempted to do it twice.



Yesterday, was C25K day. However, because of the ridiculous amounts of snow dumped on us this past Saturday and a little on Sunday, none of my trails outside were clear.
Dreadmill it is then.

Instead of following C25K on the dreadmill, because it sucks balls, I decided to just run it out.
I ran at a 12:00 pace for 20 minutes straight. 
After that, my head got the better of me and I decreased it to 4.3 (I didn't even look to see what that pace is, just know this: slow). I even walked for a minute. I finished slow, but only walked a minute.
I'm okay with that. My body hurt from the day before.

You can't really tell from the picture but my face was extremely red after this run.
It also seemed fitting that the first song Pandora played from the "Hard Rock Strength Training" station was Another Way to Die
I also went back to work last night after being off on vacation for 7 full days.
I sit at a desk for 12 hours. 
I can't get away for long.
Quick breaks here and there.
Do you know what sitting for 12 hours does to your body after working out like that 2 days in a row?
It hurts.
I was in so much pain last night.
Like I knew I needed to stretch but that stretching would hurt also.



It was a good pain though.
A pain I'm proud of.

Today, I decided to make my "off" day.
I'll hit it back up Wednesday night at our work gym with a co-worker for Upper body & Cardio.

Saturday is the 3rd 5k race of my goal {One 5k Race A Month for 12 Months}
It's the Bunny Bolt.
I'm pretty excited.
It's been forever since my last 5k race!

I'm also craving Reese's Cups!! o_O
Thank you, monthly friend.
It makes me happy to know you remind me each month that you are indeed there for me.

    1. Thanks, Gi! I appreciate the kind words. I actually got the idea from another blogger to do one 5K race a month for 12 months. I thought it'd keep me on track to running more and it has. :)

  2. Whew, that made me tired! I have never heard anyone call the witching hour at the gym...Prison Yard Time. Hilarious (and don't mind if I use that, too). I did one of those Pinterest workouts once and I was sweating bullets after 15 minutes. It said do it three times and I could only get through two rounds. Way to go!
    I'm finally stopping by from Spring Training!
