......where your cardio/body strength is at it's perfect level and working out isn't so hard? Where the hell is it? I've lost it years ago and I cannot find it. I recall 10 years ago or more doing the Hi-Tech Adventure Race in Winding Trails. Grigs, my husband and I were a team and we would train at the West Hartford Resevoir. We would mountain bike 15 miles and trail run about 6 - 8 miles. I did it! And I remember finding that "runners high" that people always talk about. I want that damn feeling again and it's taking me way too long to find it.
Two days at work have gone by and I really did need it this week. It was nice to getaway from the kids and the house and sit at a desk. Even though I do not like sitting long, I embraced it this week.
Yesterday WOD - 400m sprint, 20 box jumps, 20 wall balls 5X's. I had the treadmill set at 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 and 8.6 (throw up speed for me) and I only used an 8lb medicine ball for the wall balls. I could have gone heavier but I wimped out. I didn't sprint my fastest right away because with the two spin classes under my belt from Wednesday my legs were very tired. Everything seems to be for time and right now I'm not really timing myself too much. I'm going to give myself the month of January to get used to this crazy crap and then I'll go crazy in February.
Today WOD - My mind has been going crazy with "hard, hard, hard, busy, busy, busy, fast, fast, fast" this week that I have no room to breath. So I decided to detour off my workout sheet and take a power yoga class instead. I really needed the deep breathing, stretching but I could have done without the crazy push-ups/squats etc. My mind was not focused and I was not relaxing the way I would have liked. My body is so sore that every movement was tiring and somewhat painful. Doesn't sound like a relaxing yoga class does it!
Food - Did really well yesterday but I did find some mint patties in the freezer when I was cleaning up after supper last night. There were three of them and they were small but I did indulge and ate all three. Today is another good day of eating. I tried the almond milk in my protein shake today and I had a hard boiled egg for a snack along with ham/cheese roll ups, carrots with hummus, strawberries and a yogurt for lunch. I have a party to go to tomorrow night and I may just have some dessert. I haven't decided yet! I will be riding for two hours tomorrow so why not give myself a damn brownie for a treat. I think I deserve it.
