Date Night at the Gym & A Leg Burner Circuit Workout
I originally had mile repeats scheduled for this morning but the forecast got the workout pushed back until tomorrow and today is now a rest day! It is supposed to be in the single digits today and my coach (and I) would like to get away from doing all of my workouts on the treadmill like has been happening recently.
Since my workout isn’t this morning I headed to the gym with Henri after work last night. Running 3 miles next to my bestest friend in the whole world is always a good time.
Henri is going on 5 month in a row of consistent running – he’s backed off the hard workouts recently because he doesn’t have any races on the horizen but he still gets in 2-3 easy runs plus a long run each week. I love that we get to share running again… it brings me back to how everything started!
After our run Henri did some weights and I did this little circuit workout that I’ve been loving the past few weeks. It make my legs burn like jello but I also know it’s making me faster and more powerful!
I’m really on a roll when it comes to not charging my new Bluetooth headphones. My parents got me a pair of JayBird Freedom Sprint headphones for Christmas and I haven’t quite got in the habit of charging them every day… I’m pretty sure the battery has died on me every.single.time I’ve gone to the gym over the past 2 weeks and last night was no different. ha
Oh, and the jacket that’s making a bit of an appearance in the above photo is an old warm-up jacket from college XC. I found it when I was digging through some boxes looking for warm running clothes and I’ve worn it everyday since… oh college memories!
We came home from the gym to deconstructed chicken fajitas that my mom made – the best part about living at home right now is dinner ready right when we get home from a last night gym sesh. I swear there’s a big pile of chicken under all that salsa and cheese 😉
My sister and her boyfriend are on vacation in Florida this week and yesterday was her dog’s birthday. She asked me to make sure he got a special treat so OF COURSE I had to give him a little vanilla ice cream. Happy 2nd Birthday Ollie! 😀
When I was grabbing his ice cream out of the freezer I found THIS deliciousness. My sisters have really good taste!
Rest day for me today! Woot woot!
Are you a morning or an evening gym person?
If you have a dog what is their favorite treat?
What is your favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor?? My absolute favorite is Oatmeal Cookie Chunk but that one is discontinued now 🙁 , so my favorite that I can actually eat in Cinnamon Bun.
