Gym is Open (Weekend)

The gym is open for the weekend!  Feel free to post all the fun things you did (or plan to do) to move your body this weekend. Kix

I'm having a much more mellow weekend than expected because of this *&%$ weather. The storm in the mountains stopped me from snowshoeing yesterday, so I figured I would go for a hike close to town. I got out of the car and was practically blown across the parking lot it was so windy! So, I instead opted to do my usual workout - 10 minutes of walking warmup, 30 minutes of weights and 35 minutes of the killer sprints. Man, those sprints really work me over. Today I plan on doing a long run - at least 4 miles. I might try to go longer if I feel up to it, we'll see how the legs feel. I can't believe I am going to say this, but I'm ready for school to start. I enjoy a break for a while but I do better with a busy schedule. My study partner and I are going to start meeting weekly to review everything and make sure we are ready for the next round - I'm really looking forward to using my brain again

I got home late last night and wasn't able to post my exercise. I did 30 minutes on the inline machine, 15 minutes on the treadmill, 9 of those at a 9% incline, and a boatload of weight machines.  All in all, I got in about 75 minutes of exercise total. I'm not planning any formal exercise today, we're going up to Boulder.  I will do some walking, and when I come home, I may take a quick walk up our hill to get in some cardio. The wind certainly was something!  It was almost howling on my side of town -- we ran a bunch of errands yesterday and a couple of times the wind nearly blew me out of the car as I opened the door.  When it's quite windy, our garage door makes a noise that sounds like a cow giving birth. I mentioned earlier that I wasn't going to go back to school, but Red Rocks has a monthly tuition plan, so I have no valid excuse (I was telling myself I couldn't afford the $450 for my class).  How can I not go when it only costs $80/month?  My class doesn't start until the 21st, though.  I am looking forward to learning more about Emergency Management and Planning.  Kix

Woohoo, way to go! That's very impressive hon, keep it up! And have fun in Boulder - you deserve it. It is so beautiful today that I imagine Boulder would be a great place to walk around. I did my 4 miles but that was it, and I barely did 4. The last 1/2 mile was killer and I seriously wanted to quit, but I kept giving myself little goals to try and get myself to the end. My whole body felt whipped and beaten the entire time. After that I walked around our park and just enjoyed the sun - it felt so good and helped my legs recover from their jello feeling. And those stretches felt soooo good too - if stretches burned as many calories as running I could easily do an hour of them!
