Guess what I get to do today?
I get to cross 1/3 from June goal #6 & I get to subtract 4-miles from June goal #21. Ahh Score!
Proof?
- most definitely not the most flattering photo as I am covered in sweat from head to tow! not kidding, I cropped this cause I looked like I was taking selfies in the shower
- 3-miles in 28:43. I started doing a pretty lesirely jog on 6mph but towards the last mile I varied between 7.0mph and 8mph
- the treadmill was set for 30-minutes so I reset the time after I hit the 3-mile mark [..and used this time to hydrate .. chettah:) ]
- Last mile I jogged on 6.0mph for the first half mile, 7.0 for the next quarter mile and 8.5mph for the last quarter mile
- I felt sick after this run
- I did 2-25 reps of slowwww chest extensions (24-lbs) after the treadmill
- I did 2-25 reps of tricep dip to foreman (24-lbs)
- I wish the calories burned were correct (ugh)
- I died
- after the gym I went to McDonald's for a tea
- after my tea I headed to Yin Yoga on Torbay Road (1:15)
- I wanna try different studios but I can't stop buying Shakti passes (I say it's my favourite yet I don't have anything to compare it to)
- Shakti offers a variety of classes
- see Here for a class schedule.
- just so you know
- I'm not one of those 'granola - lets sit and talk to someone from a higher power' kinda gals
- yoga actually soothes my mind (sounds laughable, I know)
- for me, yoga is one of the most relaxing practices I think I've ever tried
- the instructors speak to you in the most graceful tone and remind you of important life lessons
- the instructors read random quotes from all sorts of books during each class
- I learned last night that there is an online group called 'The Happy Society'
- an 8-month pregnant woman had more flexability than I did (Fail!) .. kidddingggg, I went after a gym session so it's an automatic WIN!
- I pulled muscles in two different areas of my legs and found tonight a struggle
- I'm pleased with myself :)
- I think I heart yoga
Tonight (Tuesday, June 11th, 2013)
So primarily, I had planned to take tonight (Tuesday) off from the gym but as I conclude this post ,I've gotten into quite the gym mood (ask me at 7pm). But no, seriously, there's <7-wks until the Tely 10 and I do not feel anywhere near ready. My running had gotten pretty intense there for a while but recently I haven't been as intense. Time to get at it, yes? Ahh yess :) I'll do that tonight!
Ps. I'm off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I'm hoping to:
1. do Signal Hill, Quidi Vidi and Octagon Pond >1 time each
2. clean the fridge
3. have supper with papa
4. bake
5. drink
6. blog
7. read
8. take a gym class
9. come to a conclusion as to if I should weigh myself, take a picture, post a picture and conquer. (yes, I wrote about not caring about the number and whatnot but there is a difference between under and over-weight)
10. Get 8-hrs of sleep / night
11. Shop for Father's Day
O happy happy daysss :)
What are your plans for the weekend? Any fitnesss goals? Anything fun? Anything at all?
Great post, Vic!
ReplyDeleteI love that you do yoga! I've tried the so called "yoga" classes at Goodlife but wasn't a fan. And I have also done the trial month at Moksha. I LOVED it, but the cost is just too pricey for me!! Is Shakti very expensive?? I would LOVE to try it out. I've never been so relaxed and motivated as when I would leave Moksha!
