What a BEAUTIFUL Bellingham day today was!! It was sunny and lovely and I didn't have to work!! *Heaven!* I had a lovely day with Carlo - he helped me clean up around the house a bit, we each enjoyed a terrific breakfast, and then we went off to the dog park. I got to stand around and take him for a bit of a walk in the beautiful sunshine, and he got to SPRINT all over the park, getting every dog (and a child or two) chasing after him! Then we walked over to swim (he swam, I just got to get wet, thanks to his shakes!), and we walked part way around the lake together! So nice!
Then, off to run errands, which, thanks to Paleo, now involves stops at three different grocery stores. Not much change in the grocery bills, just changes in where I can obtain all of my Paleo yumminess.
Finally, it was time for my exercise. (Carlo stayed home for this part.)
Today was supposed to be a 5-rep max for Overhead Squat. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to get past my second round of 5 reps because my shoulder wouldn't hold more than 55# over my head. Argh! I finished out the sets by doing front squats, and ended up at 95# for my 5th 5-rep round. I'm still pretty sore from yesterday, but I'm pretty sure I could have gone higher. Maybe.
Second Helpings!!
We then got to spend 8 minutes doing as many rounds as possible of a 100 meter run followed by 10 box jumps on the 24" box. I'm not able to consistently get on the 24" box, so I did step-ups instead, but I made it through 8 rounds. And now my legs are tiirreeeddd!! I'm headed to bed now and quite looking forward to Mojo tomorrow!!
P.S.
Ladies, I KNOW that you have been exercising because I've heard a little about it and I've even witnessed some of it - I would love to see some blog posts about what you've been up to and how you've been doing!! (Consider the peer pressure session now over...) :)
