A Good Run!


I started my day off at GPP with Bi’s, Tri’s and Abs. My wrist was bugging me a little bit, and my traps are sore from overhead presses yesterday. Guess I deserved that. I also didn’t’ think I had the strength to use #65 for skull crushers. Good thing I had crazy friends that pushed me to prove myself wrong.

I had a quick protein shake post workout, and for breakfast I made some eggs with veggies.

Lunch came quick, after coaching the GPP kids class and a grocery run.
I chomped on a apple on the way home from the grocery store and tossed some chicken and veggies on a plate and heated it up for a quick meal once I walked through the door.

I headed out for a run tonight, GOOD NEWS! My quad didn’t hurt! It was the same 5 miles I did two weeks ago. It is a hilly run, and this was the first time in the past month that I really pushed myself for speed and it didn’t bother my quad! A little extra ice, rolling and rest seems to have done the trick!

Side note: I LOVE my Brooks Pure Cadence running shoes! That is no secret.

I love this run, and this view is why.

When I got home form the run, I made eggs for dinner. A little lazy I know, but I wanted some protein quick and didn’t feel like whipping up a big dinner. Per usual summer night.

    1. I was semi shocked.. I kind of went into the run planning on stopping and walking back to my car.. Never had to! I saw your wifey driving by while I was running!
