Got my hunny to join the PG rec center for the month for 25 dollars.  This way he has No excuses : D and I can get some TM runs in without slip sliding away outside in the ice and snow.  Plan followed pretty closely.  3 mile warm up at 9:07, 8:33, and 8:24 at 2 % grade.  Then ran 4 minutes at marathon pace (7:13, just a guess) and 2 minutes at 10k pace (6:44, again a guess), NO recovery,  repeated  x 7.  So 42 minutes at pretty nice pace.  This is a LT run.  One mile cool down at 8- 8:13.  Troy had been waiting patiently so went home with him and then did push ups on the ball:  12, 10, 7, 7,6 (60sec rest in between) and arms--flys, shoulder press, two biceps type curls, over the head triceps, planks (two times each side x 30 seconds), front plank (x 60 sec), ended with crunches 25 to the left, right, then center.  Amen.

NICE WORKOUT!!!! All of that x10, x30, x60----you are HARD CORE!!! Now, how do you find the energy with a full time job that keeps you up at all hours AND being a mom??? I can barely handle mu little part time afternoon job, being a mom, and getting in a decent workout. I am in burnt out mode big time.

Nice!

I have been a member of Golds Gym for over 7 years now, but we just bought a family rec center annual pass a couple of weeks ago. IT HAS BEEN AWESOME!!!!

Seriously, one of our best purchases ever!!!
