Well waking up to a foot of snow in October wasnt what I was expecting to do this morning! But I got my snow gear on and shoveled the driveway with ge husband. Immediately I felt the burn in my arms and shoulders from boot camp! Hank the wonder dog LoVED the snow as well!! He is just like a little kid in it! and probably ate half of the snow in the back yard.
After we got our power back and I called and checked what time the gym closes I headed down for my Sunday run. I haven't been to the gym on a Sunday in well over a year!! But, I knew I had to break the streak, since I'll be spending many Sunday's there in the upcoming months. It was actually a really great workout! I decided to run a little further since I hadnt run since Wednesday and only had 2 boot camp classes. I ran at 6.5 for 40 minutes instead of my 32 for the week. I ended up getting 4.18 miles so I was pleased with that. And I actually felt like I could keep going. BUT according to the holy Grail you do not want to over train. "that's a big no no too daffy" (remember that commercial about fire saftey?!) hahah. I also walked for about 20 minutes as well so I could read a Runner's World magazine.
So this a total change of subject, but has anyone used Shakeology from BeachBody? I have done the Insanity workouts and they always say how amazing the shakes are. I follow a BeachBody coach on Facebook and she is always posting videos about the shakes. I guess they have 20grams of pure protein and a bunch of other healthy for you stuff. It is a little pricey but the coach says it breaks down to $4 a day for a month, not bad at all if you look at it that way right? Ohhh! And then I saw a picture a guy posted on the BeachBody website that showed his calorie burn from a workout on a watch gadget!! I want one of those bad boys!!! Gotta do some research for all of this healthy for you way of life I guess... Does anyone in the running world have any advise?? I'm all ears :)
