It's Raining, It's Pouring!

Because it was about 92 degrees and so humid that I couldn't hardly breath at 2:00 pm, my hubby and I decided today would be a gym day.  I really didn't want to go to the gym because I have been enjoying running with my Garmin so much!  But, I could use a flat run because every one of my runs outside are hills, hills, and more hills.
Getting ready for the gym.  Thanks for the photo Jerry!  HA!


At the gym, I ran a nice easy 5 miles at an 8:34 pace.  No hills and no speed work!  Then I did some leg and arm machines.  I'm so glad when I have a gym buddy!!    Jerry threw a 6 lb weighted ball to me on a slanted bench to work my abs and obliques.  I love this ab exercise because I think it's fun!  I think I'm ready to increase my weight to 8 or 10 lbs because it didn't feel like a challenge anymore. 
I didn't even notice that the bottom fell out of the sky while we were at the gym.  It was nice to feel the cool rain after getting so sweaty! 
Oh, and do you like my new tie-dye top?  I do! 


Post workout, I ate some Greek yogurt with honey and some Dunkin Doughnut cinnamon coffee.  For dinner, we are cooking southwestern style eggs.  I could eat breakfast foods all day long!
Official Disney Marathon training starts September 20 and I'm so excited!  I made a calendar last night and got a little clip art crazy.  It's cute though and I'm proud of it.  I am so glad that Calee is doing it with me!  Unfortunately, she lives in Tuscaloosa.  I wish she was closer.

Are you enjoying your sweaty, sticky, rainy, HOT summer days?  Who is ready for fall weather?

  9. I'm ready for spring weather! 1 September is officially Spring Day here by me. This whole other side of the planet season thing can be confusing.

  10. Just thought this was cool: we both read Aura's blog, we are both Leah B.'s and you have a post called "Back to life", I have one called "getting back to life". I love little coincidences like that.
