Today's workout

Today was a semi-productive kind of day. I got several things knocked off of my to-do list. Got home from work and just wanted to sit on my butt and get some stuff on computer done, but hubby asked me to go to gym and I couldn't say no to that, as I have been begging him to start going with me.
He is training for his 1st marathon - PF Changs Rock N Roll Arizona in January. With any luck the mother-in-law will be over visiting at this time and I will be able to sign up for the 1/2 (fingers crossed). I am proud of him as he is really sticking to his training schedule! Go Hubs!
So I only had 50 minutes to do a workout cause the kid care shuts at 9, so todays workout looked like this:
15 min on dreadmill. Did 1/2 mi non-stop at a 13:20 pace until I had to take off for the potty.
After that I hit the weights:
leg press: 110# 3 sets of 30
leg extension: 50# 2 sets of 15
lying leg curl: 40# 2 sets of 10
bicep curl: 50# 3 sets of 12
tricep extension: 40# 3 sets of 12
assisted pull-ups: 103# 3 sets of 5
assisted dips: 103# 3 sets of 10
lat pull-down: 60# 2 sets of 12
seated row: 50# 3 sets of 12
I could have pushed myself harder, but I am trying to "rest" my shoulders. I am still getting weird spasms between my shoulder blades. Hoping it will just go away...
Hubs did like 3.5 miles in 42 min.

My fastest mile & my fav TV shows are back!

So today I am SUPER DUPER excited that Biggest Loser Families & House start tonight !!!!

I lost my motivation to get up at 5:15 this morning to catch the early spin class, so I was hoping to catch the 5:45pm spin class tonight and I got there about 5 min late and the class was full :( So I dumped by bubs in the day care and decided to ride the recumbent bike for 30 minutes. After sweating my butt off for 30 minutes there I hopped on the dreadmill to do some intervals and see how quickly I could interval through a mile: 13:12, my best indoor mile time yet :) yeah me. Also I ran several longer intervals at 5 mph and still had the feeling of running slow, it seemed easy. Oh god I hope this is a sign of things to come, that I am right on the edge of not totally sucking at running any more. I feel a breakthru coming in the next month or two, you just watch!

So yesterday I dragged my dh to the gym, he ran for 45 min or so while I fussed with getting bubs into daycare and than I went to swim. It looked like this:
2x 25 warmup
2x 25 kick on side
2x25 gloves
1x 100 pull bouy
4x 100 freestyle
1x 400 freestyle
Total time about 31 min
Oh yeah and my stupid shoulder blades/upper back is still killing me!

Sunday I sat in bed all day with a sinus infection feeling crappy, was gonna do the Singer Island Tri #3, but my body had other plans.

Saturday I was supposed to do a 5k right around the corner, but my bubs was feeling horrible, I was gonna push her in the stroller :( So I settled for an afternoon spin class.
