    I'm leaning towards rest day today. It's been awhile and I was feeling it when I woke up today. DH has an appt mid-day, so I'm with the kids. Afterwards, if my body is feeling more rested & recovered, I might hit the gym, but probably 90% that I'll take a recovery day today.


    Have a great Saturday!

    Oh yeah, definitely rest day here. Based on some soreness, etc, I realized I need to trade an exercise or two on my schedule because it doesn't quite split correctly and my triceps (& possibly shoulders) aren't getting rest when they should. Anyway, I can also safely say that I DID work my glutes yesterday, for sure! Soreness may be no indicator of the intensity of the workout, but definitely my butt muscles would not be sore if I hadn't worked them at least a little, right?!:sad: lol (Did 3 glute isolation exercises and a couple synergistic. ouch!)


    Enjoy the rest ladies, read y'all tomorrow! :smile:

    Yesterday was my rest day, and today I was feeling ready to go again. Did 15 minutes on the elliptical & an hour yoga class at the gym this morning, then this afternoon ran a new best distance - 10 miles! My previous best was 8 miles and I was aiming for 8.5, but decided to keep going. Super happy.

    Terrific exercise day, Laura! Obviously yesterday's rest day did you good!

    Enjoy your rest days, Sherry and Maria! And hope the toe is getting better!

    Today I went to a flyball tournament with Fells. We had fun, but I wish it had been just a bit warmer.
