Hi all!

Still in a bit of a t.o.m. funk, so DH took the kids to see their greatgrandmother and I just did some tabata sets. Did low weight clean & jerk for 4min tabata, then a wall sit and then another set of the c&j tabata. That'll probably be all for today and I'll make-up my gym workouts this week.

Hope everyone's having a great Sunday!

Oh yeah, did seated knee tucks for a tabata set too. My brain and body are trying to forget those I guess. :sad:

I've never tried tabata. Will need to one of these days because I keep hearing it's killer.

Be okay if t.o.m. was t.o.y (year) or t.o.n (never). I'm on a shot so I don't actually get mine, which is glorious. A little hormonal sometimes but that's the worst of it.

Glad you're enjoying your trip, Marla! How cool that you found a nia class to go to.

I ended up at the gym late last night. Did a quick session - 20 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes on the bike, then I stretched/foam rolled. There are some band exercises Jason often has me do on the weekends but I was so tired I just wanted to get out of there, and since he didn't tell me to do them I didn't feel obligated. There are weekends he has me skip them so that is only half as lame of an excuse as it sounds. It was such a long day. I went to a baby shower in the morning and made a quick stop at Target while I was in town. As I was driving home I was thinking I really wasn't in the mood to run so I would keep it for today, and then it started sprinkling anyway which sealed the deal. Was home a couple hours when I got a text from a friend who was having an emotional crisis, so I went to her house for a few hours. Got back to town after 9:00, went to the gym, stopped at the grocery store (so I wouldn't have to go today), and finally got home after 11:00. Woke up this morning to the sun, though, so it looks like a beautiful day for a run.

I ran 13 miles! Previous longest run was 11 miles last weekend.

Terrific! Survived another flyball day. Then did the 30 minute run. Sore, tired, and ate too much all weekend. Ready to go back to normal tomorrow!

Way to go Laura!! You're blowing your old distances away!

Also, re: tabata, it's really just 20sec on/ 10sec off intervals for 4 minutes. The actual research was using ridiculously high output that really only hill sprints and possibly allout jump rope can maybe replicate. But, for me, I was going to do a different interval timing but didn't feel like setting up the timer, so I just youtubed tabatasongs instead (#lazy haha).

Donna, way to keep up the running. Hope it was a good flyball weekend.
