so i did 30 day shred before work...
and i usually run a 5k at lunch.
However, I get off work at 4 today and i am running at the river then.

So now, i've got this free lunch and i'm not sure what to do with it....maybe i should just enjoy some netflix and eat :P

    I was wondering the same thing. I did a tough boxing workout this morning (lots of legs, butt and core). Let's do 50 pushups or something like that.

    You girls are way better than me at lunch!! Maybe you're just the motivation I need...I normally clean over my lunch hour.

    My gosh, I did a 5K and it nearly killed me ;). I can't imagine doing one during my lunch break just for fun!

    To add: The only thing I do during my lunch is eat my lunch :laugh: !!!

    holy macaroni...i didn't mean to startle anyone hahaha!

    During the summer, I ride my bike to work 40 miles round trip--but when it hits fall, i turn to running at lunch because the sun doesn't come up early enough (not enough mace in the world to stop weirdos when it's pitch black outside!)

    I think i'll do 50pushups with danae16 since i already said i would...save my energy for tonight's run. It's going to be 74 and BEAUTIFUL outside...i am so excited!!

    Do you squeeze in lunch of at least a very very large breakfast to sustain your work outs? Cos if you're working out at this intensity & not eating you're burning lean muscle so be careful.

    ^^^ Sounds like a good daily plan. Way to go!

    As for today, I'd relax. You have a run scheduled after work. Enjoy a little bit of quiet and breathe...

    I really enjoy my daily schedule-- keeps me sane. I love my job, but a morning workout and an afternoon run in the sunshine reminds me that I can be more than just an employee from 8-5. thanks for the encouragement to rest...can't wait to be groovin along by the river!
