the last week of summer, I ran approximately 4.5 miles. Total. I know I was a'slackin, but whatevs. I'm at school now, so I think it would be silly to blog about working out since I'm super busy with work. Even though I'll still be working out.
So I'm signing off, it was a fun summer of being healthy. Hopefully I'll continue this habit during the school year.

2 miles
abs FOREVER
Only went two miles cause of my knee, but I definitely made up for it in the ab department. An hour and a half...whew. My personal trainer friend went through some different things with me, and they were insane. I felt super inadequate because I looked ridiculous and didn't even do most of the stuff right. Here are some of the things that I put myself through:
75 leg lifts
~70 knee raises
100 crunches
160 side crunches (80 on each side)
30 more leg lifts
45 seconds of flutter kicks
pulling down 70 lbs from this machine and bending over to my knees 3 sets of 30 reps
side planks 3 sets of 1 minute on each side
circles with legs extended- 10 in each direction
hanging from a bar doing knee raises 3 sets of 10 reps
hanging from a bar doing side knee raises 3 sets of 10 reps/side
leg lifts with 6 lb weight strapped to my ankles 3 sets of 10
3 sets of 30 reps on this ab machine
I feel like I got hit by a bus.

2.43 miles
arm machines/free weights
ab workout
Original plan was to run 6 mi, but at about mile 0.5 my knees started giving me sass and forced me to cut the run short :( Dumb.

7 miles
62 minutes
7 miles is a long way to run...
During the run, as I was getting a drink of water, the cap of my bottle fell out of my hands. It then proceeded to shoot off the back of the treadmill. I wasn't about to stop running. I was going at a pretty nice clip and was already 5 miles into the run. Luckily for me, one of my coworkers was personally training a client beside of me, so she stepped down and got the cap for me. It was so scary yet honorable. She is so nice, but I'm always so scared she'll punch me in the face...she also wanted to know if I wanted to run a 5k with her in September, but I had to decline because I'll be at school. She'd probably be at the finish line laughing at my 25 minutes when she finished ten minutes ago, just waiting to punch me in the face. Maybe.

July 29-August 5 - K
No, I'm not lazy, I was AT THE BEACH!!!!
I still ran.
Body pump -Friday
Marisa came with me! We almost died.
5 miles - Monday
I saw two horseshoe crabs. It was so hot running on the beach, especially in South Carolina. The humidity was awful, but I LOVED IT!!!!!! The ocean breeze was fantastic and I really wish I could run at home with that kind of breeze AND view.
3 miles - Tuesday
Marisa came with me (what?)! We called it our Sun Run since we got up early to watch the sunrise. It reminded me of The Office's Fun Run when they were running to cure rabies. After we finished running, we saw some deer chillin on the dunes. It was weird, cause deer are usually in the forest, but whatevs. I guess they need vacation too.
3 miles - Wednesday
I was supposed to go 6, but I only had 30 minutes before dinner and we had plans after dinner.
I failed to run my 7 miles on Friday, but there was a severe heat advisory so I figured it would be best if I just relaxed on my vacation. I'll be back at it tomorrow, though! Can't wait :)
