Weekend Recap

I had an excellent Fit Weekend. Friday I did  laundry and Yoga over Skype with Tai then relaxed on the couch in preparation for Saturday's early morning run. Ill be honest, when my alarm went off at 630am, it was rough.


Ashley and I pre-run

It was great to run with Ashley and Chris today. It dawned on me how much I missed running with friends! It's a great time to catch up on each other's life and I didn't think about what mile we were at till it was about time to turn around. After running, we went to have breakfast. The Corner Bakery has a great healthy menu and good coffee. I tried chicken apple sausage for the first time. It was nice to sit outside without sweating and enjoy the cool air. I ran some errands and then took Molly on a long walk. 

Saturday night I did some baking:


Left: Banana Pecan Granola 
Right: Cocoa Almond Coconut Granola

Sunday was another early morning (thanks Molly). I had granola for breakfast (yum) then went to the gym to lift. Sunday mornings were busier than I thought, but I didn't have to wait for any equipment. I love listening to loud music (I'll prolly be deaf by 45) and reuniting with long lost muscles. 


Post workout. I am SORE!!! It's amazing how lifting "discovers" those muscles I didn't know exist. And it tires them! My arms were shaking on the last few sets and by pull-ups, my upper body was completely done. My lower body is where most of my strength is, but deadlifts and squatting with a bar on your back is no joke. 

Then I took Molly to the dog park because there's no way my legs could take a long walk. After tiring out the pup, we relaxed on the couch for a bit and took a nap. Then I made some dinner and we went for a walk because I needed to stretch out. I already know getting out of bed tomorrow is going to be murder. I can't wait to wake up a every muscle says "help me!" when I try to move.

Overall, I enjoyed a quiet, relaxed weekend. I worked out and stayed on track food-wise. 
Sleep is going to be good tonight :)
