Fired Up

Hit my 30 minute mark tonight! Well, actually, I did take a 1-min walking break after 20 minutes because I was dying of thirst so technically it was a 20 min run followed by a 10 min run but close enough! After an encounter with a major bitch right after work (well actually two now that I think of it) and battling the most horrible road-rage inducing idiot drivers everywhere I went today, I was fuming by the time I got to World's. Sooo I channelled my anger into a killer run and pretty solid bi's/tri's workout. I know this sounds crazy, but if someone could really piss me off at about 5pm everyday I'd really appreciate it! haha

Here's what my weight sesh consisted of today:
1. 3 sets of 8 bicep curls on a bosu ball
2. 3 sets of 8 single-arm tricep extensions using the cables
3. 3 sets of 8 tricep bench dips with my feet on a stability ball and a 25 lb. plate on my lap (okay, so I only did one set of these and then had to bring it back down to a 10 lb. plate but hey, baby steps!)
4. 3 sets of 8 hammer curls, also on a bosu ball

Side note here, the men in World's tonight were rather eager beavers (to put it mildly) and I somehow met quite a few of the latest Friday night trollers without any effort on my part. My point being, I wanted to do medicine ball throwing crunches as Jen and I didn't get to them yesterday in our shoulders-based workout, however, there was no one around to ask to throw the ball other than the horny mass-at-hand so I opted for incline bench crunches instead (2 sets of 16 front and 2 sets of 12 side-to-side). Not quite the intensity level I wanted but what's a girl in these situations to do?! Finally, I went over to the mats and did three sets of "60" second planks (each side) and some legs-focused stretching to wrap-up.

Goal of the weekend ahead: Get really fired up and complete a real 30-minute run!
