long,late nights
BUT when my sweet little angel FINALLY took a good,deep sleep nap with her teddy:
to be honest,i wasnt motivated when i left the house.
even when i got to the gym i was like,ok lets get this over with....especially since it was really busy in man land-all the stuff i wanted to use was being taken over by testosterone. so i went to machines,did some dumbbell and core work and ended with a little jog...
got in:
4x12
lat pulldown
4x12
seated row
4x12
prone reverse fly on incline bench
superset with
4x15
prone DB hammer curls on incline
giant set of:
3x20 hip ups with med ball between knees
3x20 weighted up and overs with oblique twist
3x1 minute plank pushups-alternating bt plank on elbows to plank on hands
3x15 standard curl
giant set of:
3x12
roll outs on ex ball
pikes on ex ball
25 v-ups
15 lateral DB curls
i found my groove while doing abs and felt like a machine!
ended with 30 minutes on the TM (3.3 miles~9 min mile pace)
saving my legs for dawn patrol with Sue
we are planning an EARLY morning long run,with hills....in the cold,maybe snowy,windy conditions. (and yes,i feel less crazy when i have someone to do this with! ha!)
can yall guess which plan im going with?
:)
no trying to set a PR,cause i know my body isnt ready yet. this whole having a baby and trying to be fast again instantly isnt realistic after all......but i tried though!
anyways,in other news,when i had gotten home,lil Mwas just waking up from a 3 hour nap (no i wasnt at the gym for 3 hours,but she was asleep for over an hour before i left)
so glad she slept so well for daddy!
now lets hope she will sleep good tonight???
humidifier and nebulizer machines all set up,whoo!
one thing that has been helping with lil M,even when she is not sick are these 3 things i never had with my first 2 babies
1) a binky
2) a lateral moving swing
3)a sound machine
why didn't i have #2 and #3 sooner?
ahh well,
anyways,hope all are having a good weekend!
i know i am feeling much better after that sneaky workout. i was jonsing and finally got my fix!
Have a good run! I'm going to attempt a short one outside today, I wish I had someone to run with!
ReplyDeleteYou will have fun with your half even if you don't PR (which I still wouldn't be surprised if you did). You deserve it after the month you've been through :)
I am so glad you got to go de-stress a little. Poor M needed that snoozer for sure. The lateral swing and white noise are two necessities in our house!!
