Yesterday, was an easy and pain free day despite the hard effort on Sunday, some hot spot on left butt, right calf but nothing significant, decided again running to give the body a break so decided on a 40mins easy spin and then 2 sessions from Strong Stride. Strong Stride I believe is an humbling workout since I am in so much pain when all am using is my body weight: glutes, hips and butt were on fire after the workout.
I did a session of yin yoga before bed, am working on adding restorative yoga in the evening to quite my mind and calm the body. Still not sleeping properly, waking up between 1:30 - 2:30am but last night I was able to go back to sleep by doing some meditation really try to avoid taking sleeping aid.
This morning, body still recovering but seem to be humming with energy, so started the day of with Cathe Ripped with Hitt Low Impact Premix #7, time flew by and I was a sweaty mess then hopping on the treadmill I queued up a coached program -Cardio Coach #1 on Bitgym and gave it a try, it worked so much better on the treadmill than the spin bike, not really sure why but I am not really sure what the advantage of this app is right now, I already have the Cardio Coach workout and I can watch what ever I want on netflix or any of the multiple options I have, also I have the Runervals and Sufferfest workouts which are coached DVD are downloaded video workouts.
After the run with lots of energy still pumping through my veins, I did Pretty Fierece Lean Out Upper Body Endurance with was a short sweet to the point workout, my arms were on fire and I was sweating unbelievably which was interesting since I wasn't doing any cardio.
I was a bit tired during the day, the kind of tired when a 10 mins power nap was needed but I know it is coming from the early waking.
After work, met up with Shelby at the Bike and Hike to get in 4 miles it was a bit rough at the start since I was tired but once my body warmed up I felt fine although the pace was very and there were lots of bikers out.
Got back home, had dinner and then got in an hours plus in the yard working on the beds, it is just amazing how much weed there is again, ahhh :(
Off to bed, but hope to get in at least 20mins of yoga or meditation

Even thou yesterday was National Running Day, I stuck to my plan of not running, as a runner am not sure why I need a day declared for me, I think yesterday was for none runners and the rest of the 364 days for me, I guess they get to follow it up tomorrow with Doughnut Day.
Was suppose to do 30mins on the spin bike this morning so I went ahead and pick another program from Bitgym, this time we are headed to Yosemite Park, it was nice but I am not quite sure how the phone is picking up my RPM because I was losing speed and wasn't sure what to do, don't know if this was from my wifi connection or not, so ended up with 40 mins ride, the clock only count down when you are cycling. Also at the end of the workout they give you, time, calories burn and RPM, not sure what to do with the RPM data, I wanted miles and speed. I did get an invite to be a beta tester, so will be trying the coached programs out the next couple of days added on Yin Yoga with Travis, the live class on You Tube instead of DVD.
My left calf was tighter than I like this morning, not painful, just knotted up, I have been working on it, it tends to loosen up after about 2 miles so I decided against the tempo run and played around with Strong Stride instead.
I like Strong Stride with Lisa Watson, it will be a great one to add into the rotation to work all those pesky little muscles, the hip, hamstring, Quad and butt were hit very hard, great DVD for runners.
Cardio Strength Upper Body (1 round) + Strong Stride Dynamic warmup + Strong Stride Program 1 + 21 mins on the stepper just to test the calf out.
Time to get ready for the basketball game

After a whirl wind weekend trip to New York for a funeral and condolence call to 2 separate families, got back to cold Ohio on Monday morning and straight to work. I did get in some workout on the trip which I am proud of.
Saturday - Before the 6am flight to Newark, NJ actually woke up at 2:30am to get in my workout, did Pretty Fierce Lean Out Upper Body Strength, decided against any hard cardio since I was going to be sitting on the plane for an hour, was so proud of myself. None stop activity from the time we landed till about 1:30am when we got back to the hotel
Sunday - Got up around 9:30am and got on the treadmill to get in my run using Cardio Coach #2, got in about 4 miles before calling it a day, the treadmill wasn't the best, even thou it was a commercial strength. Some shopping and a condolence call later, it was time to return the rental car and get into bed for another 4am wake up call.
Monday - Up at 4am, no workout since we were getting on the 4:40am shuttle to the airport, landed, drop hubby off at home and off to work. Long day and it was cold here, temps only in the 50s, needed the heat in my car and office, unbelievable this is 6/1. Wasn't planning on working out but after 30mins on social media after work, I realized I have time to get a workout in. I had gotten an email for a new app Bitgym so I decided to give it a try, riding through Italy. I was pleasantly surprise how good it worked with my bike since all I was using was my phone with no extra gadget just like a kid in the candy store, I sped up, slowed down, stop and it respond pretty good with the rpm, the scenery was nice too, thought I was going to get into the water, I really can wait to see how the whole thing unfolds disappointed I miss the kickstarter would have love to support them. Got in 15 mins on the bike.
Tuesday - Had a very serious senior moment and did last week workout, oh well, my body knew I needed it after the over indulgence over the weekend on Nigerian food.
Workout:
D2S P2 RAMP
1 mile warmup with 3 striders at 7.5mph for 30secs each, - average pace 11.29

Pretty Fierce Lean Out Anaerobic Workout - 36mins, I enjoyed this workout, first time doing this one
10 workouts @ 40secs ON/20 secs OFF
4 workout @ 60secs ON/60 Secs OFF needed every sec

very nice stretch.
After work, not the smartest, even Shelby question my sanity, I got in 5.5 miles with Shelby on a new hilly course to me, I felt a lot better than I was expecting even thou the start was a bit rough. Still feeling tightness in my left calf so need to stretch and roll it to work out the kinks.
