With no mouse drama today I was able to whip out the new Cathe and give them a whirl, okay I have to say I absolutely love the 2 I did, they were what I envision her doing, no unnecessary breaks, no endless reps, limited fancy moves, sweet, short and to the point, but I miss my Cede.

Started out with low impact hiit #1, she changed things up a bit by using the mat as a prob for the first half to get around which was a nice twist, had sweat pouring down and was breathless but not gasping for breathe, then skipping the warmup from hiit circuit upper body I tacked that on, love the cardio blast and I think my lower body was worked just as hard as the upper body. Love it.

To make things interesting, before doing the stretch to end the workout I added on a kettlebell/burpee ladder-8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 using a 24kg kettle bell this took 3:38 had to pause a couple of times to catch my breathe but this was a great finisher which came from a men's health email, ahh bliss.

I love this combo and felt great afterwards. Still feeling some tightness in my right hamstring, not really pain just seem like there are lots are scar tissue limiting my mobility, so I have been stretching and digging into it using a strect I found on youtube.

Kindle:
Jumping around on that one, have to look to see what I started out with on Sunday..

I need a new ereader, love my kindle but this is a much older edition but can't really justify a new one unless for the fact that I can't read in the dark with turning on a light, but it is fun getting under the covers with my flashlight so as not to wake up my husband.

Having a written plan means you know what to do in the morning and don't have to think much unless things get derailed by a mouse, got down to the basement to find a mouse in my workout space, since I live on a wooded lot with green space they tend to come in during the winter, actually quite surprise there are any mouse left with all the snakes in the yard. I trapped the mouse, that is the extend of my involve, need my husband to get rid of it but he was still sleeping and I was too worried he was going to get out could not workout in the room, which means no Ripped HIIT legs.

I took the D2S P3 dvd to the other room and did the RAMP workout as warmup for my run, speed work today, 12x400@6.8 - 7.2 mph, I did 7.2/2% incline since I know I have been doing it that fast while training for the 5k, recovery was suppose to be @ 400m@5.0 but I went for 4.0/2%incline to give the hamstring a break since am still babying it.1 mile warmup

Felt hard but doable and I felt good, search youtube for some hamstring stretches and got in about 15mins worth.

Stop at a Goodwill on the way home since there was no after work run with Shelby tonight, great place to search for books and workout DVDs,  found one by Gretchen Rubin: The Happiness Project heard about her but haven't read anything by her yet, looking forward to reading this, looks like a good read.
