A 5km Run on Moving Day

Was really happy to squeeze in an upper body workout on Sunday afternoon before dinner... it was such a busy day with grocery shopping, packing, laundry and then having after-dinner guests to play dominoes....  I tripped over those 8lb. dumbbells just often enough to get motivated to pick them up for 15 minutes.

2 sets X 10 each of:
  • bicep curls
  • tricep kickbacks
  • overhead presses
  • lateral raises
  • delt raises
  • upright rows
  • pushups
  • standing abductors
  • standing adductors
Whew.
Today was moving day and I woke up at 6:45 with a bit of a headache.... I realized I didn't have any coffee after lunch time yesterday, which is quite unheard of for me.  I remedied that very quickly, chomped down half a banana and then The Captain and I set off to get in a 5 km run before breakfast.

W3 R37 @9/1 W4
stretch 3 or 4 minutes
I had a stomach ache when we got back and I realized I was very hungry!  So the stretch got cut short in order to get some breakfast into me.

I really hope that I don't wake up tonight with leg cramps from not stretching very much... our first night back on the boat and no tub for soaking.  Thank goodness for Tiger Balm!

  2. I hate moving! Hope it was smooth for you and you aren't all cramped up from not stretching! I hardly ever stretch which I know is so bad!

  4. I've never tried Tiger Balm! I hope your legs feel okay! Getting a run in before breakfast is amazing. It makes my day go so much better knowing that I got it out of the way first thing!
