MIA

Sorry I've been MIA!  I've got a few empties and favorites to post this week!  I've been doing some good self-reflecting lately.  So just taking some time to myself and not being so rushed and task oriented.

After my half marathon I really missed my consistent weight training.  I've been able to get back into a routine and it has made me feel really good and realized how much I love weights.  Tonight I started my workout with a 30-20-10 HIIT treadmill workout before I did weights.  I was a bit bored with the standard sprint/walk/sprint/walk HIIT workout so I found this one.  You start off with running a slightly hard but maintainable pace for 30 seconds, then run harder for 20, then sprint for 10.  Then walk a minute and repeat.  I warmed up for 5 minutes first then repeated these intervals for 20 minutes so I ended up doing the running interval 10 times.  Then I cooled down 5 minutes for a 30 minute treadmill workout.  I was wiped out by the end.  It's a great workout if you need something new to spice up your routine!

I finally started making use of my local library and checking out audio books.  Since I started on Friday I have listened to 2 books already.  I listen in my car, walking my dog, working out, and my favorite...while cleaning.  When I was listening to the audio book while cleaning it made me want to keep cleaning!  I cleaned things I hate to clean...like my oven.  I'm officially hooked on the library and the audio books.  

Ok more posts coming this week, sorry it's been quiet on the blog lately!
