Snooze

Well I knew I was going to be sore today but I was not expecting to feel like I got hit by a bus today. Holy Moley!! The soreness from this week's lifts and runs set in today and boy was it a kick in the pants. My response to the soreness was the snooze button. I felt like I could have slept all day today and I know Meredith would consider this utter laziness but every extra minute of sleep was worth it. It took my mom five times of walking into my room and about 1000 snooze button hits to finally get out from underneath the covers. Finally after waking from the dead around 12pm I got up and got some breakfast (Bruegger's bagels) my ABSOLUTE favorite food in the whole entire world!!! After that I finally hit the gym and did something with my life. Today was upper body and core and I am definitely going to feel it tomorrow. I probably wont be able to lift my hands above my head actually.

A1) DB 1 arm row 4 sets of 6e (35-40lbs)
      A2) plank with a 10-25lb plate on my back (30sec)

B1) pushups 3 sets of 12
     B2) Toe touches with DB (8lbs) x 10

C1) Pullups 3 sets of 5
     C2) hanging knee tucks x 20

D) Horizontal pullups 3 sets of 10

Circuit (2 sets of each)
1) bicycle crunches x 20
2) side plank dips x 20
3) russian twists with extension (12lbs) x 10e

It was a good lift and it was good to get a lot of core work into my workout. After sustaining a major knee injury last year I know how important a strong core is and how it decreases your risk for injury, I hate doing core work but know its good for me.
Well I just had the best smoothie ever and now I've got to get to work on unpacking and hopefully get to go visit my best friend who just had surgery. Hopefully I will be able to get this stuff done while my family is at a banquet for my sister tonight so my mom will stop nagging me!. Lots to do!! Well I'm off bye for now!
