Last Week’s Workouts

Sunday- Lifted Weights with Mr. Hungry, I complained the whole time about how my heart rate wasn’t getting up but then on Monday I woke up really sore #eatmywords.  While I was complaining Mr. Hungry grabbed the light 5 lbs weights and started doing jabs with it. “See Kelli, it doesn’t matter what weights you have you can get a good workout.”  He cracks me up.

Monday- 7 Mile Run

Tuesday- Yoga

Wednesday- 3.25 Mile Run and Upper Body Workout

Upper Body Set (3 rounds)

12 assisted pull ups + 12 assisted dips

12 dumbell rows  + 12 over head presses

12 deadlifts + 12 lateral raises

Thursday- 40 minute walk

Friday- Total Body Circuit and 20 Minute HIIT Treadmill Workout

Saturday- REST!

Still having trouble finding my dream running shoe.  I don’t think ASICS are for me though, so I’m switching back to Brooks.  The people at the run store are really nice and helpful, I feel bad switching so many times.  However, I took lot’s of rest this week and I’m having out hip and now outer heel pain so I’m really sure it’s the shoes.  I was in ASICS last fall before I switched to Brooks Adrenalines, I think I might just go back to them.  Berg!  At least the shin splints are gone!  Anyone else have trouble finding a good running shoe for them?
