Happy Monday!!!!!! Â How was your weekend? Â Mine was pretty good, I didn’t take a lot of pictures because it was pretty laid back. Â We spend Friday night hanging out with my SIL for her birthday. Â She wanted Gyro’s from Gyro Express, I got a delicious chicken salad! Â I also had some pita bread and hummus, and some of Paul’s Gyro meat. Â Yuuuuummmm!
And these White Chocolate Lemon Cookies! Â (Yes, I’m still doing Sugar Free September—> Â see my week’s recap here. Â I thought the cookie was super sweet and I was satisfied sooner than I used to be! Â Motivation to keep going!)
Saturday is my rest day so I hung out at the house and got a lot of work done while Mr. Hungry went golfing. Â Sent in my paperwork for my LLC, big step and I’m excited! Â I also went to the run store…. AGAIN. Â We’ve been going to Saturday night mass lately and loving our Sunday mornings free to workout.
Running
Friday morning I went to the gym and had the final straw with my new ASICS.  My hip hurt the ENTIRE 4 mile run on the treadmill and by the end the outside of my foot was getting painful.  I went back to the run store and switched them out AGAIN for Brooks Adrenalines (because that is what I had last year).  I’m so confused because for a while I was running with NO pain in neutral shoes with no inserts, but then the hip/SI joint pain came back.  Apparently my pronation came back too, so I switched to some really stable ASICS shoes.  Those didn’t really workout at all, I’m a little nervous I should have switched into something middle of the road between neutral and stability instead of the Adrenalines (super stable.)
Sunday Morning I headed out to test run my new Brooks Adrenalines. Â The test run went okay, not great, but okay. Â I did 3 miles in 3.08 miles in 29:43. Â I didn’t have any pain that prevented me from running so that was good, the problem is that it usually shows up around mile 3.5 to 4ish. Â It went well enough for me to sign up for a 10K in a month or so though!
While I stretched Missy went crazy playing with my flip flop. Â I thought dogs were suppose to be shoe obsessed, not cats. Some members of my family think that she looks like she has a lazy eye, maybe it’s a Mother’s love but I don’t see it.
After my stretching a bit I went upstairs to lift some weights with Mr. Hungry, I’ll have to share our sets we’ve been doing soon.  The more I practice dips, push ups, and tucks the better I get… but it makes me want to go back to CrossFit soooo bad!
Until then, how about some planks???? I did this workout after I did a 15Minute Plyometric AMRAMP last Thursday, it was a good one!
Hope you have a fantastic Monday!
