Started at boot camp-warm up of moutain climbers, jumping jacks, push ups and some other fun ex. then we did super sets where you have 3 stations and 2 exercises at each and you do each 2x 60 sec on 30 off.

station 1-1st one was medicine ball thrown over the head has high then sit back touch butt to ball and repeat 2nd-band resisted sprints

 station 2- 45lb weight push on the floor 2nd-band row in a squat

station 3- mountain climbers on a floor slide 2nd - squat with 14lb kettle bell

then we did the bear crawl hold with the 25lb on the back, my heart wasn't into it and I was totally fatigued form the workout so I only held it 1:20 not near as impressive as my 3:45 last week.

Went to ofc and did 2 miles at 15:15/7:37

spin class really pushed

2 more miles after @ 14:45/7:22

phew what a day

Ran to get Marie and then we did a loop from her house and back home.  Pretty uneventful except almost having a car run into us as it was sliding across the road:/  The roads were slick so the pace wasn't fast but thats okay because my legs were tired!

Went to the ofc and did speed on the treadmill, this seems to me easier on the calf and ankle and then I could control the speed like I wanted.  I wanted to start easier and ramp it up to end sub-6 which I'm proud to say I did.  Work out was 6x800 starting at 6:18 pace bumping it down with each repeat way to 5:55 then 2x400 at 5:50 and 5:40 pace:) when i do speed outside I always start wary to hard and lose steam and finish crappy this is something I want to work on.

HiiT same as last thursday
