I went for a run!

Work up before the alarm this morning (6:40am), the sun was shining, it looked like a great day. I tried a new yoga program I downloaded – Yoga for Cyclists (20 minute). It was a good stretch for legs, but is meant to do after a ride, so not the best for first thing in the morning. It will be nice to do after a long bike ride. Scale said 139.2lbs this morning, not good. But Wednesday night was not good – I had a few too many mojitos and was suffering yesterday, and eating too much. But, after the yoga I decided to try going for a nice little run, and my leg didn’t hurt at all! Although now I am feeling some discomfort (just popped 3 ibuprofen – I hate doing that, but want to feel good to work out over noon hour) but that could be due to some new shoes I was trying on (going to return them – Kenneth Cole hates my feet).

Had a good workout over the lunch hour (and resisted co-worker’s invitation to Indian Palace buffet). Did my variation of the “Action Hero Workout” since I got my Valsides yesterday. It was a pretty tough workout, I was sweating through most of it. Here is what I did (I did each circuit twice):
