Kettle Bell %!$!@$!

I actually cringe right now just looking at these.  Today a kettle bell caused some serious %#@%! on me.  This was the first workout that I did with the trainer in the park with just 1 15lb kettle bell.  And WHOA my butt is going to HURT tomorrow.

I have stepped up my workouts so much that this is probably the only night this week I have stayed up past 9pm.  :)  Tonight I think I am going to sleep in compression pants and see if my legs will stop throbbing.  Tomorrow is yoga and then Saturday I am going to try for another 5k.  I am DYING to try and break 30 minutes.  If I can get the jello to leave my legs I hope to have a shot.

Not much of an interesting post ;)  But I think it shows you how wasted tired my workouts have me.  Here is a video of what I need STAT - Lake Geneva Resort & Spa.  Oooooo I wish for a massage this weekend.

How are your workouts going?  And go ahead and feel free to call me a baby for whining tonight - haha!

Never say Never!

Oh goodness... what a GREAT day!  I am soooo proud of my friend Kelly - she said she couldn't run, it gave her side stitches and today she kicked BUTT at her FIRST 5k in 32:54!  Wow.  What an awesome thing to be a part of!!  

So I woke up this morning at 6am and it was pouring, cold, and rainy.  On any other 5k I would have forgone my $25 and went back to bed.  But I guess that wouldn't be much of an example.  So we both got each other up and moving and there in time.  And ran in the rain.... something I have NEVER done before and quite frankly felt I would not enjoy.  

Instead what did I get?  A personal best time at a 5k ever!  WHOA!!  I could hear my mom in my ear saying see Amy this is why we try everything once.  I almost crushed the 30 minute mark on a 5k.  Another one of my "nevers".  So here is to kicking off some great training to Vegas and to my running divas -- I'm catching up! ;)  And 30:30 -- I can't wait to beat you again! 

Enjoy our crazy post run vlog at Kelly's house.  I did find out that is it my MAC camera that is messing up my vlogs so stayed tuned while I upgrade equipment. :)

CHEERS all and keep running.
