Where the eff did Spring go??

Saturday Workout Wrap-Up: sleep - that counts sometimes
Sunday Workout Wrap-Up: 7 miler
Monday Workout Wrap-Up: Yoga Meltdown (and softball)
Tuesday Workout Wrap-Up: 2 mile interval run and a HIIT + Core class

So last week we left off with an impending trip to "The Barn Show".  On saturday morning I met a couple friends and we headed off to the "country" to go to this "Barn Show".  We arrived and that is basically exactly what it was.  A barn.  A barn with stuff in it you could buy.

The Barn!

It was a really nice day - so we checked out what the barn had to offer. There was a lot a refinished furniture, old lamps, vases, baskets...basically all kinds of stuff.  I left with a new soap dispenser made out of a mason jar and a matching shaker.  It was a set, but someone broke one of them before I got there...so mine will be for Old Bay....proof that I am officially a Marylander now. 

After the Barn, we spotted a huge plaza with both a Wegmans and a Target...aka Heaven.  We hit up Weggies for lunch and it was great.  While we were walking around they were playing this little gem in the store:

I immediately downloaded it when I got home, knowing it would make my long run the next day extra special.

And...it worked.  I jammed out to some Many Moore on my 7 miler on Sunday morning.  The weather was perfect and there was a ton a people out enjoying the nice day, so there was plenty to look at.  I ran into my friend Lily out walking her dog and I am also 80% sure I also ran past Michael Phelps riding a bike.  He is a pretty recognizable dude and lives in the neighborhood. 

I RIDE BIKES TOO!!!

Monday I had a softball game after work.  We lost, but always have a fun time.  When I got home I decided to revisit an old DVD I haven't done in a while.  Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown.  It was a nice way to end the day - it can be tricky, but in no way compares to any of her other videos.

The calmest you'll ever see this girl. 

Yesterday ended with my interval run from work to the gym where I tried the first night of a new class called HIIT + Core. HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training.  This is when you do short bursts of high intensity work followed by a short rest period.  So we did a lot of running, jumping jacks, high-knees and basically every variation of jumping known to man.  This part went on for the first 30 min of class followed by 15 min of core work.  It may have been from being tired already from the run, or maybe that the room was about 100 degrees, but that may have been the hardest class I've taken so far.  I'll be back.

Today the temp hit well into the upper 80's - maybe even 90...so where the heck did spring go?

Meanwhile I heard it was dark, dreary and in the 40's in Rochester...so who knows what my race day weather will be at the end of the month.  I won't be surprised if I am running through snow.
