F YOU mini-bands!!!!
Here's the thing - I love doing mini-bands while I'm doing them, even if it's 5 different exercises for 1 minute each with no rest in between, which equals 5 total minutes. Here's what I don't love - any time after that. I did mini-bands first and then my stupid IT band was feeling so tight on the treadmill that I couldn't even do my normal speeds for the entire treadmill time.
This is a prime example of how I have trouble pacing myself through the entire workout so I don't burn out too fast (today) or have some gas left in the tank (Monday).
Also on the floor, I was minding my own business doing 15 lbs on the single arm snatch with shoulder press and my favorite coach comes over and tells me to use 20s. I realize that simple math tells us that 20-15 equals 5, but when you are talking about going from a 15 lb dumbbell to a 20 lb dumbbell, it feels like the weight doubles. Just sayin'
Tomorrow, my entire lower body is going to be hurting, I just know it.
This weekend I am heading to Missouri for a long weekend to see family and I'm going to try out a new studio while I'm there. I have become that crazy person who plans their exercise while on a trip (it used to be an excuse for me NOT to exercise).
PS I think I had a moment where I went crazy the other day for about 10 minutes. I wanted to sign up for the 2019 Gasparilla races, so I decided it would be a good idea to sign up for the challenge where you do the 15K on Saturday and the 8K on Sunday. Um, what? That's 9.3 miles on Saturday and just about 5 miles on Sunday. Oh well, they aren't until February 2019 so I have plenty of time to train (what was I thinking???)
