You get the best of both worlds

Today was a best of both worlds day. Cardiovascular and strength. Running and traps/shoulders. (More so traps)

My original goal for running today was to do 13.1 miles even if I walked it all just so I could see where I was at. If it's even possible for me to do this half marathon in October. Right now I'm on the fence. Paige thinks I should wait due to 3.95 miles in I could already feel a knee ache coming on. So that's where I stoped. 50 minutes in. WHICH I only walked a total of 5 minutes so I'm happy because that's the longest I have ran ever!:) so we will see. If I am not able to do one in the fall maybe the spring time I can find room somewhere in my busy life to take a day to me. A highlight of that run, a girl who works out at the gym I see from time to time dropped a "compliment" anytime fitness has that says "you inspire people you don't know" but scratched out "you don't know" and put "Alex and others:)" she's so sweet it was a huge motivator to get me as far as I did. I almost went home bit decided to add a little something in anyways. SO here's as follows...

WORKOUTS
BARBELL SHRUG: weights: 10,15,20 reps: 12,8,6
DUMBBELL SHRUG: weights: 12,15,25 reps: 12,12,8
CABLE SHRUG: weights: 50,70,90 reps: 12,10,9
UPRIGHT CABLE ROWS: weights: 40,60,70 reps: 12,10,8
ALTERNATE SHOULDER PRESS: weights: 15,20,25 reps: 12,10,4
BARBELL FRONT RAISE: weights: 5,10 reps: 12,6

So. It was a good day I concider it. Instead of being shy little ole me. I actually did what I want how I wanted without feeling judged. Yes people where in the gym lol for anyone who get embarrassed easy. Just know. If I can do it you can do it.

Quote of the day: "just focus and go."
