Hi Alisha! LOL! That's a good theory!
It was a new path, so I wasn't sure where the halfway point was going to be - my DH was "in charge" of setting the path. We wanted a different route - you know how running the same route can get so boring?
I'm like you about what I want to do during my active rest weeks! I don't set a schedule and just do whatever workout I fee up to that day! It makes things fun and interesting!
Hi Lisa! I would have to agree with you. It sounds like you're not giving your lower body enough of a rest between workouts. However, I would find it difficult to run on lower body weight days! Of course, if you could get the cardio in early, then give yourself several hours rest before doing weights, that might work. I'm a wuss when it comes to lower body work! That would kill me no matter what!
I did get my tower today!
And, for the first time EVER, UPS showed up early! It was here around 2:00 or so. I told the UPS guy he made my day! I put it together right away. The instructions said you could assemble in 5 minutes and it disassembles quickly. I was skeptical to say the least, but it really did only take 5 minutes, maybe a bit less. I'm not mechanically inclined either and it was easy - even for me! It was nice that I could take it apart quickly too so I could store it more easily. As I've mentioned, over and over, I'm sure (sorry
) we don't have much space, so that worked out nicely!
Oh, and, yes, it made my workout so much easier! No hoisting the loaded barbell down on my step for bench presses and then, struggling to get back up with it! Ah, what a relief! And, flow, man, my workout went so much more smoothly that way too!
I absolutely LOVE my tower! BTW, I'm back to pushups again in week 4 of Meso 2 and I actually did 10 full out on the toes pushups!
Woo-Hoo! I'm getting stronger! Yay!!!! I was so excited! Of course, right after that set, it was back to the knees! But, hey, that's still great progress for me! Now, to attempt chinups and pullups on Friday . . . not sure if I can do those. I did attempt one today after putting the tower together. Yep. Got one. That was it.
Plus, our boiler arrived today! So, the chimney guy comes on Thursday to install a liner and rebrick some of the chimney, plus a few other minor repairs. The heating guys will also be here Thursday to remove the POS boiler and oil tank. Friday, they come back and install the new boiler! We might actually have heat this weekend! Yippee! I wasn't really expecting this to happen quite this soon. I'm thinking the heat won't get turned on until the City comes in and inspects and approves everything, but I hope it will all be done! This electric heat thing is a pain and it takes so long for the house to warm up, besides having to turn them off when we're gone which defeats the purpose because then the house gets cold again.
Anyway, sorry this is so long!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday! I was off for the holiday, which was nice! DH still had class this morning and he left again at 3 pm for his afternoon and evening classes.
