Workout check in

Well, I nearly got freakin' killed this morning during my run - and I'm not exaggerating. I was about ten minutes into a lovely run when I came to a stoplight. I jogged in place, waiting for the light to change. There was a left advance and a lot of cars turning in front of me. The left advance ended and the walk sign came on for me. But cars were still coming through, so I waited until I couldn't see any more cars and then headed across. This car came fast out of nowhere, turning left directly into me. He didn't see me and I didn't see him. He actually sped up to try to make the turn! It was a silver BMW and that grill was huge as it came at me. I got hit with a dose of pure adrenalin as I sprinted the hell out of the way. I stopped when safe and screamed at him. You could see that he was as shaken as I was- he nearly not only killed someone, but would have gotten jail time for it for sure. He didn't do a damned thing to stop the car - if I hadn't sprinted I'd be injured at the very least. I walked across to the far side of the street and just stood there for a little while, trying to get my heart to stop racing before continuing. I finally started again, but I just couldn't get my heartrate down for the rest of the run. I wasn't even wearing my HRM but I could feel my heart going crazy. In fact, it'll probably spike every time in the future when I hear the song that was playing when this happened. I may have to retire that playlist. What kills me is that I was actually really careful crossing that street, because I could see that cars were ignoring the stoplight.

So I guess you could say I had a really great cardiovascular workout! I'm going to purchase a treadmill soon - a Sole TT8, I think, if anyone has any thoughts on the subject.

Another girl doin' double duty today...Power Hour this morning, and after work will hit the gym for 40 minutes on the eliptical followed by a yoga class...I up'ed my weights on Power Hour and will NEED the yoga class tonight to stretch out some more! I forgot how simple that DVD is, but the basics STILL work!

Oh My God 'morning star' I am SO SORRY that happened to you ! Everytime I hear of a 'cluless , off-in-another-world-driver' I just cringe. I am really glad that you walked away from that unharmed. It's SO unreal how people are just oblivious to what's going on around them while they're driving. I commute to work everyday and have come across some situations that have made my heart pound like nuts as well,so I too have bee there. I agree on the treadmill, sometimes it's best to work out in the comfort and safety of your own home. I like a good outside run as well, just sad that nowdays it's not as safe. I hope the next run that you have is a fun, and safe one. :)
 
I started my day with an old favorite IMAX2! It was too early for me to handle a run and this DVD certainly did the trick for cardio today. I seem to be bit of a slacker as I only have time for one workout per day!
 
Completed a sweat drenching combo of Step Moves and MMA Kickbox. I absolutely loooove the new shock cardio dvds, even though i think the hook punch is the nemesis of my left arm....Right arm is perfect, left arm keeps trying to knock myself out! I won this round though, we'll see how it goes next week with MMA Kickbox.

I did GS chest and tris this morning! Wow! It looked so easy, but my arms were shaking so badly afterwards I almost couldn't feel them anymore! :eek:

What a great workout!

Good morning Cathe!

This morning I'll be doing 45 minutes of running/walking intervals on the treadmill and this afternoon I'll be doing GS: Chest & Triceps with you! :eek:

Supersets (the TV one, which I think is just about the same) because it just wasn't happening yesterday......:D now I'll swap Sat. for Fri. and that will be that, so......Karate Kid or Toy Story 3? Both? we're just big kids!

Phooey, I missed the Zumba class because Randy needed a good sleep-in. I did Body Combat which was a big time booty-kicker!! Cathe, I bragged that I could do her class because I workout with you!! The instructor was very familiar with you and has a bunch of your workouts! I told her that I got to meet you and workout with you also.... she was jealous!

I give you and your amazing workouts credit for getting me to a place where I was one of six gals who stuck with her very tough workout. A majority of the class left about half way through! :eek:

Last workout for a few days or maybe a week- I need some rest and recovery time. Ahhhhh.

Thank you, Cathe!

Hi Cathe,

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall during a session with you + trainer + boxing equipment. Now THAT would be a real treat to watch! Hope you made it and had a productive time. After today's cardio, I had a hot date with the Smith machine doing some lunges, plus a little extra work on the side with abductors and adductors.

Good weekend to you and family.
