Pushing It

Yesterday was a limit testing day in which I fared well. I started at the gym with 45 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes of core work, followed by a 45 minute Spin class. Later in the day at work, I took my client group on a respectable (meaning there were some decent sized hills) 3 mile hike at a beautiful local park (Minooka, if you care to know). My leg and back did not rebel against these efforts. However, I did stay up past 9:00p.m. watching “The Biggest Loser” (I can’t believe they had the contestants run a marathon without any training! Good way to sustain injuries!), which made me feel like I was fighting through quick sand to get out of bed at 4:00a.m. for a grueling work-out with Ben. I told him what I did yesterday with no ill effects, and he replied, “Great, than we can push it today. Plan to be crushed!” And I was. But in a good way J I’m pushing the envelope again today by having another late night (I realize “late” is a relative term). I’m meeting my high school friends for dinner to resume the exhilarating conversations we didn’t get to finish when we met last month. I doubt I’ll be home before 9p.m., and then tomorrow, it’s up at 4:00a.m. and off to Spin!
