Weekend Recap

Saturday morning I went to my last Saturday High Rock training with Next Level Performance.  They were nice enough to post the workout on Facebook Friday night.  I saw it and quickly told hubby I was heading to bed.  It was going to be a long morning.


Here's the workout from NLP:
There will be 4 staging areas which will be referred to as the "pit".  The timed sets will be set-up as 30 seconds work/ 30 seconds rest for 3 rounds. Each team will perform the exercises orchestrated at each staging area. After 3 rounds each team will run a designated distance (read: trail running).  Then move on to the next staging area. 

The Pit
Staging Area I " The Cobblestone"
* Cobblestone Thrusters
* Cobblestone Swings
* Cobblestone High-Pulls

Run...

Staging Area II " The Log"
*Log Shoulder Passes
*Log Sit-ups
*Log Squats

Run...

Staging Area III "The Tire"
*Tire Jacks
*Tire Slams
*Tire Crunch

Run...

Staging Area IV "The Sandbag"
*Sandbag Reverse Lunge
*Sandbag Snatchpulls with release
*Sandbag Figure Eights 

Am I just a tree hugger or just doing log sit ups?

Then I spent most of the day with the family.  It was a beautiful day and we had to do some much needed cleaning.  We did have a little fun though. :)

Sunday was probably my favorite day this week.  I started with an 8 mile run down by the beach.  When I first headed out I thought it would start raining, but the sky quickly cleared.  After taking my son to Sunday school (in my sweaty clothes and compression socks) I had an hour to shower and get me and the little one dressed, we went to mass and then we were off to Brooklyn.


First, we had a quick visit with my mom, who my kids were dying to see all weekend and then we headed to the Pearl Room for Grandma's 97th Birthday brunch.  My sisters and I always decide on our meals strategically when we are out so, we decided that we would share the omlette, the french toast and the chicken panini and split the salad.  It was all yummy!

Family Fun

After brunch, my little sister and I made a pit stop to one of my favorite places, the Little Cupcake Company.  I do not usually "reward" a run, but it was a special family day.  So I got 6 cupcakes.  I cut 5 of them into quarters and we had a cupcake tasting.  What happened to the 6th, you ask?  Guess? :)  It was cookie dough, my favorite!

We used the glass of milk to "clear our pallet between tastings.  We are very classy.

When we got home, hubby decided to turn our driveway into a car wash, which worked for me because I had a shiny car by the end of the evening.

Another successful weekend... just don't ask about the laundry.  Sometimes we have to reprioritize. :)
