It has probably been 6 months since I have stepped foot on that awful piece of machinery known as the stair master. I used to be able to do it for an hour on a high level but let’s be honest, at this point in my fitness I made it ten minutes at a time before the Gold’s Gym employees would ask me to leave because I was causing a scene with the amount of sweat I was leaving behind.
Combined with my cardio ADD (except for running) and the fact that the stair master kicked my trash, I was able to get in a great workout.
10 minutes elliptical, level 10
10 minutes stair climber, level 10
Repeat 3 times, going up a level each time.
You know what made the time go by crazy fast……
WATCHING CHOPPED. I am going to cry the day that I catch up on all the seasons. I firmly believe that my Chopped obsession will be equivalent to going to culinary arts school for my future restaurant:)
Finished off with some stretching and people thinking I am a loser for watching chopped at the gym.

What was your Friday workout?!?!

Friday workout was a core/treadmill intervals class (50 minutes). Part of it was 30 minute sprint intervals @3%. I pushed myself, and swear to god – I was terrified of flying off of the back of the treadmill. But – I survived. My hair, on the other hand, was not at its best after that. Thank goodness I was already planning on showering before I left to go to work!

My Friday workout was a 4 hour shopping trip with my 4 yo twins and then I tried to do Wk 1 Day 3 of the Bridge to 10k program. I put in 3.1 miles but only got 3/4 of the way through before I gave in to the heat and pain. (I’m easing back into running after having to stop using my custom orthotics since they no longer fit correctly.)

Chopped is my religion…I LOVE it. So much. I almost want to get an Ipad just so I can watch it at the gym :-)
Alisa @ Runs with Knives
I obsess over Chopped. Since I am going to culinary school and plan to open a restaurant, I will hire you to work there. Maybe something like official taste tester?

I just tried my first run since race day but who knew I could hurt so much from my swim workout the other day? good grief, I hurt in places I didn’t know I had…like small arm muscles.

I did the stepmill today for the first time in a year. Kicked my ass. Like you, I used to do it a ton. Today I barely made it 20 minutes. But we will get stronger!

I love the stair master. I have an affair with it twice a week for 1/2 hour each time at level 9. It’s a killer!!
