Easy runs and headstands!

It was 28°C today where I was working so I was glad it was an easy run day! A few days a week I run with a friend from work on my lunch hour. Today we did 5miles at 9:11mins/miles and it was nice to "relax", enjoy the sun and chat easily. I need to get in to the mindset of hot running again though. Sunscreen, a towel and water bottle required!


I was in the field this morning but I managed to get my weights done at my afternoon coffee break. About 3 times a week I do a 10 minute weights routine on my coffee break. This consists of 1min plank with arm extensions, 15 bicep curls, 15 rear-delt raise, 15 tricep dips, 20 push-ups and 15 bent over row and tricep kick backs. I go through that twice and still have time to wolf down a snack :) I have been doing this for months now and I cant believe the difference it has made to my arms/back and shoulders. Running tones my lower half pretty well but my core and upper body strength has always been lacking. In the past I often tried to start a weights routine but gave up because I dont like doing it and hated spending 30 mins doing something I dont like. But 10 mins is easy! and its while I'm at work...even easier!


I work out of two different offices and both have weight rooms which is awesome. I even finally figured out how to do a headstand!! (I am very clumsy and it has always bugged me that I could never do this!)
