So... much...exercise

Here we have the last seven days of my Tough Mudder training.... 



Wednesday: 4.6 Mile hike/run at Heartlake Conservation Area in Brampton 




Thursday:  9.9 Mile bike ride through Professor's Lake and East Brampton paths. With pit stops to do some park training lol. 



Friday: 2 mile hike at Churchville Park in Brampton 


Saturday: 7.3 mile bike ride through Island Lake Conservation Area in Orangeville





Sunday: 4.6 mile hike at Rattlesnake Point in Milton (430 ft elevation gain, LOTS of steep hills to scale and rocks to frolic on)

     
Monday: Just a quick morning walk with the pooch and some brief after work yoga. However. I did push ups during my improvised yoga session, 7 total. I threw them in here and there in between poses. Gotta start upper body strengthening.

Tuesday: Just a quick morning walk with the pooch. Day of rest!

Wednesday: 1 mile walk/run in the morning, 1.5 mile walk at lunch, 1 mile walk with the dog after work, 3.5 mile hike/run at heartlake (total for the day: 7 miles)



Thursday (today): 1 mile walk/run

I almost rested again today. I woke up and bailed on walking the pooch, but did yoga instead. But I bailed on that early because I just couldn't hold myself up - I'm still feeling it from those 7 push ups I did two days ago....But ya, I came home today and I asked Michael to run with me. Usually he's the motivator. But I didn't feel right not exercising today.

So we went for a run. It hurt. I wimpered. My body ached the whole time. But I ran more than I did the last time I did that route and I was proud! I got home, stretched and soaked my feet in some epsom salt ...mmm so relaxing.

So I'll keep it short and sweet. I didn't quit, I worked hard, I'm proud of myself. 

YAY ME !
