What is not very motivating is the weather right now. It keeps snowing, raining, and blowing. It was a very windy weekend! I did make sure to get my runs in right away in the morning before it got really windy.
I think I got pretty lucky as the storms all seemed to blow in once I was done running.
I have to admit I was considering not running Sunday and just doing an elliptical session. But how could I say no to this face?
Since I had my running clothes on Cola knew what that meant and he could hardly contain himself, I had to go now.
As usual once I got running I was so glad Cola talked me into it. We got in an easy 5 miles, which seemed to be all my legs wanted to do, so I listened. I think they were a little tired after doing this workout from Oxygen Magazine on Saturday, plus I added in a set of 10 tricep dips/5 incline pushups and did 50 seconds work with 10 seconds rest for 4 rounds.
and ZWOW #1 first thing Sunday morning.
3 rounds of
Dive bombers - 10
burpees - 5
squat leg lift - 40
burpees - 5
side plank lifts - 10/10
burpees - 5
pistol squat - 10/10
burpees - 5
Happy Running. Does your dog guilt you into running too?
Haha, you know Tally and I have the same problem! That girl guilt trips me all the time!!
ReplyDeleteCola is a good influence on his mom! :-)
ReplyDeleteBungee definitely guilts me into running. This weekend, the only thing that actually got me out the door for my long run was knowing that she would come with me. I have to run 8 miles today, and I'm trying to gauge whether she'd be able to keep up with the prescribed pace or not.
ReplyDeleteHeaven help anyone that accidentally touches Lucky's running harness and doesn't take him for a run!
ReplyDeleteI love this! A Guilt Dog! I've gotta go and get me one of those.

Oh sweet Cola. Best doggy accountability ever! :)
ReplyDeleteMy dog loves to go running. He's all super into it when we first start, then by miles 4 and 5 he starts smelling around trees and being lazy. HAHAHA. I love Cola.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my dog talks me into it too. They're so cute and love running. It's hard to tell them no. That's great that you live so close to family. Someday I'd like to live closer to mine again, especially if I have kids.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! If I had a dog I am sure he/she would! Although, I have noticed around here that all of my favorite running trails don't allow dogs...
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet face.. I wouldn't be able to say no to him, ever!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my dog guilts me into running but he acts like such a precocious beast sometimes that I can't not run him. We're still rehabbing from injury (he was hit by a car) so I can't take him on serious runs but I love having him for shorter, easy treks. And he loves it, too!
ReplyDeleteCola makes me want to get a dog so I have that type of accountability :) Way to get out there despite the wind
ReplyDeleteAww Cola is too sweet!! My dog guilts me into bringing her...cause she loves to run so much!
ReplyDeleteCOLA!!!! CB guilts me into running. He also knows the difference between my work and running clothes and insists on joining me when he knows I'm about to go run. :) such a sweet pup you have!
ReplyDeleteI love that they know just by the clothes we are wearing. My dog knows too.
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute - glad you had a good run.
