HIIT Me With Your Best Package!

This is gonna be a quickie post – don’t feel cheap – I just have a class to get to! I start my Personal Training classes tonight!!! Whoop whoop! Can you tell I’m a wee bit excited?

 

Work was swell today! I prepared myself for the rest of the week, which is going to be busy city!! I’m scurred.

The way home from work is what sucked!! I had planned on doing a 3.5 mile interval run after work before my class, but then ran into this:

And sat and enjoyed the scenery for a good 15 minutes. Ugh!!

So I had to make with do. I knew I still wanted to run, but I had to cut it short. A bright idea came to mind – I’ll do a full out High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) instead! I’ve been reading about Janetha B cranking out fab HIIT sessions, so I cranked one out myself. Holy crap… I forgot how hard HIIT is!! I only did 2.5 miles, but my average pace was 8:56!! I did two minutes at around 9:00-9:30 and then one minute at an all out sprint. And I loved every minute of it. However, I forgot how taxing they can be on the bod. Shane came upstairs to find me like this:

However, right before my run, I got a Mood booster by Mail:

My Glo Bars from the famous Glo Bakery!! I expedited one of these puppies right into my mouth:

Obviously I had the Run bar – it’s supposed to be energizing! I have to say, I am pretty darn energized right now. I’m so excited to try the other flaves!

I got the Variety Pack.

Much to my pleasant surprise, I had yet another gift waiting for me at the doorstep from…

I was pretty stoked for this stuff, too. I’ve been wanting to try Coconut Oil forevvver!

 

Hate to cut it short, but I gotta go get ready for class! (hahah- I love saying that!) Have a great night everybody!
