Wow, what a weekend! It was a fun one, but like usual, I didn’t relax much. Let’s back up to Friday…
Friday Workout
I planned on doing a track workout after work, but for some STUPID reason, I decided to do a workout at the gym beforehand. I’m honestly not sure what I was thinking, but I really just felt like throwing some weight around and getting in a hard workout.
This is what I ended up doing:
Part 1: Tabata Jump Rope (8 minutes)
Part 2: 5 Rounds – Superset: Barbell Snatch & Jump Squats
Part 3: 15 min. AMRAP of 9 Deadlifts (95lbs), 12 Push-Ups, and 15 Box Jumps (20 in. box).
I ended up making it through 6 rounds.
I really wanted to back out of the track workout, but I was meeting a friend and didn’t want to leave him high and dry. We ended up doing:
4 x 75 meters
4 x 50 meters
4 x 30 meters
Needless to say, my legs were and still are DEAD.
Saturday
Saturday I took a complete “rest” day (duh). I say that because I didn’t work out, but I was running around all day.
Charlie and I started off by grabbing a coffee and then getting breakfast at a little cafe called Blue Plate in Santa Monica. It’s a cute little restaurant, but it’s very cramped. The food was pretty good, but I was ready to get out of there by the time we were done eating.
After we finished, I picked up my friends and we got ready to head to a going away party for another friend. She’s moving to London and had all of us bring a dish from another country. We intended to do just that, but somehow we ended up at Aah’s (a costume store), bought Ninja Turtle T-shirts, and decided to bring pizza to the party. Ninja Turtles had their own country, right?!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Lizzy
Yeah okay, not the most logical thinking, but it was fun! There were actual some better photos taken, but my friend hasn’t sent them to me yet. We spent the night eating, drinking (well, they did), and just hanging out. It was a good time, but around 11pm, I became a pumpkin and went home.
Sunday
Sunday, my older brother (who just moved back from Israel), Charlie, and I headed out for a hike to Skull Rock. This is one of my favorite hikes in LA. The rock actually looks like a skull!
The hike is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10 in difficulty, and the weather was great. I was hoping it would shake out my legs, but MANNNNN I am still soooooo sore. Hoping that wears off by the end of today.
Hangin’ with my older brother
I spent the rest of my Sunday working with my good friend and former roommate Jules on a project we’ve been talking about. It’s finally coming to fruition and it’s going to be AWESOME. I’ll be sure to let you guys know when that’s coming…..
Here’s my plan for the rest of the week:
Monday: 20 min. HIIT + Bouldering
Tuesday: Crossfit
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Upper Body
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Full Body
Sunday: Rest
I’ll be traveling Thursday – Sunday, so that part of the schedule might change. I’ll likely be doing quick 15-20 minute workouts from my e-book to get a quick and efficient workout in my hotel room!
