RUNNIN IT OUT

So I had gotten really used to having access to a treadmill everyday at the old studio, and now in my 'transition' studio, I have no cardio equipment other that a skipping rope, my own body and the great outdoors...

There's a commercial on TV about how tough Canadians are when it comes to outdoor sports and activities, I must not be a REAL Canadian, because i HATE cardio in the cold.
Now when I say 'cold' i mean any month before June.....mayyyybe JULY lol

However, I am a bit bored with skipping ( although it IS a great form of cardio) and my muscles needed a mini rest from all the workouts and so I sucked it up and headed outdoors.

There is a perfect hill on the next road for hill sprints!!!!
First thing this morning I strapped on my runners, and headed to Lodge St for 20 minutes of hill sprints.

The weather this morning was beautiful.... 

that is until I was about 7 minutes into my run, and there it came...THE RAIN!!!
It poured down on me for the next 15 minutes, but it was actually fine :)

I finished in true fashion with fully collapsing on the floor unable to catch my breath and fighting back the feeling of nausea for a few minutes!!
PURE JOY!!

On a happier lighter note, our Stella and Dot order came in and we are ready to do some shows, so LADIES, grab some friends, some wine and invite us over :)

I fit in a super quick core workout after work, before heading home (about 15 minutes worth)
