Sunday Funday - 1000 reps

Last night was a friends birthday, and therefor a great excuse for a few of us to get dressed up and head downtown for some delicious eats and enjoyable drinks ( which is a rare occasion for me )

We started at our house, with a simple innocent glass of white wine. This turned into ..... well a few more:) The night was full of laughter, as per usual and a LOT of rain!!!  There was some FULL intention, at least with myself and Serena, to make an appearance on a dance floor later in the evening, but due to what turns out to be an EARLY start, we were home by 11:30, and very ready for bed, with a gravol in hand.

 I sort of took alcohol out of my life ( not completely but for the most part) about a year , to two years ago, and every time I invite it back in, I am reminded as to WHY I removed it to begin with. I felt sick to my stomach all night, waking up multiple times with a gross over heated nauseated feeling.

When I finally opened my eyes for the day around 8:30 all I could hear in the quiet house was the heavy rain on the roof and skylight. It was calming and quite pretty.......

and so I lay there....... until 11am.

I thought about going to yoga, but clearly didn't think hard enough about it, because class started at 10, and I hadn't budged much at that point. I knew that whatever I did had to be high intensity to combat the crap that I ingested last night.

Once I was up and fed it came to me....

1000 REPETITIONS!!!!! 

As I put my running shoes on I wrote down the workout...... check it out HERE>

1000 Reps ~ Sunday punishment workout

I actually don't remember the last time I dripped so much sweat in such a short amount of time. Within the first 5 minutes, or first round, I was DRIPPING!!!!! 
I still had 9 more rounds........

This workout took me 60 minutes, I pep talked myself through a LOT of it I will have you know :)


The rest of the day was spent much like a Sunday should be, We  (my room mate and I ) drove up island to visit my Dad and Step  mom and there ridiculously adorable little dogs, we lounged on their couch for a few hours before heading back home to make a yummy warm winter style cauliflower, sweet potato and leek soup with turkey bacon.
We watched from home, my boyfriend and a crew of our friends on T.V at the Canucks  / Sharks first game. (Which we WON !!!!!!!)

Tonight I will sleep like a baby, looking forward to feeling the pain tomorrow......

We do it cuz we love it!!!!
