Monday started off with a unique yoga class at my favorite fitness studio in Portland. It is currently the ONLY place in the state of Maine that offers this kind of yoga. They teach it in a 4 week block. I have my second class tonight. I plan on posting about it in a couple weeks, but let’s just say, you’ll leave class feeling like a million bucks and maybe an inch taller!

My workouts were Tuesday and Thursday this week due to other events going on. I’ve been searching around the web for some super tough butt-kicking workouts and I stumbled across a couple websites with good ideas. I implemented a few of them this week. I usually prefer going to the gym in the morning because there is less people, but this week I had to go in the evenings after work. It made for a rather eventful people watching experience though. More on that later this week. Spoiler alert! Be prepared for more awesome terribly bad MSPaint pictures! 🙂

Sunday I rode in a very cold and wet Dempsey Challenge. I’ll post about that later this week. I’m hoping the weather this coming weekend will be A LOT better so I can log some more miles on the bike. My TRX Rip Trainer comes tomorrow via UPS and I CANNOT wait!! The Rip trainer will be incorporated in some workouts this week!

 

~ Happy Training!
