#100DayChallenge Day Two

Posted in 100 day challenge, running by Chocolate Covered Race Medals

Is it bad that I am already loving this challenge?

Well if it is, I don’t want to be good!

Want to include a quick shout out to a lunch workout I did today as well. Two-a-days are allowed, right?

As Many Reps as Possible: 15 minutes
Push Ups
Squats
Sit ups
Followed by 15 minutes of stretching (I used my NTC app and did Shawn Johnson’s 15 minute Full Stretch Guide).

I gotta be honest — I was a little sweaty returning to work. And I’m OK with that. All the more reason to keep my Dove Body Refreshers at my desk 🙂

Quick and Sweaty With a Sweet

Posted in running, workouts for the day by Chocolate Covered Race Medals

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday Everyone 🙂

As you all know, my evenings sans Zach include an embarrassing amount of bad TV. True story. Well, I almost had a panic attack last night as I turned on the TV and our OnDemand was not functioning. THE HORROR!

Thankfully, the torture only lasted one show and everything was good in the world again. Teen Mom — here I come!

{Exaggerate much, Ashley?}

Thankfully, I had some wonderful food to distract me, even during the “scare.”

A strawberry shortcake roll that has literal strawberries, cream cheese, cucumbers, tempura shrimp and ell I believe. It’s amazing. But not as amazing as the sweet treat I made last night staring a new favorite ingredient:

That’s right, this one is a good one. I’ll be back later this afternoon with the recipe. It’s one you don’t want to miss.

This Morning

I stayed up later than I normally do watching Lindsey on OWN {judging can continue now . . . }, so waking up this morning came a little quicker than I’d like. Either way, I got myself out of bed after one snooze and got to movin.

I did a repeat of the hill and sprint interval workout from last week for a little over 3 miles total.

The workout includes a quick warm up, diving straight into a hill routine, an endurance routine, a hill/sprint routine, and then a cooldown. It’s a good one!
