Maritime run

I managed to get one workout in while visiting my also-pregnant sister in Nova Scotia. (She's not so much into the exercising, but does do a LOT of housework on a daily basis.)

I jogged 4.5 country kilometres (ie: hilly) in 28:30. It felt good, though the beginning was mostly uphill and I was very winded (despite the slow pace). It was cool, so I survived fine without my water bottle. In general, it felt very good.

Other than that, I ate more cookies that I needed to, played a lot of cards, and commiserated with my sister as we watched our fellas enjoy delicious (looking) ryes and cokes. Sigh.

So energized

Sixteen weeks! Apparently, the wee parasite is now as large as an avocado. Looks WAY bigger from the outside. :-) And it's supposed to double in size in the next three weeks or so. Eep!

I really enjoyed the gym today. A late night, fitful sleep, sleepy morning... but the gym was great, and it revved me up.

Here's what I did:

Alternating sets of squats and calves
Squats - 65 lb x 10, 10, 10, 10 (that's 14 more squats than last time, but I didn't feel like I was overdoing it)
Calves (standing presses with DB; total 165 lb): 8, 8, 10 each leg

Alternating sets of RDLs and presses
RDLs - 75 lb x 15, 15, 15
Presses - 40 lb x 10, 8, 7 + 3 push presses

Alternating sets of back extensions, crunches, dips:
extensions: 3 sets of 12
crunches (single leg on the ball): 3 sets of 22
dips: 10, 10, 8

Rowing machine:
21 minutes (1 minute easy/hard intervals); average 85 watts; 4300 metres (or maybe 4600?)

Weigh-in: 134 lbs (phewf - I really was unusually bloated last week!)
