A couple runs, a lift, and a rookie mistake

Tuesday is typically my speed workout on the track, but a high school soccer game kept me from completing my workout.  I was able to do a bunch of 50s on a flat surface above the field.  Nothing compared to my planned workout.

Wednesday was a Day Two Lift in the early morning:
1. Chin ups 3x5

2. Summo Deadlift 5x5

2. Knee to Knee stretch 2x30secs/ Hammy stretch 2x20secs/side

3. 1 legged squats 2x10/right leg 3x12 left leg

4. DB Reverse lunges 2x8/right leg 3x8/left leg

5. DB step ups 2x12/right leg 3x10/left leg

6. Farmer walks 3x 20 yards

7. 3way plank
In attempts to make up the missed workout Tuesday, I came home to run a set of hills (plus to and from).

Thursday:
Today I woke up sore and tired, but pushed myself through a quick 15 minute yoga session to stretch out my body.  After work I pushed through 6 (rather easy) miles.

The Rookie Mistake:

I am not one to wear a lot of make-up...ever.  But I made the rookie mistake of not washing my face to remove the mascara and lotion I had applied before work.  I ran home and quickly headed out for a run before a storm set in.  The humidity, my sweat, and a simple mistake led to my eyes feeling like they were on fire.  No matter how much I wiped my face with my shirt as I was running, the make-up filled sweat was running into my eyes making it hard to see during most of my run.

I know, as women, we try to look good doing everything we do.  And that often includes wearing make-up during workouts.  Well don't do it.  Especially not during a run.  It clogs your pores, drips into your eyes and mouth (things you should not be ingesting), and no one looks good with dark mascara running down their face.  Ditch the make-up and run natural.  Thank me later.
