"Easy" Cross Training Day!

I love how I had admirations of blogging every other day, then it turned into once a week... Well folks, summer happens and it's been two weeks.  I have been watching my "steps" with my new Fitbit and I LOVE it, but I feel like my "steps" are my workout for the day.  My running has been pretty scarce.  T-26 days until I run my next physical race.  It's just a half-marathon in Chicago!  In the windy city hopefully I'll have the wind with me because I am going to need all of the help that I can get!!!

My next virtual race is Friday morning!  I love JostRunning!  This virtual race is the perfect motivation that I need to get moving, log miles, and collect BLING!  How cool is my racing bib? Anyone up for run/walking 6 miles with me?

 


Today, again not feeling like running, I opted for an "easy" stay at home workout day.  I have new Zumba DVD's and a new Plyo Fix DVD from Beachbody.  So much for easy!  30 minutes of Zumba and I looked like a hot sweaty mess! But the chick on the DVD was barely glissening, urg, and with those abs!  So I figured since I was already sweaty what's an extra 15 minutes of burpies, squats, jumps, etc???  OMGoodness!  I'm pretty sure I made the easy example on the DVD look good!

In conclusion, I'm sticking to running.  Just kidding- I need to cross training but I need to appreciate the workout as a workout and not an easy day.  It's all about calories in and calories out!  Hopefully good calories in and AMAZING calories out, Right?!  What are you favorite cross training workouts?  How many "easy days" to you have?  Lastly, I am serious, who's joining me Friday morning?!?!
