Labor Day Weekend Wrap Up! (PART TWO!)

'Twas a wonderfully long Labor Day Weekend full of friends, family, running, and relaxation!

In fact, the weekend was so long and action packed that I realized no one was ever going to read a Weekend Wrap Up that was that long so I divided it into parts!

Here is Part 2- Sunday & Monday!

Oh my word I had crazy dreams on Sunday morning. I woke up at 5:30am to go to the bathroom and when I fell back asleep the dreams began...

• I dreamed I was in jail.

• I dreamed there was a huge storm and I had to walk across the ocean on a metal bridge.

• I dreamed I had to dig a broccoli plant out of my garden.

• I dreamed I was trying to save my fellow inmates by climbing over a fence that was right along an ocean bluff. My friend was there and she was trying to climb over "50 fences in 50 states" and this was her last fence. She wanted us to sing Camptown Races as she climbed the fence so we did.

Maybe I was having crazy dreams because I had eaten four pieces of cake over the last forty-eight hours!?

I ended up doing an epic chest workout in my living room- clad fully in pajamas and flip flops. Do you think it is safe to lift in flip flops? Probably not, but I do it all the time.

Oh, I did a chest press PR! FIVE sets of ten reps with 30lbs! Here is a video of my last set...

That evening, Paul and I splurged and got takeout sushi from Asian Empire Bistro. Their sushi is half price on Sundays! We got all of this for just $20!

6 rolls- spider, shrimp tempura, california, spicy tuna, salmon, and avocado

I never remember to take a picture of my sushi, so since I actually remembered, this photo is going to become a Meg Go Run stock photo and will be used every time I mention sushi, okay?

MONDAY

The first thing I did Monday morning was save a stick bug from certain death! Jelly was mesmerized by something outside the back window. I went over to investigate and found a stick bug stuck in a spiderweb! I went outside and got it out with a stick (haha!) and it flew away. I know I messed with the circle of life but I don't care. The stick bug lived to see another day!

Then we watched an awesome movie called Side Effects starring Jude Law, Rooney Mara, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It's on Netflix so check it out! It's one of those psychological thriller/dramas.

After some crazy mileage on Friday and Saturday (10 miles then 8 miles) I decided to give my legs a second day of rest and lift back at home. I really wanted to run but I also wanted to give my legs some TLC.

Here are some vids of my pull ups!

I had leftover sushi as a post workout meal. If I'm ever rich, I am going to eat sushi for lunch every. single. day.

Much of the day was spent getting ready for the short work week ahead. Getting my oil changed was on my to do list, but luckily, Jiffy Lube was closed for the holiday so that errand was out of the question. Problem solved!

The evening was spent watching Survivor with Paul. For dinner I had a healthy salad with unhealthy jalapeno potato chips on top!

Do you have any lifting PRs you are proud of?
