Yesterday, I felt like this:
If you don’t watch Friends, you need to watch season 4, episode 4 to get this… well, you just need to watch all 10 seasons because it is the greatest show. Ever. Anyways, I had to text Kara yesterday so a fellow Friends fanatic could understand what I meant when I said I felt like Chandler trying to quit the gym. But more on that in another post.
I woke up a little late this morning (actually, I was busy reading Corrie Anne’s exciting announcement that she quit her job! Congrats!) so I only had time for a 4 miler (and noticed there’s a new CrossFit box in the neighborhood!). It turns out, 4 is a good number today because I also did 4 minutes worth of planks. I did 30 seconds on each side, plus in the middle (“normal”). I also did some ball wall squats.
So, I thought these babies would be pretty easy.
Um, no.
I could only make it 30 seconds at a time and I was pretty sure my legs were going to shake themselves right off my body.
I ended up doing 3 reps of 30 seconds.
Yes, I’m very weak!
If I do these everyday, I’m convinced I’ll have legs stronger than Superman and Spider-Man combined.
Speaking of which, Spider-Man comes out tonight! We were going to try to do the midnight showing but because it’s past our bedtime we have nothing to do tomorrow, we’re going to see it tomorrow instead. Plus, it’s supposed to be like 90-some degrees again so we can leech off the movie theatre for some free A/C.
And, I saw this quote this morning and have to pass it on… it is SO true! It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are, whether you run marathons or 5ks or if you’ve run for years or just started… running is all about YOU and challenging yourself.
“It’s very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.” ― George Sheehan

Are you a Friends fanatic? What are your plans for the 4th this year?

I used to LOVE Friends. Have not seen it in years though. We are headed to two picnics for the 4th. I plan on being asleep before fireworks though, lol.
Hahah isn't it funny how the kids only have enough energy to make it through the fireworks?
Sadly, we have no plans for the 4th. Puts a damper on things when it falls in the middle of the week.
I will probably sleep in and then go workout and then who knows what else…..
Brilliant quote! Yes the race is always with that little voice in your head!
Hope you all have a great 4th July whatever you're up to.

ps. well done on your 10k last weekend and hope the wisdom tooth problem has all healed up ok. x
Thank you!! And yes, it is feeling much better… well on the road to recovery!
Agree! But, sleeping in is enough of a celebration for me!!
I cannot wait to see spiderman! And when I first saw your post, I thought it was in reference to sesame street! haha Also, I adore friends and stayed up well past bedtime last night to watch it on nick at night
Hahah
OMG, I love that it is on Nick at Night now… if only I could get my fiance to love the show as much as I do hahah.
I love that episode!! And every Friends episode!!! Thanks for the congrats. This is my last 8 hour day!! Yay!
That is SO exciting and what a great feeling!!
Love friends! I'm headed to the beach tomorrow, so excited!
Enjoy the beach!
Friends is the best! And that episode is hilarious. Just like all the others.
We will be at the pool tomorrow!
Ooh that sounds like a great way to spend the 4th!!
Total Friends FANATIC! I actually watched that episode last night, too! HA! But good for you for just sucking it up and doing the workout, instead of heading to the bank to "Cut them off at the source!"
Hhahah
I can't wait to see Spiderman! I like the actors in this one so much more than the other one from a few years ago.
This 4th I'll be hosting on my roofdeck with some food and sangria
Ditto!! I've heard it's really good. That sounds like a great way to celebrate the 4th!!
hahaha I WANNA QUIT THE GYM!!
I think I've probably seen every Friends episode twice and I watch the reruns every time they come on. It brings back such fond memories of growing up. I can't believe it's been over 10 years since it's been on air for real.
That is CRAZY, seriously 10 years? That will always be my fav show!
That sounds like a fantastic workout to me! Love those planks
Ditto – my fav ab workout by far!!
[...] had big plans to work on my jump roping this morning, but sidelined that and instead did a few ball squats. I am happy to report that I managed to increase my time by 5 seconds for each rep. BOOM. Love when [...]
