Weekend & Workout Round Up!

I’m baaaaaaaaack! I had a GREAT time in Denver and I have to say, I was not happy to arrive back in my apartment! As much as I love living in Chicago, there’s nothing like spending 24/7 with your best friend.

We didn’t do anything too exciting in Denver, I’ve been there quite a few times and just went to hang out with her, not be a tourist. We did, however, have quite a few drinks and spent an obscene amount of time doing our hair… perfect girls weekend.

I arrived on Friday around noon and we had lunch, hit up Target, got some froyo and then went to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make dinner for our movie night. On Saturday it was off to the Denver Art Museum where I got to see an exhibit called Passport to Paris, featuring a lot of French artists throughout history, including some beautiful furniture pieces. They also included a gallery of impressionist art, which is one of my favorite styles, and I really, really enjoyed it! See? Got a little culture in…

That evening we went to a couple parties that she’d been invited to so I could meet a few of her Denver area friends.

Sunday morning we headed to brunch at Sam’s No 3 where we got prepped for game day. Chiefs vs. Broncos in Denver was a big deal and our day pretty much focused around the game… which was at 6:30pm. We got a few harassers at various bars once we donned our Chiefs jerseys, but it was a lot calmer than I expected. Sadly I can’t say too many great things about the game… Rematch in two weeks.

Don’t you love iPhone selfies where no one can figure out where to look?..

Monday morning it was off to the airport and back to Chicago. If only girls weekend could be forever… Anyone have a money tree I could borrow? Ha. Well, now on to workouts!

First, we’ll take a look at last week’s workouts. When I was doing my week’s workouts I completely forgot to take into account that I’d be in Denver for the weekend! So I definitely moved things around:

Monday: 3 miles + 12 min HIIT workout from Purely Twins

Tuesday: Purely Inspire Workout #5 (weights workout) + elliptical

Wednesday: 4 miles + Purely Fit Workout #21 (16 min tabata workout) 6 miles!

Thursday: 3 miles + Purely Fit Workout #5 (15 minute HIIT workout) Purely Fit Workout #21 (16 min tabata workout)

Friday: 4 miles

Saturday: REST

And now, here’s what I have coming up for this week:

Monday: REST – got back later than I expected from Denver and just wanted to relax

Tuesday: 3 miles + Purely Fit Weights Workout

Wednesday: 4 miles + 20 Min Purely Fit AMRAP pyramid workout
