The Bright Side

friday's workout and a movie

• Treadmill Time: 95 min. (jog 5 min./walk 1 min. intervals)
• Totals: Jogged 75 min. and walked 20 min.
• Distance: 6.01 miles
• Calories: According to treadmill: 889, Polar monitor read 663
• HR: ave. 130, high 150

This workout rocked.  I earned a total of 66 WW activity points this week.  Can't quite get used to these new higher points, 66 points sounds crazy!

During tonight's workout I watched the movie, Pirate Radio. Have you ever seen it?  It takes place in the 60's and includes great music and an awesome ensemble cast including Bill Nighy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Sturridge, Rhys Ifans and Emma Thompson.  Sort of silly in parts, but overall good fun.  Written and directed by Richard Curtis of Love Actually, Bridget Jones and Nottinghill fame.  If you liked any of those films, chances are you would enjoy Pirate Radio.

 

 

thursday's workout

• Spinning:  Spinnervals - Lean & Mean
• 316 calories
• 60 minutes
• HR: ave. 114, high 141
• Felt great!

Loved this new Spinnervals 4.0 DVD.  It focuses on interval work, which was great.  Near the end, the trainer has you get off the bike and do a series of squats and isometric squats.  Wow, my quads were shakin' and quakin'!  It was a challenge.  

Tonight, while I was spinning, I watched Under the Tuscan Sun.  Man, I love that movie.  Ah, Italy.  Tuscany.  The Amalfi Coast.  Positano.  It must be one of the most beautiful places on the planet.  I've been there twice and I'd go back there in a heartbeat.

Positano

 

The Hotel Santa Caterina

This is where we stayed in Amalfi, The Hotel Santa Caterina.  Heaven on earth.  Take a mini-vacation by clicking on the link above and take a little tour.  So beautiful.  I highly recommend it.

Wait.  How did I end up talking about Amalfi in the middle of my workout report?  Oh, right. Under the Tuscan Sun.  

 

 

Ok, enough.  Back to reality.  Time for bed.  

Night!
