Today's song: The Golden Age by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
Day two! I'd say I'm doing pretty fabulously so far at keeping up with this whole daily writing thing (haaaaaha). Anywho, I've had another pretty good day! I woke up from the strangest dream though...I was in Oakland on this particular afternoon, just walking around enjoying the city. All of a sudden I walked up to this huge white Escalade, jumped in, somehow turned the car on and started speeding around! Obviously this car did not belong to me but I had not a single care in the world. The police started chasing me and it turned into one of those insane high-speed chases you see on television shows. Eventually, I sped away from the police and pulled over in a parking lot. The owner of the vehicle was standing there waiting...I handed him the keys and casually walked away as if nothing had happened. And that was it. I'm not sure if this means I secretly have a criminal mind of sorts or what, but it's pretty strange, yeah?
Moving right along, I'm still buried in my mountains of laundry. Although in my defense, the amount of clothing I have in my possession that does not belong to me is unbelievable. I mean, I have hoodies, shirts on shirts on shirts, even some socks. Insanity. After throwing yet another load into the washer, I decided that today would be the first day of my workout routine that I'm starting up! It seems like every summer, by the time I wake up, bum around for a bit and finally get dressed and get my ipod and sneakers ready to go, it is THE hottest part of the day. Today for instance, I left my house at about 3:20pm. It was about eighty degrees but I didn't mind. More sweat + more struggle = more fun, right? Yes! So I ran around my neighborhood which is about three miles all around, if you go into each nook and cranny, which I am proud to say that I did. Okay, okay I may have not ran the entire time but I still made it around the whole thing. By the time I got back I was pretty red in the face and out of breath. I grabbed myself a cup of ice cold water and came to my room to do my ab circuit. I could barely see straight but isn't that just the best feeling? When you know that you've worked out so hard and you just feel so exhaustedly pleased with yourself? I sat down on my bedroom floor only to realize that I had not planned out any kind of ab exercises to do. I know a whole bunch but I'm not professional trainer and had no idea which ones I should do or if there is a specific order I should do them in. I did some google-ing and texted my workout loving brother and came up with a nice little list...
Crunches - 30 sec
Leg raises - 30 sec
Bicycles - 30 sec
Russian twists - 30 sec
Side plank - 30 sec/side
Reg. plank - 30 sec
So I did all those, then repeated it two more times. I felt pretty accomplished afterwards. Not only were my legs burning and screaming at me to sit down, but my abs could barely hold themselves together as I walked to the shower. I'm feeling pretty good about myself today...no complaints, for once! This entry may have been a little boring but I didn't really go out in the world and do anything besides run around my neighborhood like a sweaty fool.
Thanks for reading anyways :)
Love,
Rachel
