Open field!

The last 2 days I've just ran a 5k then did a mile/2 mile extra in on and off jogging- then some of my Jillian DVD- but I kind wanted to do something different today!

I did my Jillian (No more trouble zones) dvd which is always brutal - and I guess I was on a work out high and decided I should go do sprints? My legs were already wobblin- that Jillian makes you do some squats and lunges I tell yah.


Sprinting on a sidewalk on the side of a busy road would just be weird- so I went to our local soccer field!


 
I miss the days I used to play competitively  growing up!


I did springs from one light post to the next diagonally, spring to one, jog to the next, spring to the next- etc.
 
 Who knew jumping could be so exhausting?  Got creative and did squat jumps side to side in box- that almost made me sweat more than sprints did! Then took some jumps to the stairs!



After all said and done, my legs were shaking and I could have crawled back to my car- I didn't burn as much calories as I have been on my 4+ mile jogs but I'm hoping I burned some fat by keeping the heart rate moving with springs and intervals!



...back to the apartment to make my protein smoothie dinner & sit on the couch to watch Extreme Makeover Weightloss & Catfish :)
