love and be loved

Benn & I went to Dublin Road passing through Richmond/ Hancock, MA. On the way down we walked an easy pace and came across horse stables, so we stopped and looked at a few horses. Of course I had to pet and talk to them... especially one I adored named Fergie.  We also saw two very young foals.. it was cute to see their long stick legs and big furry bellies! Continued and looped back at a quickened pace. Finished 3.1 miles in 50 minutes.

FINALLY back to exercise! 4 days can feel like foreverrrrr. Back home after a few days of travel and appointments in Boston. Back home and got up this morning to stretch and do Power90 Cardio Sweat 3-4 (Power yoga, jumping jacks, running, kickboxing, etc!). Stretched after the workout and did a total of 330 crunches. Here is the breakdown:

45 standard crunches

35 left side crunches

35 right side crunches

40 knee up crunches

35 leg reach crunches

35 bent leg lower ab crunches

30 legs lift crunches

45 hip rock crunches

30 lower ab crunches

50 scissor crunches (2 "kicks" = 1 crunch)

45 full body crunches

Stretched again and did 65 lunges each, 3 sets of 30 squats, and 20 leg lifts on both sides. Then did a lot of squats and more stretching. My left knee has been kind of hurting a little and popping. Hmmm..

It snowed today! Drove to Monument Mountain with Benn for a hiking date. We saw lots of hikers today despite the cold! Always think of the proposal at the top and how lucky I am to have Benn in my life.
