Friday 1 hour strength

Friday was supposed to be swim and strength... I just couldn't bring myself to swim and do an hour of strength before work!

Instead of doing strength and lifting on my own, I went to a gym strength class before work. I hadn't done this class before (if you read regularly, you know this already!) and it seemed to for the bill. There was no cardio involved and we used hand weights and bars with weights. Since I have no clue my capacity or strength when it comes to this- or more importantly how fatigued my muscles would be for Saturday's 6 hour ride, I took it easy and got the 3 lowest sets of weights. Even thought the workout plan called for 1 hour, I think this 45 minute class was way more efficient. 

After the workday, I headed up to Madison (via the Huntley outlet mall!!) to grab a fish boil (YEAHHHH!) at Avenue Bar and then went over to John & Polly's to eat & crash. Polly was out of town, but John and I caught up over food (he asked me to get him a fish fry). It was really nice; I haven't hung out w John in ages and he seemed quite happy and content. Good to see in friends!!!
