Playfair Park

The little Miss Chibi and I get bored walking down the street to our same old park all of the time.  Michael suggested I try walking over to another nearby park to check out their amazing Rhododendrons instead!

Playfair Park is a little far for us to walk on a work day so we drove over but did enjoy a quick stroll through the absolutely amazing Rhodos and then a heart pumping walk up the hills of the residential area around the park.

Probably a better place for a picnic rather than a workout walk but still one of the most beautiful hidden gems in all of Victoria.  Lovely!

A Quick 15

With only about 15 minutes to fit in a workout today, I easily could have talked myself out of it. Definitely no time for a run, which made me consider just skipping the whole thing...but I didn't! Instead I just used the time for some minor strength training and I'm so glad I did. :)

15 of each:

- crunches
- reverse crunches
- bicycle crunches
- 1 minute plank
- downward dog pushups
- regular pushups (girlie)
- tricep pushups (girlie)
- squats
- plie squats
- bridge raises (two legs)
- bridge raises (each leg)
- crunches again

Man, I can't wait to get in a proper run and workout when I get home. (ha, who knew I would EVER say that!?). You guys are going to be bombarded with posts when I finish vacation. :)
