Standing Makes Me Happy!

Today I decided to do a fast moving 44!  This was a good one for feeling a burn in my quads!!! I did a lunge with a floor touch.

This 44 went quickly!!  Of course, after I did 44 on one side, I had to switch and do another set of  44 to stay balanced!!!  

And – check out my shirt in the video – recognize the color?  

bright yellow!

Hunter gave me this shirt so that when we run a half marathon together in the spring (he wants to do one to celebrate turning 13!!!) we can match!!!  So excited about it!

Today was another running day.  I wanted to go further so I slowed my pace from the past couple of runs!  I used 1.5% incline and did 10 miles in 80:15 + 1 easy cool down mile.  I started out much slower and increased the speed every half mile for a nice run!!!

Over the past year, I’ve found myself sitting a lot more than I want to.  And the reason is my computer and the time I spend blogging and doing other things on it.  

I knew that I wanted to make a change but I still wanted to be able to spend time on the computer so…..

this is what I wanted for Christmas

I told Chris awhile back that I wanted a standing work station but not a big one because I wanted it to be  portable.  This one is perfect!!!  It is on wheels and very easy to move so I can have it in the kitchen, living room, dining room or wherever I want to be!!!

I love it since I always write my post for the day after I finish working out and I hate to just plunk myself in a chair – perfect solution!!!  Now when I’m being productive reading blogs I won’t feel like such a slug!!!

Have you ever tried a standing work station?  Do you prefer to stand or sit?
In the past I tried our kitchen table and the island – both were too low!!!  I feel much more productive when I stand, too!!!  (might be mental but….)

Happy Friday!!
