I’m exhausted. I’ve physically pushed my limits this week, but in that really good I think it would be better if a mountain lion gnawed off my legs way. Running nearly 18-miles on Sunday combined with yesterday’s 10-miler and all the other workouts in-between earned me was a well deserved date night last night.
As a general rule, Runner Susan’s alcohol limit is two glasses of wine – three and she falls asleep in the car on the way home from date night. If I remember correctly, Runner Susan had two glasses of wine before she even left the house last night. Then she had a glass or five during dinner. And then, perhaps a little late night Nocello passed her lips.
And since last night’s mascara is still smeared all over my face in the following video, I’m willing to wager that I went a little over-board in the adult beverage department. I’m so classy that way. I’m not sure what happened to the lipstick, but I’m guessing Michael could fill you in there.
Today you’ll notice how my torturer, Cindy, ties me up and throws heavy balls at me. Repeatedly. Which I feel is a little unfair considering my delicate condition. You’ll also notice that my plate runners have terrible form today; my butt gets way too high.
Again, this is just a snippet of the workout to measure my progress. We repeat all these exercises times three and do so much more than what is in these videos. Oh, and feel free to skip the stretching at the end; again it’s just a personal measure of progress for me. And by personal I mean for the entire Internet.
If there’s an important lesson to be learned here, it’s this: Never tell your trainer when you have a hangover.

Wow! I admire you for tolerating the leg exercise.
Hmmmm…so this cures hangovers?? Sweet. *taking notes*
Gotta give some of those moves a shot.
Keep that up and you will be in beach volleyball shape in no time!
Those bench situps are looking really smooth. You’re getting stronger – Chicago 08!
You’re improving Susan. Nice work on the bench – no wonder you were knackered on the plates.
Cindy is good – mean, but good.
wow! you have made some really good progress in a short amount of time!
(is it wrong that we enjoy seeing you hurt?)
Suz,
Great work Suz! See the clean eating, running and leg torture are all coming together.
And I watch all of it without sound. I imagine this video would be much more entertaining if I could actually hear some of the action as well, but such is life. One of the days I’ll go buy some speakers for my computer since my kids stole mine for theirs.
I don’t know…the sounds might have gotten you in trouble. Vaugely similar to a women’s tennis match if I remember correctly. Maybe it was just my imagination.
Isn’t alcohol mostly carbs anyway? You just were getting a head start on this weekend’s long run. (And you cleaned up nicely in the video, or skillfully removed evidence of the previous evening’s headbanger.)
I’d have puked…
Just sharing
You look great (as usual), butt way too high, or not.
On those step-ups it looks like the right leg is the dominant strong leg and the left is just along for the ride.
Nice movie and a good traning!!.
.
And you can play soccer the next time
Groet Rinus.

I’ve missed a whole lot of posts, but I hope to catch up. The leg torture looks tough (bet it feels that way too) – “well-done” to you.
