Just Call Me Rocky

June 3, 2010

Ok, so I lied. I ran up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and acted just like Rocky. I couldn’t help myself! ;-)

This photo was actually taken next to the “Rocky Steps,” but I’m sure you can imagine my excitement! ;-)

Rocky!

Jenna and I participated in Sabrina’s bootcamp class this evening. It was an awesome full body workout! And we got to run up and down the stairs a bunch of times, so I was a happy (and sweaty) camper!

Before bootcamp, I ate a slice of pizza and drank half of an iced coffee at the airport. Let’s just say it wasn’t the best choice before a workout.

Shower then dinner out on the town! :mrgreen:

Fun! We went to Philly on a class trip and everyone ran up. Parts of the city are really nice. Have a good night!

I love running up (or walking too) those steps! My husband used to live there so we would do it when I would go down there. Have fun I love Philly!

That looks like a lot of fun running up the stairs. I love working out in groups and bringing it outside must have been fun!

I did the same thing while we were in Philly for the marathon–totally not ashamed!

I think everyone who visits Philly has to do the Rocky pose on the steps. It’s almost a requirement if you go there!

Tina! I’m a loyal follower (of all your blogs!), and I’m trying to find your 3-minute oatmeal cookie recipe, but I cant seem to!
Would you mind re-posting the link on honor of Cookie Friday? or maybe you could just email me the link to your recipe? (fraisesdubois@gmail.com)

Happy upcoming weekend!

Hi Tina!
I have recently lost 70lbs, and for to long I lived in fear of gaining even one lbs of that weight back. You have inspired me, daily, to eat a healthy balanced diet, and to HAVE FUN! You are an amazing romodel and woman and I love your blog. Thank you for your daily dedication!

I ran those steps when I visited Philly too. And then I went and stuffed my face with cheese steaks. :)
