Oh my aching gluteus maximus!!

So last night's workout was great!  Lots of cardio!  First Kathy split us up in to teams of 2 and each "team" had a set of exercises to do.  We warmed up on the treadmill and then started out list of 4 exercises and when we were finished came back to the treadmill and did a incline based routine....
1-2 minutes @ 2%
2-4 minutes @ 4%
4-6 minutes @ 6%
6-8 minutes @ 8%
8-10 minutes @ 10%
10-12 minutes @ 12%
12-14 minutes @ 14%
14-16 minutes @15%
and that completed the circuit.  We did this 2 times through...HOWEVER, Russ and I were lucky enough to get "Other Machines" as our list of 4 exercises.  So following our warm up on the treamill we did 3 minutes on each of the following:
StairMaster
Elliptical
Bike
Arc Trainer
and then back to the treadmill....by the second round on the stair master my left glute was KILLING m and everytime I took a step it felt like it was tearing, but was I smart and stopped?  Hell no!  I pushed through the pain and probably shouldn't have.  I completed my work out and with the exception of the aching glute, felt AMAZING!  The kids and I went to the store and picked up a bunch of healthy foods to restock the cupboard from my little tantrum.  We got:

Morning Star Farms Breakfast Sandwiches
Baby Carrots
Sugar Snap Peas
Almonds
Better Oats Oatmeal (THEY HAVE NEW FLAVORS - SUPER STOKED!)
Skippy Natural Peanut Butter
Veggie Chips
Corn and Black Bean Salsa
Hummus
Chobani Greek Yogurt
Cliff Protein Bars
and some other things I can't remember for the life of me.

We went home and had dinner which included Broccoli/Pasta Salad (LOTS of veggies, whole wheat pasta, and a light dressing sweetened with Agave and honey) and went to bed shortly after.  I woke up this morning feeling wonderful!  YAY!  Showered and headed in to work....
