Day 9 of my running challenge is wrapped up.
I did 14 minutes of running, followed by about 15 minutes of leg work, and then some stretching.
Bit stiff today, and likely should not have worn the heels I did. The shoes don’t have good support, and I came home with achy feet and then ran. No [...]
Day 8 of my running challenge was a tight squeeze, but I completed it on schedule. We had an early dinner planned with friends tonight, so I raced home, got my run in, cleaned up, and out to dinner on time. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get it in afterwards, and the way [...]
Day 7 of my running challenge is complete.
Still not feeling tip top, so I ran the full time, but did a light jog versus my interval training. Was pretty tired and sore, not my usual self, but glad I still completed my time for the day. I feel like I am progressing, with my cardio [...]
Well, as nature is not something to be messed with, today was just one of those days. Sometimes its not so fun being a chick.
I decided I could not lay around in misery all day, so I finally dragged bum onto the treadmill in hopes of something involving movement.
Did 8 minutes of a fast walk, [...]
Almost wrapped up on this challenge. I haven’ t been nearly as focused, but on the couple of tasks I most wanted to achieve, I am doing well on.
Wake up on time – I am doing VERY well on this component. Last weekend I got up both days at the designated 5:30 mark, all weekdays [...]
5 days of my running challenge complete.
The time went up to 12 minutes today, and I pushed it pretty hard throughout. Boy do I need to work on that cardio. I am concentrating quite a bit on my breathing, right now my legs could definitely go much much longer then my chest.
Looks like I am [...]
Another day complete on my running challenge, very happy. Had some tasks to do this evening, but I made it a point to get my exercise done first so it didn’t fall off the list later on.
Good run, improvement, and followed it up with a 20 minute upper body workout. Then followed it up with [...]
11 minutes complete for my running challenge.
Then followed up with about 20 minutes of lower body strength training on the bowflex.
Feeling very good, pumped up, energetic, and not sore. After years of being sick and fatigued and always in pain, its nice that my body is FINALLY becoming in sync with everything else. Its nice [...]
10 minutes on today’s schedule for the running challenge, complete.
It was a tight squeeze, had a dentist appt which ran late, had to run a couple quick errands, and ended up racing home to run. Gave the hubby orders on how to start a few things for dinner, changed clothes, hit the treadmill, and rolled [...]
Day 1 running challenge complete! I love the first day. Motivation is super high, energy is off the charts, and you feel like you can conquer anything.
Course, if tradition holds, around day 4 or so I am going to be wondering what I got myself into….but I will just enjoy my current state!
My 10 minute [...]
