Day 35

Scheduled: 30-45 min XT

Jilian Michaels - 30 min backside DVD

I miss doing this workouts. It was good because I did some weights with cardio. I did not have a lot of time so it was a perfect workout to do. I was tired at the end but I feel like I can do these workouts a little better than I could before.

It was a pretty good run. My body was tired before I started but I made it through it.

Day 33

Dance Jam

We danced to 80's music with some 80's dancing. It was awesome! What more can I say.

My body was really hurting today. My legs were tired but I did try and push myself. I know that I was at 6.0 for only 3 minutes but I need to keep working towards that. It has also been really hard to workout at 5 am and try to stay awake the next day and be rested for my next workout. My mind and body are tired and I need to make sure that I am getting in more sleep or I am just going to collapse one day. Any suggestions?

Oh, so close to going over my goal. I was definitely not at the top of my game for this run. It was really early in the morning. I almost wanted to work on walking so I can practice going at a faster speed - maybe on another day. I also lifted a few weights and that felt great! I need to really work at fixing that in.

Day 30

Scheduled: 12-13 miles

12.12 miles in 155 minutes (12.78 min/mile)

Not my best showing. Actually it is the slowest I have been since I started. I really struggled through this run. I ran in the neighborhood and I thought I was doing okay. However, the last 3 miles about killed me. I was having a hard time wanting to continue. I ended up walking more during the last 3 miles than I wanted. I need to work on my walk speed also. I have been really slowing down during this time, especially when I am going up a hill. I cannot seem to get myself going other than to just actually make it to the top. Saturday was pretty discouraging because I wanted to have a good run. I need to eat before I run though and refuel myself during the run. I was able to keep moving once it was over though and that is good. I kind of did not have a choice but maybe that is good since it is probably better to keep going then sitting too much. My goal at this point is to just finish - no matter how long it takes me!

Day 29

Scheduled: 30-45 min XT

Turbo Jam - Punch, Kick, Jam

I love these days. I enjoy the mix up in the routine and the opportunity to work other areas of my body. I did not do it with the hand weights, mainly because I forgot, and it was the first time for that. It was easier but it was nice to enjoy the workout.
