Training Log Monday. What Counts As Exercise
As you can tell from the lack of training log updates last week – it was not one where I exercised a lot. I think I only got 3 days in. The boyfriend and I were LAZY all week, although, I stripped the wallpaper from our dining room on Saturday and it took me 5 hours! Does that count as an arm workout? I would love to count it – but I’m sure it doesn’t.
Well, it’s a new week. The boyfriend went to work early this morning for his 24 hour shift (he’s a fireman) and I was going to slack off today on working out because I have a MOUNTAIN of laundry and a house to CLEAN from top to bottom AND I’m behind on work,. But as I was checking updates from my favorite bloggers (that counts as work right?!), I came across Roni’s blog post: A Sensational Run Recap. She did 9 miles and she didn’t even feel like running that day. Well, ya know what?! I got my butt in gear and put my workout clothes on immediately!
I didn’t have enough time to make it to the gym and back before the little one returned from school (he only goes for 1/2 a day), so I ran OUTSIDE. It was windy and a little cold (I’m from Jamaica – if it’s not 75 – it’s cold), but I did 2.28 miles in 24.36 minutes – there were lots of HILLS – ummm … I don’t do hills on the treadmill so I must admit I walked a few times. It was not a spectacular run by any means, but I feel psyched to work out for the rest of the week.
Challenge Yourself. Since I couldn’t make the run around my neighborhood without walking, my April Challenge is to be able to run the entire distance by the end of the month – hills and all!
I also started the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels
Musically. This is the last time you’ll see this – I promise. Since this was an impromptu run I didn’t want to try anything new – so I put on … Diplo vs SantoGold Top Ranking Mix. I think I’ve played this too many times, so I am retiring it.
