Today was Day 2 and I was feeling quite motivated. Since I'm doing a hybrid of P90X I skipped the dvd today and hit the road. I was quite ambitious with 5.25 miles planned. I felt great and was eager to get out there and accomplish it. This 5.25 miles was not only quite long but hilly too! I kept a slow pace and tried to push through; however, there were periods of walking. I had hoped to run it non-stop, but that didn't happen.
I made it just short of my turn around point and decided to use it as rest for the way back home. Once I started running again I felt surprising great...then I got back to the hills...they sucked! My 5.25 mile run was finished in 1 hour with 3 periods of walking. Not my best work but a great start nonetheless. Today really made me realize how hard I am going to have to work in order to be ready for 13.1 miles in 5 weeks!
Tomorrow brings the Shoulders & Arms dvd followed by AbRipper X. Considering my shoulders and abs are very sore from yesterday's Chest & Back dvd this should be interesting. I love being sore though. It reminds me why I'm doing this and that it is working.
The diet is still a "work in progress". I'm not doing horrible but do have some lapses...thank goodness the Chips Ahoy cookies are now gone! (I'm pretty sure I ate 3/4 of the package in less than 12 hours...oops)
Pictures didn't get taken today but hopefully tomorrow.
