Since my last post about staying dedicated to my work outs and making sure I actually go to the gym. Well, I went for a 4 mile run on Sunday – which I kept pushing back. “I’ll go at 12….I’ll go at 12:30….Okay, no I’m going at 1.” I actually did finally get out of my bed at 12:45 and went to the gym. I told myself that I would run 4 miles, one more than my usual runs. When I finished, I felt fantastic! It just goes to show that when I put my mind to something, I can totally do it!
On Monday, I went to my Cardio Party class – it kicked my butt! (Thanks, Annie!) When we were doing our kickboxing portion, we used dumb bells when we punched. WOW. Even though they were only 2 pounds, when you do hundreds of punches, it starts to add up! Needless to say, I woke up really sore the next morning. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to do when I’m sore is go for a run the next day. So I didn’t go for a run on Tuesday. I know, I know. It’s no real “excuse,” but still. I did go to my work out class again yesterday and am going on the treadmill today!
My theory: one day off doesn’t kill anyone – as long as it is deserved!
That sounds like way too much – I’d probably just nap for a week after all that. I was in a pretty good routine but then I got sick like 3 times in a row. No fun there. I think I’ll be better by next week…but no cardio parties for me. Maybe we should have one in class?
