5K Training: Day 45

Jillian Michaels 30DS, Day 7

I actually did the WHOLE workout without stopping for a breath AT ALL. FUCK YEAH. No time to type. I need to shower and get ready to go intern. Woot!

5K Training: Day 44

Today has already started out awful. I don't think you'd believe me, or even want to hear about, what has happened in the two hours I've been awake. UGH. I was supposed to run 25-30 minutes, but unfortunately I only got to about 18 minutes before disaster hit.

1.32 miles in 18 minutes. Back to my old, slow pace. I have my internship today, so let's hope that things get better, WAAAY better from here on out.

5K Training: Day 43

Jillian Micheals 30DS, Day 6. Still kicking my ass, but I guess it's never supposed to be easy. I'm just hoping to be able to do the whole workout without stopping for a break. (Don't worry, Jillian, my break is no longer than five seconds.) Only four more workouts until I move up to Level 2. Eek!

Also, I weighed myself this morning and I'm back to normal range. It said 205.4 (I think) which is only 0.6 lbs over what it was when I left for the wedding. It took a while to work off that water weight or whatever you want to call it. Though it's nice to have the MFP community to help me through it because if I would have come back from the weekend to see a 10 lbs gain, I would have flipped a shit and pigged out in frustration thinking it really was a weight gain instead of a temporary one. :)

One last thing, my friend wants me to sign up for a 4 mile run on July 17th. I was just starting to think I could do a 3 miler, but 4 miles freaks me out. I may need to crank up the training soon...

5K Training: Day 42


I was supposed to run 1 mile today, but since I missed last week's 2 mile Sunday run, I thought I would try to go farther than 1 mile. I had hoped to run 2 miles, buuuuut that didn't happen. Oh well.

1.58 miles around Wash Park in 20 minutes and 34 seconds. That is straight up a 13 minute mile I was cruising at. WHAT. No wonder I couldn't push myself to to 2 miles; I was booking it (in my standards anyways). Oh well, it was nice to switch up the paths and get outside in the warm weather. :)

5K Training: Day 40

Jillian Michaels 30DS, Day 5

Not much to say today. It's getting really hot outside and not having air conditioning makes it quite miserable to work out in my apartment. Crank up the "air cooler" and call it a "hot" workout.

& I'm still trying to get off those "water weight" pounds from the weekend. I still don't believe that I could have gained weight, so it has to go away sometime. At least it's at a more manageable amount now--from 10 lbs to 4 lbs.

Cheers!

5K Training: Day 39

Ran 24 minutes and 14 seconds today. Still only 4 loops around the park (1.76 miles). And even though it was gorgeous outside, it was not a very good run. In the middle of the second lap, my legs just felt tired and unmotivated. Regardless, I pushed on and completed my time.

And now there's a giant ass moth living in my car. Luckily, I don't have to do much driving in these next few days so I'm hoping the heat and suffocation will kill it. PLEASE.

Oh, and my film screening is tonight! YAY.

PS-Notice the new ticker on the top of the page? Yep. New summer goal: 100 miles by September. Only 98 more to go!

5K Training: Day 38

I'm sorry, is it REALLY June already? Holy crap. After my film screening tomorrow night, I am officially done with my first year of graduate school! Woot woot. Although, I'll be filming my thesis all summer...but that's besides the point.

Anyways, Jillian Michaels 30DS, Day 4. She keeps telling me that I should be feeling a major change in endurance by day 5/6/7 but I'm still dying after each exercise and I still can't make my anterior raises go past my shoulders. Grrr. Perhaps it's because I'm not doing it everyday, only as cross-training. Oh well.

I'm also struggling with this water weight that's sticking around after this weekend. Apparently I'm like 8 lbs over what I was on Friday--which can't possible be right. I think I might try Jillian's 7 day cleanse drink to get rid of it.
