Yikes! School starts this month; my mind and body are not ready for this, but my work to get my body in shape is progressing again. I am proceeding along with my weight-loss goals that will put me at my 20 pound loss before school starts. Whoo-hoo!!!!
Sunday: 5 mile walk/run. 4 miles according to the half-marathon schedule, then a final 1 mile cool-down walk. Rainy, humid, had to take the walk breaks the schedule says I can (but that I was hoping not to), but did it!! I think I need to continue to do core strengthening exercises in between, though, as my lower back feels sore and weak; my right leg felt like it would give out twice on the run. Strength--I need strength!!
Monday: 35 min cardio yoga--sun salutations. All liquid diet today, trying to lay low a bit since I'm already hungry!
Tuesday: The big C went well--slept from about 11-1; didn't think I'd exercise except for a walk, but decided to run at about 7:40: Best run ever--ran 50 minutes straight! Plus walked about 10-15 minutes. Felt really good; I did eat beforehand, so I'm going to have to see if eating helps, 'cause I'm not depending on the Big C to do it! I also wonder if the yoga yesterday helped.
Wednesday: yoga for abs and arms
Thursday: 10 min walk/30 min run/10 min walk; to compare to Tu, didn't feel as strong, but felt pretty good. Felt better than I did Sunday. I did eat 1/2 hr before running (different than Sunday) but ran early as opposed to late (on Tu). Am trying to figure the variables that result in the optimal run and to see whether I should be running in the a.m. or p.m. . . . More as clues are discovered ;)
Friday: long-ish, hilly walk in my 'hood--45 min.; no Mic or Lisa :(
Saturday: 35 minute cardio yoga when I had to skip my yoga class
