This weekend I ran 8 miles. Yes your read it 8 miles! Only 5 more and I will run the whole she-bang, the who kahuna, the whole pie, the whole bag of cookies (mmmmm cookies), the whole 64 slices of american cheese (mmmmm), the whole 13.1! It wasn't the easiest run that I have ever had, but it was not bad at all! I should have run outside, but I ran on the treadmill again. The first run outside after you have been running on the treadmill SUCKS! But after that it should be smooth sailing!
Currently I am running 3-4 days per week and cross training 1-2 days per week. For crosstraining I joined a workout group at my church. Last week we did a sort of boot camp workout, and I was very sore! I rested 2 days before my 8 miler, but my legs were still a little sore! I need to do some more muscle building exercises I think. I have been talking to one of my friends (you know who you are ) about possibly investing in the insanity workout or P90X. If you have any thoughts please post a comment! I am also considering Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.
This week I am running 3 miles on Mon and Tues, bootcamp or kickboxing on Wed, then gazelle on Thurs or Fri and rest the other day, the 9 miles on Saturday! I need to get some more jelly beans for my run! I have discovered that Jelly Belly makes and energy bean w/ electrolytes and I really like those! My supply is almost out so I need to look into getting more!
As far as the eating goes, I need more protein! I am trying to incorporate other grains into my diet including steel cut oats, quinoa, and wheat berries. If you have suggestions please comment! Also any good recipes that use protein powder? That stuff has ALOT of protein, but it tastes so chalky to me!
I will update on my progress this week! Happy trails everyone!

Jim and I are doing p90x right now and I'm running 4-5 days per week. It's super hard to do both but I can't give up running and I'm determined to finish p90x! P90x workouts are 1-1:30 hours everyday so it's intense!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your 8 miler! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing about the P90X workout, I'd like to hear more from people I know who have tried it. \[o_O]/
