So yesterday's workout was a ROUGH one!! I felt like I had been beat down and then stayed that way the rest of the day!! We did.....wait, I did sprints yesterday on the treadmill and it was already 83 degrees at 8am =( Sprints were 20/10's with the starting speed of 8.8mph!! I did ten in a row then took a 2-3min walk then did another six. Was suppose to do 3 sets of 8 but yea NO!! I'm truly a person who tries to appreciate the seasons but come on, how can you keep appreciating this heat?? Fall where are you?? Please hurry!!
Today's plan is to run the hill, abs, arms, legs but we will see. I will post today's workout tonight.

Hot and Humid..
Today was so hot and humid that when it was time to go for the workout I was seriously having second thoughts. Margie and I were suppose to run the hill and do abs and legs tonight. However, when we got there they were having some kinda get together or event on the hill. There were tons of people and a live band. So we just walked/ran and then did our abs and legs. When we were done we were done we ran over to get soup and a salad then came home and she did the treadmill and I did the elliptical. We both were so drenched it wasn't even funny. Tomorrow is gonna be just as bad so I will have to get my workout in early!
Todays workout:
Walk/Run with abs, and legs
30min Elliptical

Wow are you serious??
So here I am making good on my promise to do a better job at blogging. Over the weekend I didn't workout those were my rest days. Was kinda good but you really pay for it when you do workout. I might try splitting up the days when I only do 5 days of workouts. My eating on Sunday was AWFUL!!! It was like nothing was satisfying me and I couldn't get full. Oh well I guess you have those days. Lets just hope those are very far and few in between.
Todays workout was hard but so glad that I was pushed and that I finished.
Workout with Kyle:
Sprints 4 sets of 4 40/20's at 8.5....such a love hate relationship for sure!!
Then we did tons of abs, squats, and push-ups.
Now it's off to Youngs Dairy with the family =)

Keeping it real...
So here I am...again. I know I pretty much suck at this blogging thing. However, I've decided that I'm gonna try and do better. I want to try and post my daily workouts so that I can keep track of what I'm doing. My plan is to do some 5k's, a 10k, and a half marathon then maybe a full marathon and all by next September 2011. I'm not a fast runner and have no plans to try and be one. I just like knowing that I can get out there and run. Right now I can do 5 miles and it takes me right at about 56min. If I naturally pick up my speed then, well that will be great. But my goals might be a little different than some of the other runners I know and for right now my goal is to just get out there and then journal about it. So hopefully I will be able to look back and see how far I have come.
This past weeks workouts:
Monday: Sprints and weights in the a.m. then 40min elliptical in the p.m.
Tuesday: Ran the "HILL" and then did arms, abs, legs in the a.m. then ran 3miles in the p.m.
Wednesday: 90min elliptical
Thursday: Sprints and weights
Friday: Ran the "HILL" along with arms, abs, legs, then ran 2miles on the treadmill
Not a bad week if I say so myself!! The plan for Saturday and Sunday is to take it easy....Have a great weekend=)

Fall....
Fall.....yea I am ready for everything that it brings. I love the smell of fall, the pumpkins, the crunching of the leaves, the cool fall days leading into some chilling evenings, the walks, football, hayrides, and so much more!! I truly appreciate each season and what they bring but Fall is my absolute favorite!!
Okay what have I been up to? Well, I have still been pounding out the sprints on the treadmill. I have been trying to recapture a relationship with the treadmill so that I can at least put 2 to 3 miles in several times a week. So far not bad. I do love running I just need to not put so much pressure on myself that I HAVE to put in long miles at high speed. I just need to do it and have fun with it. The sprints have been going great!! Like I said in an earlier post they are a love/hate relationship! One good thing about them is that I do feel that they have helped with my softball. Running those bases are hard fast sprints...
Well tonight is our first night of Bootcamp=) I was able to talk my hubby and my son to do this with me. I'm excited but hope that I can do this and hope that it turns out to be a fun positive thing for all of us. This will be 2x a week in the evening and will last for 4 weeks. I'm hoping to do this plus keep up with my other workouts....So we will see.
Tomorrow I am joining a very popular and hard bible study. I'm a little scared to do this but really feel in my heart this is what I need to do. I go to the open study tomorrow and they have you fill out paper work giving them information about yourself and your bible knowlege. After that they place you in a small group setting which can take up to a few weeks before they place you.
Tomorrow also, I am leaving to go on a little getaway with my homies to Gatlinburg. This is a group of 10 of us and this will be our 4th year I believe. This group of women has been an amazing blessing in my life. Each of them are very unique and brings something to the relationship. Totally amazes me that this friendship of this many women is as strong as it is for as long as it has been. How many women do you know that can get together under the same roof for several days and it be all good? We come back home tired yet refreshed. Our cheeks and bellies hurt from sooooo much laughing. And each year I come home learning yet another thing about each of them that makes me love them even more.
Have a great Tuesday=)
