Did Week 5, Day 3 - it felt fantastic! The sense of achievement (and disbelief) is so worth the effort!
Well done Cjnvgn and Mill09 for both managing your first 20 minute runs with seemingly very little fuss! Haha you are both doing fantastic and keeping me motivated.
Today I managed Week 4, day 3 but barely. I probably should have stopped in the last two minutes as I started to limp as I was in such agony but I was determined... and now, I ache like crazy!
It's all my own fault. I stopped doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred to focus on my running as although I could see massive changes in my body, I wasn't getting good weight losses. So after feeling strong following my Week 4, day 2 run I thought I should try and reincorporate Jillian WITH the running. Whilst in the long run this is a good idea, I should have maybe waited till the weekend when I have 2 rest days to re-start it as that lady seriously kicks my butt. This morning, after day 1 of the shred, I failed to get up early like I normally do to run, I was feeling so tired and a tiny bit achy. So... I went after work. OUCH! I'm taking tonight off from Jillian but am going to try and work her in over the weekend with her DVD and maybe a gym workout from a book of hers I have. Hopefully then my body will recover from the stress and I can keep up both on Monday (My next run day)... We will see...
It's totally my own fault though that it was such a struggle. I've been watching the biggest loser and that show may be cheesy and a bit ridiculous but it totally motivates me to push myself. I just need to be a bit smarter with the ways I do that.
Anyway I'll quit rabbiting on now...
