Ouch!

I'm sore! Is anyone else sore? Being sore motivates me to keep working out, because I know that I have been working hard. I also know that it will get better in about a week and instead of sornesss I will feel rejuvenated from my workouts.

Does soreness motivate you or not? Why?


Thursday Workout: Jullian Michaels video. DONE!!!
Friday Workout: Two mile run and 10 stair sprints.

2 miles

I did it. I finally got back to running. It has been a three month hiatus due to moving twice in the past three months.

The route I took yesterday was suggested by a friend. This friend walks the route. I can see why. The very begining of the route is straight up hill for nearly 3/4 of a mile. It made me huff and puff like the little engine that could. However, getting to the top of the hill was thrilling. There is a beautiful over look of LA and surrounding cities. I stopped to enjoy the pink and purple sunset, mountains, and twinkling city lights. i didn't stop for too long though, I didn't want to lower my heart rate.

The way back was much easier. There was only a slight uphill and then going down the evil hill, I had climbed earlier. I love going down hill. I get to open up my stride and feel like a track star!

At the very end of the route I stopped and did sprinted 2 flights of stairs outside my apartment complex. I would have loved to go to ten, but I had a blister on my hill and it burst. Ouch! Maybe friday.

Goals: Plyometrics video on Thursday. 2 mile run and 10 stair sprints on Friday.

Woohoo

It worked! :-) And I even managed to add new authors successfully!

Anyway, my update for now is that this week I have managed to drag myself back into the gym (after a couple of weeks laziness) and I also attended my Bodypump class this morning. I am working on getting my gym performances back to where I was before holidays/laziness kicked in.

I need to work on getting my diet back on track and get back to monitoring what I eat since that seems to help me concentrate on it. At least I went shopping for fruit yesterday so breakfast was better this morning, and I have stuff to snack on at work.

Speaking of which, it must be nearly lunchtime here and Bodypump always make me STARVING!
