June 29th - Now

Attempting to update this for the month that I've lost....I have a new watch that I do not know how to view the historical data. That is flat out annoying. I really am a goal oriented person - so it's bad when I cannot see progress (or get motivated by lack there of). Okay - offically resolving to be positive!!!

Since blogging last lots of great things have happened:

(1) Started circuits (10 min videos with P90X dude...) with coworkers! It was an eye opening experience at my lack of strength (could not complete the videos I used to get through w/ relative ease) and embarassing the level of soreness I felt in my abs and arms! Running does not do everything your body needs - crazy concept eh? I was definitely motivated by my awesome coworkers who joined me for two evenings to do two 10min videos. Thanks chicas! Def excited to repeat again this week :-)

(2) Track workout!! Finally took the time and found UCLAs track and ran on it. Maybe I shouldn't have by the looks of my 400m times...ugh! I came in thinking I would do 6 or 8 x 400m repeats. I ended up doing 4 (84,95,106,98) at very SLOW times. My goodness have I slowed done :-p This is an awesome wake up call to fit in more track/speed workouts vs just plugging along to rack up mileage!

(3) Long runs outside w/o music :-) It feels so much better to run outside than inside when it comes to times over an hour! The without music thing came by chance of not having headphones - it actually didn't drive me crazy (well relatively). I was surprised how much I kept track of my breathing, pace, etc but would you expect anything less from a control freak without music as a distration?

Anyhoo - I will attempt to keep up with this more often, realizing yall might not care about the exact #s and the feelings behind it are prob more interesting anyways, right?? :-)
