Sept 22nd - 26th

So I had the opportunity to do a road trip from the 22nd through the 26th. I did my skating for the week but planned to get in a lot of walking and jogging the weekend I would be away.

As it turned out, it worked out perfectly. I didn't jog a whole lot, but I got in a LOT of walking and felt good about marking week 6 completed. Every opportunity, I was running stairs in a stadium, walking the town a bit and just having a fantastic time. I ended up down 2lbs from the previous week, which is a net loss of .5 lbs for the past 2 weeks. I'll take it!

This week, just got in run #1 officially for week 7. I was running outside and forgot to watch the time. I ended up running the first 11:30 minutes, walking one minute and finishing out the 30 minutes running. I FELT GREAT!

I will get in 2 runs officially this week, but with all of the stairs I've done playing catch-up with housework, laundry and vacuuming, I have no qualms about moving forward. Especially after the relative ease today presented. It was amazing!

Tonight I also did my Insanity Fit Test: Day 1

1. Switch Kicks: 45

2. Power Jacks: 45

3. Power Knees: 80

4. Power Jumps: 25

5. Globe Jumps: 10

6. Suicide Jumps (burpees): 15

7. Push-Up Jacks: 10

8. Low Plank Oblique: 40

Off to shower and looking forward to the rest of the week!

As an aside, I'd like to give a shout-out to my awesome friend, Dingo. She has planned and put together a half-marathon plan that not only ties in with my skating at least 3 days a week, it also takes in to account my RYBO! training that I'm in the midst of. THANK YOU DINGO!!! I love you, baby!

Yours in Fitness,
