first of all .. thanks for all the sweet encouraging comments on my last post. Yall are great!
I have finally decided what to do about the cardio part of my training. I have been debating as to just do hiits for the next 16 weeks or go ahead and train for the half. After reading a bit on the transformation site .. It seems what most people do who want to train for marathons and do bfl is just incorporate hiits into thier training runs. So i will just do a few sprints probably close to the end of my training runs during the week... not on my long runs though :) You can see I am on week 3 of my training so that means 50 min runs during the week :)
More later today after I do schooling with the kids and get my workout in :)
UPDATE: 137pm
just home from track practice with the kids... i ran 3 laps at a easy pace and then did 6 killer sprints... urgh...
I will each lunch and then lift weights.. more after :)
UPDATE #2
I am so excited! I JUST finished lifting.. UPPER BODY
I am back up to using 20lbs weights in each hand for flies and curls!!!!!
such good news.. I thought it would be at least another week or so before i was able to go up..
but I guess its all coming back sooner than I expected! YIPEEEEEE.
Soreness is def in my future for tomorrow.. I did burnouts too!
I am also thrilled that I did burnouts on chest press using the smith machine and the bar.. which is the exercise i did when i hurt my shoulder! .. felt good to be back at the smith :)
just a GREAT day today. eats were a bit off.. but I know that is because I didnt eat every 2.5 hours like i should.. so I over did it a bit on carbs a bit.. .. I had low energy when i got back from running those sprints and I dont think my salad i ate was enough.... next time I will drink some protien before I eat :)
SWEEEET
