Michelle's Workout 9.25.11

30 Day Shred DVD

I was sweating with Jilian Michael's this afternoon (although, she didn't seem to be sweating quite as much...)

This week was crazy and I didn't get to workout as much as I wanted.  I even had to go into school Saturday and today!  ugh!  This week shouldn't be as crazy.

I really need to find a semi-flat place in Chattanooga to run. Since I'm out of shape, the thought to running on all of those hills is really overwhelming.  When I get overwhelmed thinking about it, I just don't run at all.  I'm going to research some areas.  I also need to sign up for a race... or find one to train for.  Basically, I need to do SOMETHING!  haha.

On another note, when did it become the end of September???

Michelle's Run 9.18.11

Distance: 5k (3.1 miles) Run/Walk

Today I went to a friend's house and parked my car so that I could run in her flatter neighborhood.  I thought for sure I could run 3 miles without stopping.  Ha!  It was a lot easier, but I didn't make it 3 miles.  It was also about 80 degrees.  But I think I'm just more out of shape than I thought.  I'll just have to keep working at it.  I need to come up with a running/workout plan now that the temperatures are cooling off.

Also, I worked out 4 times last week and only once this week.  But this week was sooo busy with work.  I didn't leave school before 5pm any night.  That may seem like no big deal, but I get to school before 7 every morning.  I also had school work to work on almost every night too!  Ugh!  This week is going to be worse, but I'm going to try to squeeze in a few workouts!

Mysti's Run 09-17-2011

Workout: 2 Mile Run

It rained most of the day so I didn't think I was even going to get a run in, but around 6ish the sun came out. I hope for a little long run tomorrow; however, it is suppose to rain all day tomorrow as well.

Michelle's Workout 9-11-11

Jilian Michael's 30 Day Shred Video 2

I did a 30 Day Shred video this evening.  It would have been a good day to run, but I just didn't get there today.  But this is my 4th workout this week (counting Mon-Sunday as a week).  Go me!  Maybe I'm starting to get back into the swing of things.

Michelle's Run 9.10.11

20 minute run
10 minute walk

I tried a different way around the super hilly neighborhood and it wasn't a good way.  I tried going uphill at the beginning instead of the end and thought it might work out better.  It didn't.  I run up the hill ok, but then I was so tired and hot I had to stop and walk.  Ugh!

Workout: 8 Mile Run
Time: 86 Minutes

I was shocked that this run went so well. My goal was 95 minutes.
60 degree weather was very helpful.

Michelle's Run 9.8.11

Yes, you read that right... a Run!!  The weather was just too perfect after school not to run.  I was going for 30 minutes, but only made it about 25.  There were some really steep hills, which I had to walk occasionally.  But overall I felt good about the run and was proud of myself for getting up the energy to run after a long day at school.  Go me!

Side note, I have actually lost some pounds over the last couple of weeks.  I don't know if it's lost muscle, better eating, or something else.

Michelle's Workout 9-6-11

There was flooding in Chattanooga, so I did 2 different 10 minute workouts.  My legs are feeling it today!  Today was the first time in FOREVER that it was actually a runable temperature, I'm hoping that this keeps up so I can possibly, maybe get back to running. haha.

Workout: 6.3 Mile Run
Time: 70 Minutes

It was a little warm than I excepted, but I found two new neighborhoods that are connected by sidewalks. I have maneuvered a path now to about 8 neighborhoods with only about 20 feet of no sidewalk. I also think I can get to a couple more through another short distance without sidewalks; however, I probably need to get to around my 10 mile goal to include those neighborhoods.

Mysti's Run 09-04-2011

Workout: 7.5 Mile Run

My plan was just to get some kind of run in. I took it slow and was enjoying the 70 degree weather and next thing I knew it had been 5 miles and I still felt great. I don't know my pace exactly, but I left the house about 5:20 and was back a couple of minutes before 7:00pm.

A very much need feel good run !!
