Workout: Jillian Michael's workout (Ripped in 30)
Run: 15 minutes
I thought I could be a super hero and do both a Jillian Michael's workout AND a 20 minute (at least) run. Well, I only got in a 15 minute run. My legs were dead running up the hill (about 5 minutes into my route) and after that it was hard to go the next 10 minutes. 90+ temps never help either!

Michelle's workout 7.25.12
Distance: 2 mile hike
My parents are in town, which is why there has been a lack of running, but we did go on a 2 mile mountain hike today. The weather was not, but we were shaded the whole time... and we had great views! They are leaving tomorrow morning, so I'm hoping to get back to running!

Michelle's run 7.21.12
Distance: 5 miles
It was so nice to run in sub-80 degree weather. It was also cloudy. I actually felt really good the whole run!

Michelle's Run 7.18.12
Time: 30 minutes
I had actually written off running today, but when I stepped outside and noticed that it was semi-cooler, I decided to go for it. This means dinner won't be ready at 8 when Michael gets home...oops!

Michelle's run 7.16.12
time: 20 minutes
I didn't start running until 9:45 this morning (Hallelujah for no more summer school!) and it was a bit warm. Not really that warm if you were just walking, but once my body warmed up it was hot! But I made it. I can't believe I didn't run more last week. I think it was a heat, stress, tired combo. Saturday we went to Michael's mom's house and helped her sort through 25 years of stuff... while it wasn't really a workout I was moving stuff most of the day. I don't have an excuse for yesterday.
Here's hoping this week is better exercise wise. I HAVE to get in a habit before school starts back up.

Mysti 07-11-2012
I have not workout out since last Wed. We went out of town over weekend, Monday was cleaning and laundry and then Tue was Sam's 2 month shots. Just as I was about to go run tonight Sam spit up all over John and had a really bad diaper. On the bright side I've lost 4 more pounds and my jeans fit again, just a little still.
Michelle's Run 7.10.12
Time: 40 minutes
Yesterday I went for a 40 minute run after it rained and cooled the temperature a little bit. It was still humid and I was dripping in sweat at the end, but it was much more bearable.

Jilian Michael's Ripped in 30: Week 2
Michael has started a new work schedule. He works from 11:30-8:00pm. I work from 8am-1pm. That leaves a lot of time for me to get things done. I find myself running out of excuses not to workout... :) It was too hot to run, so I did a JM video instead. I tried not to be lazy and do everything the best I could (sometimes I'm guilty of only halfway doing stuff...oops!)

AJC Peachtree Road Race 7.4.12
Yesterday, Michael and I ran the Peachtree Road Race 10k. It was a hot run! (As you can probably tell by the redness in my face...even 30 minutes after finishing!) Although I had to walk up a lot of the hills, my time wasn't awful. 1:09:33. I didn't even sprint at the end because I wasn't sure where the end was! I also didn't know it was going to be so hilly. I think if I ran it again, I would be better prepared. I also wouldn't get surgery the week before. However, I think the fact that this race is on July 4th will always make it a tough race, weather-wise.
What was really neat about the race was all of the people! There were 60,000 participants! Then there were spectators all along the streets cheering people on. Some people came in costume, some carried flags the whole way, some people handed out beer and shots instead of water! It was an experience. I told Michael I didn't think I would do it again, but we'll see!

Michelle's Run 7.2.12
Time: 30 minutes
Two runs in 2 days... what is the world coming to??? I had another late evening run. I ran the whole 30 minutes without stopping, although the last 5 were ROUGH! This will be my last run before the 10k Wednesday, I feel a little better about it.

Michelle's run 7.1.12
Distance: 1.5 miles
An easy, short run in 95 degree temps! I decided at 8:40pm that I needed to run today. We have had record high heat (yesterday it was 106) lately. But, I am running a 10k Wednesday, so I knew I needed to go for a run. It was still hot out, but the sun was setting, so it didn't feel so hot. I was happy to be able to run 1.5 miles less than a week after my surgery. It wasn't fast or pretty, but I made it.
While I was running an old man said "It's too hot to run!" I shouted back, "I know. I'm crazy!"
I'm hoping to get one more run in before Wednesday. I am nowhere near prepared. I think my strategy is going to be to take it a mile and a half at a time.
