21 Days Later

 

So I'm currently trying to exercise 21 days in a row.  So far it's not going so well.  I keep getting closer but then life happens...back to day 1.  The good news is that in 19 days, I've only missed 2 days.  HOWEVER...starting over really stinks!!  For example, I slept through my alarm this morning so I didn't get my workout in.  My choice is either to exercise at 9pm (on a Friday night?  Are you  kidding me??) or start back at Day 1 tomorrow.  I'll let you know what I decided...

So I'm sure you are just DYING to know what I'm doing these 21 days.  I am weight training, running, and cross training.  Here's the breakdown...prepare to be bored out of your minds...

Weight Training:  Every other day I utilize the P90X weight training videos.  I LOVE THEM!  I can't do the other videos because of my bad knees.  So sad...

Running:  Well, my New Year's Resolution was to NOT run more than a 10K at one time.  It's just too painful and too frustrating.  That being said, I suddenly feel the WANT and NEED to do a half marathon, or even a FULL marathon.  I tell myself, "You don't HAVE to be fast!  13 or 26 miles is an awesome accomplishment no matter what your time is!"  But I know me, I will sell my soul to get a 8 minute pace (or in this case, shred my knees).  So yeah, should definitely try to keep it at 10K or less.  Right now I'm doing 3 mile runs, still recovering from surgery.  Anyway...I'll be posting my race updates here, I hope you do the same!!

Cross Training:  I do just elliptical right now.  I want to try rowing (looks fun!), maybe some cross fit?  I've never done cross fit. Yoga is always on my to-do list.  I'm open to any suggestions!  So I have a lot of options, just need to do them!!  MOTIVATE ME DARN IT!!
