Today's Workout (1/28-2/3/09)

Ok, I guess its time to catch up again. I'm not sure if I feel more guilty of not keeping up with this blog or the fact that I have run only 2 or 3 times in the last month. Or the fat that has started to collect around my stomach. ugh. I think I've been taking enough rest days to make up for the last two years when it was rare for me to not work out for a day.

Today's Workout (1/12/09-1/15/09)

As much as I expected to not do very much cardio this week, I was wrong. I tested myself monday night and ran on the treadmill. I figure if I could get through a half hour and feel ok, then I would do my normal cardio for the week. I didn't feel great after 30 minutes, but I felt ok.

2. 30 minute personal trainer session

2. 30 minute personal training session

1/15/09--REST. It snowed last night so I worked from home today. that is no excuse for not working out since I have a fairly fully equipped gym in my house. But I was tired and lazy, so I did nothing. oh, wait, I did shovel the driveway, that counts for something, right? even if it was the lightest fluffiest snow I have ever seen.

Today's Workout (1/5/09-1/11/09)

Looks like I've become a once a week updater. I honestly didn't workout very much this week. I don't think I will be working out very much for this upcoming week either, we'll see how it goes.

I know it is very unlike me to rest this much, but it is very much needed. Trust me, I hate it. I am really missing my cardio. All I want to do is run on the treadmill, but I know I shouldn't.

Today's Workout (12/27/08 & 12/28/08)

12/27/08--went to bootcamp, and I actually felt great when I was done. I got home and did a quick 2 mile outside run with my husband (it was drizzling and I have no idea why we decided to run outside!)

1. 50 Minute bootcamp class
2. 20 minute outside run--Total--2 miles

12/28/08

1. 45 minute outside run--Total--4.08 miles. It was unusually warm out today (upper 50's) so I took advantage of it and ran outside. I was slow compared to how I normally run, but that is ok.

Today's Workout (12/26/08)

I went to my bootcamp class this afternoon. I still took it easy and went at my own pace, which was MUCH slower than my normal pace. I feel good now. Normally I would come home and run on the treadmill after, but I am skipping that part. it was a fairly easy class, not too intense, and anything that involved jumping I pretty much altered so that I didn't have to jump. I did squats instead of jumping squats, back lunges instead of jumping lunges...I kinda feel like I didn't get the best workout, but I don't want to push it too much yet. On a better note, I am on vacation until Jan. 5th! I'm going snowboarding with my husband, sister and future brother in law next weekend. I probably won't be snowboarding much, but I will be using the fitness center, which has a pool. YAY for swimming!

1. 50 minute bootcamp class

So there you go. there aren't many details because I can't remember the details. I've been slacking a bit this week. I've been having some issues and just trying to take it easy for a bit. I'm going to a bootcamp class today, so hopefully that will go ok and I will be right back into my normal workouts.

I did something different today...I did a spinning class. I really think that you need to like the instructor in order to like the class. I did spinning one other time with a different instructor and I didn't like it at all. Tonight, I liked it. I'll probably do it again, although my butt is a little sore from it.

Today's Workout (12/3/08)

I ran a lot today. My stupid cell phone rang while I was on the treadmill, so I hit pause and answered it. by the time I went to start up the treadmill again it had reset. I had no idea how long or how far I had run. So I started over. I think I ended up doing about 40 minutes of intervals, which is just insane. No wonder my legs are so tired today.

1. 15 minutes (?) treadmill--intervals 6.5/8.2. Total--1.67 miles(?)
2. 35 minutes treadmill (after resetting)--Intervals--6.5/8.2 for 25 minutes, then 6.5 for the rest. Total--3.87 miles

Today's Workout (11/30/08)

I worked out hard today. I have been eating way too much, so I'm trying to compensate at least a little for that. I can actually kick my own butt!! I did a total of 178 burpees today. Not all at once, in groups of 20, but still, that is a lot! When I told my trainer that I was eating a lot of pie he said to do 10 burpees for each bite of pie I had. I may have actually came close to that!

• 35 minutes "Lisa's Bootcamp"--general circuit was 20 burpees, 1 minute step cardio, 1 minute either push ups or sit ups X 10. I swapped burpees for frog jumps once or twice and a switched up the step cardio a bit (step up/over's, step up taps, jump up/over's)
• 35 minutes treadmill--6.5 mph (7.0 for 3/4 mile). Total--3.61 miles

Today's Workout (11/28/08)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a nice day with my family and now I am back to my workouts (well, I guess I never really stopped, did I?)

1. 50 minute bootcamp class
2. 40 minute outside run --Total--4.08 miles

Thanksgiving Day Workout (11/27/08)

Turkey Trot!!!!
We dragged our lazy butts out of bed nice and early, put on some layers and headed over to the turkey trot. I did ok, not better than my last time though. I really wanted to improve. I was about 30 seconds slower, but still not bad. We left right after we finished the race because I had to get home to put the turkey in the oven. So we didn't stick around to see the results and who won the divisions. about 11am I went online to check, I came in 3rd in my division again! So once I figure out who to call and get in touch with them I will have trophy #2!!! Then my hubby and I ran another 2 miles once we got home, just for good measure. We are so used to running 4 miles that a 3 mile race just isn't enough, especially when you plan on stuffing your face with turkey and pie later :)

1. 5k race--23:40. total--3.12 miles
2. .5 mile jog--jogged back a little, met up w/ my sister and ran to the finish line again with her
3. 20 minute outside run--Total--2 miles

Today's Workout (11/26/08)

I think I did a pretty good job of coming up with a workout for myself today! I didn't want to do a long run, so I created my own "bootcamp". I just listed 15 different exercises that I would do for a minute each and printed it out and did it twice. All body weight & cardio stuff--squats, burpees, jumping jacks...it worked out wonderfully! I ran a little but I took it easy, I'm saving my lets for the turkey trot tomorrow morning. I'm probably going to freeze my ass off...

1. 35 minutes bootcamp--"Lisa's Bootcamp"
2. 20 minutes treadmill--6mph--Total--1.81 miles

Today's Workout (11/25/08)

Today was a whirlwind workout day for me! I did more than normal because of the short week and the fact that my trainer is away until Monday. So I picked up a training session today, but it is my last one of the week. Although I do have big plans of kicking my own butt tomorrow. I am not going to run tomorrow because I always run better when I don't run the day before, so I am saving it for Thursdays race. So for tomorrow I put together my own "bootcamp". I'll post that tomorrow. lets get back to today.

1. 30 minute cardio class
2. 30 minute bootcamp class
3. 30 minute personal training session--all upper body
