mhill0823 - THANK YOU for reminding me about the Warrior Dash! I'm in no way prepared for it this year, but now completing the Warrior Dash is my year goal. The boyfriend and I have decided to make a weekend of it. He's not really into fitness, but the free beer and turkey leg at the end sounded pretty good to him. ;p

Hope you ladies are all ready for August 1!

Riestrella, I loved your idea of breaking up your workouts into types of workouts. I have been procrastinating with adding strength training, so this might be the perfect solution. I'm probably going to have to steal your idea now.

[KamsMoMa]

Hi Kariatari.. I'm extremely excited about starting this journey on the 1st!!! I'm so ready for this challenge :-)

[Riestrella]

This starts tomorrow! Can't wait! Been feeling a bit sluggish the last few days, but ready to kick start it all off!

Yay! Glad I could be of some help! I'm following a running training programme and I just love the way it's arranged. The main thing I changed was adding an additional strength day, just because I did a bit of research and the general rule of thumb is to work certain muscle groups on certain days. So day 1 is chest, shoulders and triceps, day 2 is thighs, hamstrings, calves, glutes...general leg exercises and day 3 is back, biceps, abs and core. I suck the most at the strength stuff, so I'm hoping to stick with it!

The programme I use is here if you're interested: http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm

[kariatari]

Thanks for the link, Riestrella! That program looks awesome! I'm two weeks from finishing C25k and was thinking of maybe training for a 10k to keep me motivated. I will have to bookmark that for future reference!

So excited to get this started, ladies! Later this morning, I'll be taking my "after" picture from the last challenge and posting it in the other thread and then posting it here for the "before". I'm a little more tan too, so I think I'll look even skinnier. I hope someone else decides to do the before & after pictures too! It really is great motivation!

Also - I've been looking at measurements and I'm pretty sure I'm up towards the top with thigh size with 24"! LoL! (And arms too at 12"!) Jealous of all of you ladies with your 22 inch thighs and 11 inch arms!
