thanks desertagave! :)

did the treadmill today for 30 minutes. fourth day in a row.

I did the treadmill for 40 minutes at 3.5 speed today and I just about died.... but I feel great right now!

I did it! I did it! I did it!

There were several time during that workout I thought I was going to give up but I didn't. :D

And I'm soooo glad to be done, lol.

30 minutes step aerobics, 40 minutes turbo jam.

I mixed walking and jogging with my dog for about 40mins total

People said today, "It's officially 100 degrees outside today in Central Park. Why are you going to the gym?"

Heh. Because it's an ice palace. And there's a lot of cold water there freely available. And towels. And because my gym is much better air-conditioned than my apartment, which is a prewar & thus hasn't got the ductwork for central air.

The gym was really busy. Lots of people had cabin fever & had to go somewhere. And some of those who work out outside maybe saw all those air quality warnings about the ozone & decided they'd better not get their runs in at the park after all.

I'm a sweaty icky mess, but I feel awesome. ^________^

1 hour step cardio and weight intervals, followed by yoga.

I had fun with my workouts today. Spent some time in the pool this morning, and am just back from a strength workout with my trainer. He introduced me to jump squats today which are very... jumpy. And hard.

WOO HOO!!! I ran (well, jogged) 2.45 miles this morning in about 27.5 minutes. That is a new record for me...and I feel like a rock star :D :D :D

Finished up with a short cool down, then pushups, tri dips, and core work. I had to get up at 4:50am to get this done so my hubby could leave for work by 6:00. I really thought about skipping it, but decided I'd be kicking myself all day if I didn't push through.

So I did. And I'm glad. And I cannot believe I'm running OUTSIDE!!! Really empowering - especially after I mapped my run to see how far I went ;)

Congrats on all the successes!! So fun to see how everyone is pushing themselves to do more than we all thought was possible.

cherylmn :cheer:

cherylmn Great job! That's some awesome commitment, getting up at 4:50. I can barely get at 5:50 to make my husband breakfast, let alone workout. Good for you! :carrot:

I'm so glad I found this thread! I've been so pumped about my workouts lately that I'm just dying to share!

I am doing an Insanity/half marathon training combo. This morning I planned to go on a 3 mile run. It was raining which I just LOVED but a mile into it, it started pouring so hard I couldn't see well, so I went home. I finished the next 2 miles on the treadmill which was so BORING!!! I can't believe I used to prefer it.

Tonight I'll finish my workout with a Cardio Recovery workout from Insanity.

So funny - I had the EXACT same thought this morning as I was enjoying a lovely run outdoors chasing bunnies all over my neighborhood ;). Outside is waaaaayyyyyyyyy better!
