I'm with Traci on this one: we are paying for our slacking BIG TIME. I had intentions today of running 4 miles. Uh, no. Slater and I made it 2 miles through the semi-frozen mud dodging along zig-zaggy craggy sidewalks before the wind blowing though my hoodie made me feel like I was wearing nothing at all. And those 2 miles were no cakewalk - for the first 30 seconds before hitting my stride, my lungs were burning up. This is BADDD.
Not wanting to feel totally defeated, I came home and decided to kick my butt by doing the P90X Core Synergistics video consisting of a brief warm-up, a 45 min core workout, and a cool down. Like Traci said, I was feeling like day 1 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred all over again. I was suddenly aware of every ounce of jiggle. I made it though the workout with a few modifications, but I just know I'm going to be aching tomorrow.
..... feeling like the world's worst marathon trainer.........
But, the good news is the more we pay now, the less we pay on the day of the run. You certainly don't want to be "gargling your heart" as Jillian likes to say during mile 3 of your race.
Don't feel bad ... remember, this one is our trial run. The next time we decide to do this will be the actual bit.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you're not sure you will be able to do the full, they still may let you switch to the half ... I just don't want you hurting yourself. My back going out was enough of an injury for both of us.
