Saturday morning, I took my good ol' time getting to into the home gym, but I eventually showed up for my 12 miler. I gave up about 948784 times during that 2 hours, but kept telling myself "just one more mile." That mantra got me to the 12th.
After that adventure ended, I immediately jumped into my P90X3 workout, which was the Eccentric Upper video. I have to say, the Eccentric Upper and Lower workouts are a challenge for me, but that only gives me hope that my body is going to see some significant changes. I was thankful that I recorded myself doing the moves so I could see where my form needed improvement (I recommend you do it too!). Now there's no room for error...or a loss in results.
By the time it finished the workout, I was POOPED. I NEVER do both running and strength training in one day, but Phase II of P90X3 and my running schedule overlap for one day with the modified schedule I'm doing. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
On Sunday, Peter had to get in 18 miles. Since it was still freezing out, he too was tied to the treadmill. Though he did take a quick intermission after mile 12, he finished all 18 miles in less than 3.5 hours. I am becoming evermore hopeful for a good first marathon time for him.
I hopped on for 10k once he finished, then threw in my ab workout.
Honestly, I still cannot believe that I have been committed to EVERY SINGLE WORKOUT on my schedule this year, but I am glad that I've shown up! Here's why...
The changes may seem mild, but to me, this is amazing! Fourty-five days of commitment to healthy eating and working out has finally started to show! And even though abs were my top priority, I am hoping to see significant changes elsewhere once I am done the entire program!
I highly recommend the Beachbody programs so I did become my own coach. So if you like my results and want to claim them as your own, check out "Free Coaching" on the menu at the top of the blog!
Anyway, the workouts for the week are pretty similar to last. I just changed some things around since I was off work yesterday.
