Good Start to the Week!!!

Saturday or Sunday, Mike gave me a challenge. It was not a how far or how many times I can run or bike. I just had to show up and I've shown up. Monday, I went over to Mike's house and we did a garage workout. It was pretty damn rough. It was a cardio/strength training session. We did some bench press, jumping jacks, curls, boxing, push ups, and other stuff that I can not remember. It was awesome and I sweated like crazy.

Monday down, then comes Tuesday. I woke up sore in the shoulders, chest and abs. Did not want to get out of bed, but I had to go to work. After my work day was done, I headed to Mike's house with the wife. We were suppose to run, but I decided to bike, while my wife and Mike ran around his neighborhood. It was pretty easy, until they informed me that I had to do 2 more miles then they ran. So, I picked it up and started pushing myself pretty hard to get those extra miles. At the end of the ride I was exhausted and my legs were burning like crazy. Day 2 is done and over. Day 3 will be stretching/yoga and I might possibly go for a run during lunch.

Since I did not get to post this yesterday, I will continue today's blog below.

Wednesday I did 30 minutes of stretching, but no run during lunch. I felt somewhat bad about it, but it was not actually part of the plan yesterday. It was going to be extra work for day 3, but I let a few things at work get in the way. Day 4's run is part of the plan, so I can not make excuses for that run. Since, Mike is not feeling well. I am going to attempt to go on my lunch break. I am bound and determined to hit the road today.

Thursday, I actually got out of my house during lunch and got moving. I started my run and felt horrible, but I kept moving. I got to mile 1.2 and decided to head back to the house, but I asked myself WWMD? (what would Mike do?), so I turned back around and completed another loop. The rest of the run was great, I hit a good stride and a series of songs and felt great. Finished the run and things felt well

Distance: 2.32 miles
Pace: 17'50''/mi
Time: 41:23

The next three days I did absolutely nothing.   

I have not kept up with my food journal the last three days, so I have nothing to report there. I need to keep better track of what goes into my body. I will start back tracking my food Monday May 02.
