Training

Wednesday, August 30

Ran 30 minutes today. The last 5 minutes were brutal. I hope I can finish this thing.

Ran 27 minutes on Sunday. I didn't love the last 6 minutes, but it was doable.

My ass is shrinking from the T-Tapp Diva Derriere moves (worst 4 minutes of my day, but the bulk of my ass is moving from the sides to the back, so I'm trying to push through). And my arms are starting to get cut from the T-Tapp arm sequence. I can't tell if my stomach is shrinking mostly from the T-Tapp or because I'm de-bloating now that I'm off wheat. Probably both.

TheT-Tapp 60 Day Challenge bit the dust after 5 days in 95 degrees with no AC and my mom breaking her ankle.

I was thinking about my recent fitness "failures" and wondering why I'm not upset about them. I think it's because I'm learning so much about myself each time I even try something. Plus, no one succeeds straight out of the box, so I need to fail to get to success.

So I'm running the Komen 5K on September 10. I started by running 15 minutes, and bump it up 2 minutes every time I run, which is every other day. By the race I'll be able to run for 41 minutes, is the plan.

This morning I ran 23 minutes. It was totally doable. I still don't like running, but it's not so hard physically this time. I think the T-Tapp is increasing my overall fitness enough to help the running.
