It's not that you can't, it's that you won't. Hmmmm, remind you of anyone? I now realize that I was making excuses to not run yesterday - not only was I making excuses, I was trying to justify those excuses by getting others to agree with me. And guess what? It worked! It wasn't that I CAN'T run, it was that I WOULDN'T run. I was choosing not to. So, from now on when there is a run scheduled, I will run until my lungs burn - no questions, no excuses, no reasoning, no choice - just do it. :) I am also going to make sure I get a run in each day this weekend, to make up for the days that I didn't run - on Tuesday I biked instead of attempting to run, and also yesterday I ran, but didn't want to. No more excuses for me, ladies!
That being said, I am SO glad there is NOT a run today! Yay me, right? *wink, wink* Today's workout is for time:
15 - thruster, 20 lbs
burpees
thrusters, 20 lbs
leg lifts
thrusters, 20 lbs
situps
thrusters, 20 lbs
pushups
thrusters, 20 lbs
burpees
Looks like a good one!

9:22 - Wow, oh wow! I set a personal goal of 10 minutes or less and am SO, SO happy that I met/exceeded that goal!! I have to admit, I really pushed through those last burpees to make it. I hate burpees and who would think those things get your heart rate up so much? At least they do for me! I like working out in the winter because I have the vents closed in my exercise room so it doesn't get hot up there, but being on the second floor it still gets a little warm. But the worst thing I hate about working out in winter? Coming downstairs to a blazing fire in the fireplace! It's very hard to cool down in front of a fire. ;)
The hardest thing for me today was NOT the burpees, as I thought it would be, but it was actually the leg lifts! Oh my word!!! Those were killer! I'm so glad there was only 15 of those suckers!! I used 24 lbs. again on the thrusters and did really good on those until the last set. I actually had to stop after 8 and shake out my arms! I am impressed with how deep I can squat down while doing thrusters now. I can definitely see an improvement on that AND in my situps. Pushups are getting better, but I still had to pause after 12. I think that's from using my shoulders in the thrusters and burpees, though. I hope that's all it was!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I have to make up Monday's workout tomorrow, and do a run on Sunday - so no break for me. Oh well, that's what I get for slacking! lol
Berta you amaze me! I LOVE your attitude!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gina! I'm working on being real and owning up - no excuses! You know...that is REALLY hard to do sometimes.
