What doesn't kill me makes me awesome instead. After looking at today's workout, let's hope this is true! You know the excited picture I posted on Friday...IT'S FRIDAY, BITCHES!!!...well, today's should be - Bitch, it's Monday, now run, Run, RUn, RUN!!! lol - Yep...it's a run day. Good news though - we ONLY run! Bad news - we are running a 10k. For those of you that don't know, that's 6.214 miles. I looked it up. Funny story - I never know kilometers/meters to miles, so I always Google it. Today,when I Googled how many miles is a 10k, one of the answers I came across said "Planning on running a 10k? Better train and get your body in shape. A 10k is 6.2 miles and should only take 3-5 minutes to complete." Ummm....yeah, I don't think so. That was posted at one of those question/answer sites where the public answers. Brittany was the fitness expert answerer for that one. Well, Brittany...you're beyond ridiculous! Even I know of no one who can run 6 miles in 3-5 minutes. Do you guys know anyone this crazy-fast?
Well, all I will say is I will try. I will finish 6.2 miles, but I already know it won't be a "run" all of the way. Right now, I plan to run my usual 9 blocks for every 1/4 mile - but I'm not sure how long I'll do that. I do know I'll need to make sure my IPOD player is close to the treadmill, because this will take more than one album to listen to while working out today! Normally, I say "wish me luck" but today it should be more like "y'all pray for me"! lol ;)

OMG!! I'm BARELY alive! I over-exagerate, but not by much! I'm going to keep this short and sweet today because I am EXHAUSTED!
4 miles on treadmill - 71:50 - I ran 9 blocks for the first two 1/4 mile segments only, then did incline walks at 3.5 all the way up to 10 incline for the next 1.5 miles - slowed to 3.3 walks with no incline up until the last 1/4 mile, then I slowed down to 3.0 walk - SO tired!
2.17 miles on stationary bike - 8:50 - I could only stay in the 15.0 to 15.4 speed. I didn't think I would be able to stand once I finished, but I did and I even made it downstairs to the couch, where I plan to stay for awhile. :)
