Feeeeeeel the Burn

Shred VI:
Okay so my endurance is getting a little better. I did the push ups at about half the speed as the dvd, which is about twice as fast as I was doing before. And my shoulders started to feel the burn during the chest flies (I don't know if they're supposed to, but they did), which I think means I'm getting stronger.

I took it a little on the lighter side today when it came to cardio. Only because I also ran 5 miles. I'm sure pretty soon my body's going to catch on to what I'm doing and just go with it, but right now it's not a happy camper. It's not an angry rebelling camper either, which is good.

Run:
So five miles...phew. At about 2 miles, I wasn't sure I was going to make it. I really felt like I was huffing and puffing. BUT, it was SUPER nice out this morning, which made it so much more enjoyable. And the last couple of miles went really well. There is definitely a point during my runs (usually after the first 1.5 miles) where my body says "Okay, this isn't so bad, let's keep going."

And it always makes me smile when I calculate my time. 1h 10m for 5.59 miles, which means my speed was 4.8 mph, and my average mile is 12:30

:D
