Holy Rusted Joints Batman!

On Monday, I did nothing. I sat on the couch and watched tv as an opportunity to get 10 miles in passed me by. I then spent the evening celebrating my friend's birthday, and not shredding. Monday...I don't want that to happen again.

So, as I explained my struggle to Fitness Guru Syd, she suggested I split my 10 miles - 5 in the morning, 5 in the afternoon. Done.

Yesterday I got up, suited up, and headed out for five miles. It went pretty well, even though the weather SUCKED. No rain, slight wind, but absolutely no sun. It was very blah. But I felt pretty good about my pace and endurance, which is what really matters. When I got back, according to my clock it took me 1h 15min! I was outraged! But decided not to let it ruin my day.

I went to a First Aid training, had lunch with the roomie, then met up with Syd for the other 5 miles.

Surprisingly enough, these five went a lot better. It was A LOT sunnier, we hit a couple of trails (which feel awesome on my knees), and kept a really good pace. It was very nice.

Got home...and shredded. Technically, Shred IX. I struggled with the jumping because my legs were so tired from their runs. And the shoulder work was as hard as ever! My joints felt like an old lady's. And this morning hasn't been pleasant either. I think the reason Jillian wants you to do 30 straight days is to not let your body realize how beat up it's getting. Beat up and buff.
