Hey Wendy!
I am feeling SO good today.
Just got back from about a 7.5 miler outside. Held a 9:40 pace with zero knee pain the whole way. YIPEE!!!!!!! About died the second half of the run, though-- uphill against the wind... didn't quite plan that one very well! I haven't felt that strong in almost a year. Maybe I'm better prepared for this relay than I thought. (Only 2 weeks... ACK!!!)
I love, love, love Jillian's new workouts. Even though I don't use very heavy weights they always beat me up pretty good.
I hear you about the book workouts. Sometimes it just seems like you've just gotta think too much... Yesterday I was EXHAUSTED and just couldn't get the momentum up to do the circuit in the book. So I did one of her DVD circuits that targeted the same muscles... so I don't feel like I cheated too much. To answer your question, each week there are 2 totally new circuits. You only repeat a circuit once. Don't know if that makes sense... but the way it ends up working for me is that each week I do the same workout on Monday and Thursday, and the other new circuit Tuesday and Friday. Then there's totally new workouts for the next week, etc. The first circuit of the week focuses on push muscles, the second on pull muscles... and the circuits get progressively harder as the month goes on. I've heard great things about NROL4W... I may have to try that one out in awhile.
Oh, yes, the GWF would be fabulous, that's for sure!!!!! So many gadgets... so little time....
Tonight is my cousin's wedding... Trying to decide if I've burned enough calories today for a little cheat wedding cake. Gotta jet.... Have a fab weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
