Hard Core Fitness Maniacs for Mon July 25

I did get my workout in on Saturday, I did Week 4, Day 3 of C25K. I had a hard time with the 1/2 mile jogs. I did them, but was totally sucking wind big time. Did them at a 4.0 mph. This should be easy for me, I don't get it.

But also, I was fighting with my HR monitor again. It just won't keep reading my HR when I start to jog. I don't know what the problem is. I was getting so distracted about that and I think that is one reason I was sucking wind. I still haven't changed the battery in it, but I highly doubt that's the problem.

Anyways, Stats from Saturday were:

46 minutes total
6 minutes below zone
18 minutes in zone
23 minutes above zone
368 calories burned
2.5 miles travelled


Today starts Week 5 with C25K. Today's workout was 3 - 1/2 mile jogs with 1/4 mile walk in between. This was tough for me, but I did it. I did NOT wear my HR monitor. I'm sick of the distractions. Again, I was sucking wind by the end of the each 1/2 mile. Friday I'm suppose to run 2 miles straight, I honestly don't see that happening. I don't get how this rotation can go from 1/2 mile stretches to 2 miles. I'll do what I can, but I know I can't go 2 miles straight. That's just way too much for me.

No stats but I did run 2.5 miles.

I didn't have as much time to get my workout in this morning before my dentist appointment. I think I was awake half the night. I heard a bang that woke me the first time and one of my hanging plants on the patio had fell. Then storms came up. Power went in and out several times then stayed out from 4-5:30. I did not want to get up.
I started with Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Dynamics interval mix skipping the stretch 22:38 min, 153 calories. I then did the w/up and lower body from STS Total Body 30 min, 150 calories. I added Lower Body Blast floorwork using the blue firewalker band and 5# ankle weights 14 min, 53 calories. Total workout time was 71 min and calories burned 356.
Now I am supposed to meet a friend for lunch in a few minutes. I wish I didn't still have a numb mouth.
 
Debbie, I think if you go to edit you can delete one of those posts. Nice work today;)
