Yesterday I was a bad runner, skipping my run to relax and go to a park. I felt bad for it, but today... today I made up for my laziness.
I woke up and actually got out of bed in order to go on a run before work. I got down a few minutes later than I wanted, but still... I went running this morning!
And the good runner status didn't even end there. After I work I got back and did an abs and arm circuit. My legs were still pretty sore from my last circuit and run this morning so I just focused on my arms and abs. I did the Jillian Michaels "No More Trouble Zones" and skipped a lot of the squats and what not, but it did have a lot of weights for the arms and abs so it went well. I could definitely feel my arms and abs working. I'm going to be sore tomorrow... but I'll be happy and proud of myself with each step of soreness.
2 weeks from today... I would have finished the Disneyland Half Marathon and I will be hanging out with friends at home!

Abs and Yoga
First thing I felt this morning... my shoulders were super sore. I guess that weight workout was more than I thought, but I'm not one to get deterred by some soreness and pain. Actually, I'm one of those people that while I complain about being sore, I love actually being sore. I believe it shows that I've done something in my workout and I've worked hard. It's a reward in a crazy way I guess.
Even though I could barely lift my shoulders I went ahead and popped Jillian Michael's 6 Weeks 6 Pack. The workout is hard. It's one circuit you do twice, although it feels like you're doing circuits within the big one, however you only repeat and exercise if you're changing sides. Again, my first impressions are positive. It was hard and I was sweating a lot, but it was a good hard workout. My abs currently aren't sore, but we'll see if that changes. If not... then I guess I'll just have to push myself harder.
When I was done with the abs, I started the yoga workout. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to actually finish it this time because I had to get ready for work. I went through the first routine and used the yoga to stretch out a bit.
Tomorrow... I'm planning on using the elliptical. I'll admit that I'm a bit scared to find a new route in Orlando... It's a new place and what not. I'll figure out a way to get outside again soon though, I promise you and myself that. For now, it'll be the elliptical.
